Almost unbelievable. Reassuring for Sussex criminals, they'll enjoy a relaxed Christmas with that area's police force. .

Thanks for the link Raboa, at 10.2 kilos total, easily the lightest of e-bikes. For once an e-bike that can be carried up stairs by most. But the in-wheel battery only 158 Wh, so at the average riders 12 Wh per mile that's only around 13 miles range. They claim 13 to 19 miles so they're quite...

To Hull and back. :) (With apologies to the 1955 film, To Hell and Back) ;) .

They'll need to do better to even see them. The latest news is that the police have released the arrested couple from Crawley without charge, saying they were satisfied that they are no longer suspects. So in other words they are no further to finding anyone at all after several days of drone...

I just picked this up from something Raboa just posted, could be useful in this thread. ;) For men who are feeling down or in crisis, you can also call CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably): 0800 585858 (5pm - midnight) thecalmzone.net There'll probably be a spate of posts now recommending...

You may find that one has an internal inline fuse, it wouldn't be the first to do that, like number 6 below:

He's arguing against the EU's level playing field of course. A politician putting his ideals before the greater good and fairness. .

Indeed, and only the Dutch solution can put that right. There in The Netherlands the bike lanes crossing the road at junctions have priority and motor vehicles have to stop for bikes to ride through uninterrupted. .

Also the terrible state of maintenance of many bike paths rules out using skinny, thin tread tyred road bikes on them. The paths often never swept, they'd get punctures too frequently from hedge cuttings etc. And as remarked above, uneven path surfaces means they are very uncomfortable on...

I meant who will be right on the outcome of Leaving. Will it prove to be a sensible decision. .

Question is, who's right? The people or the elected dictatorship? If we really leave we'll find out, but if not we'll never know. .

True, the great majority of the oppositions too. I wonder why that is? Strange that a nation that voted Leave subsequently voted in mostly Remain MPs. Talk about hedging bets! .

Welcome to the forum, you've chosen two great e-bikes which should give you years of enjoyment. A Happy Christmas and an enjoyable new e-biking year to both of you. .

Indeed, I was in the trade from 1950 on and there were only old bikes since almost all new production had to go for export to pay off our war debt. I'd been working for almost a year when we got our first new bike allocation, a Hercules roadster retailing at £12 .10 shillings. .

I'd say definitely a better childhood than now. My childhood had many harsh aspects, but I'd never have had it changed to one of today's. Fortunately today's kids are unaware of what they have been missing, particularly in terms of freedom. .

Don't know, it was a random unlabelled photo tripped over when looking for bicycle sidecar images. Judging from the bike age and much battered condition, fashions etc., I'd say this was taken in the 1940s or possibly very late 1930s. I'd also guess from facial characteristics and builds it...

From a young age long ago: .

No, I wouldn't change it. I'm a long term fierce critic of the NHS as it exists in recent decades. .

Strange how these things change. Back in the 1930s and '40s they were jacks to me, meaning a common, ill mannered person. That had probably been around for a long time since my mother had used it since the 1920s at least. Later we replaced that with yobs or yobbos, until a whole variety of...

Excellent post, summarising the problem perfectly and exactly what should be done to correct it. .
