They knew what they were told they were fighting for. N.B. If you click to Edit your post, delete the wrong text and add the missing t to fighing, you'll find it will enable you to continue typing without the underline and italics. I've corrected the for in the quote above. .

You can compete by doing the same. Hargreaves is mediocre and always has been, jogging along on the safe route, thus attracting those too scared to do anything else. Nothing wrong with that of course, but it's not clever. .

I've explained this before but as ever, you haven't remembered. Federations usually give far more control to member states than a country's goverenment gives. This comes about through necessity, since a very large federation becomes impossible for a single central government to run every...

Its universal and the UK is as bad as any other. We have corruption endemic throughout our society, and some of it is institutionalised. If anything a supra-national body restrains that, though never able to eliminate it. .

The EU's planned future is the same parliamentary democracy we have at present, not in any way different. The things you dislike are usually the temporary ones. For example Juncker leaving his five year term of office very soon this year. And of course our democracy doesn't work, it's not...

It's not a safeguard, the establishment always takes over and has its way and that's a true for the LibDems as any other party. Remember the coalition? .

That's immaterial though. Being such a tiny country, any advantage they gain has virtually no effect on the EU or its other members. It's like complaining about Junckers expenses. How much would each EU citizen receive if he didn't draw them? And in any case, such issues are partly our own...

Correction, mutually run by all members, with a planned future of being one large democratic country. .

I agree with those above who've praised your post, it neatly sums up the referendum voting situation. It didn't matter what the issue was, even if there was racism as some maintain, it was still about feelings on any issue considered. I'm cynic enough to believe that neither Leave nor Remain...

Agreed. .

Certainly a classic, but only if spelt Powabyke, not Powerbike! ;) Does yours have the rear or front wheel motor? .

Seen it before and I don't accept it's realistic. In practical terms if we don't meet our committment we will suffer, particularly with regard to our credit rating. .

And they are justified. Within the normal span a body's musculature is automatically adjusted to ones weight and size, through living with that weight and the exercise it compels. Just look at the world's strongest man competitions, all the competitors are fat as well as strong. .

No it wouldn't. There's an £11 billions legal committment we have to meet, some of it affecting UK citizens. .

Either we believe in fair trading globally or we don't. There is no subsidised dumping. The EBMA moves have nothing to do with dumping or company sizes and everything to do with forcing up import prices of e-bikes. So to give some EU companies an unfair market advantage the consumer has...

This definitely doesn't apply in the e-bike market. The Chinese have always had the bulk of it and the much smaller European industry build with Chinese made parts anyway, importing almost everything, just painting and building. The current EBMA promoted EU anti-dumping levy was pure...

The thought never occurred to me. I just responded to a question as I've done tens of thousands of times in this forum. .

I've never commuted on any sort of bicycle, but that's coincidentally almost identical to what I did during testing a new type of battery for an e-bike maker. But as you'll see from the extract of my 1st July 2008 report below, in just six months: "the battery was never rested throughout the...

No, he asked the question and in an e-bike site it deserved an answer. Others can dig themselves out of holes. .

I'm not in that position but Cytronex cover that light assist market. Either with your own bike and their kit, or choose their kit fitted to one of their Cannondale range. Their kit is 3.6 kilos all in and is primarily for hill and headwind assist from the small bottle battery and front hub...
