Irrelevant. Cycle sensibly and it doesn't matter where one lives. In 40% of the deaths they do have there's no other vehicle or person involved, so despite their cycling facilities, when they are not being sensible costs their lives. Over 70 years after first stepping onto a bike and with 54...

That's simply not true. I have to buy the thing, carry it with me everywhere, it's often a nuisance having nowhere to put it, in general a thorough inconvenience. That's a major reason why the Dutch never wear them, they cycle everywhere for every reason and a helmet would often be a great...

That's right, the failings of evolution have left the whole population brain damaged. Fortunately that impact corrected my genetic error, explaining why I'm always right since. .

The only time I ever needed one was at 12 years old when another kid threw a house brick high up into the air behind me. I was walking in another direction so didn't see it before it landed on my head. Cue spectacular bleeding, face and frontal clothing smothered. Still here though! :) But...

He had the option, I didn't for around 30 years since they didn't exist. So once used to that I just continued without which has proved to be a sound decision. Similar with motorcycling , not having the option for many years. Then from 1973 I had to use one by law, but since I never put a...

Welcome to the forum Josh, I hope you'll soon be wearing the e-biking smile. .

I've never worn a helmet in my many decades of cycling, no option at all for the earlier decades when half of Britain cycled since cycle helmets hadn't been invented. Same with my motorcyling, there were no consumer helmets when I started that and I had over 20 years of riding without one. My...

I'm not surprised, as I've posted over the last month or so I believe a deal has already been largely set up a while ago. The play acting has been necessary to kid the hardline Brexiters that we've fought for and won a good deal. Just tactics. .

I think there is a hidden intentional agenda behind this rapid charge issue and the optional battery rental prices show it. Nissan have listed the things that shorten battery life the most and rapid charging figures highly of course. When renting the battery which few Leaf customers do, the...

The way they see things is fantasy, just belief based, and it's a waste of time arguing against that since a faith based belief can never be budged. Just try arguing with a Jehovah's Witness to understand what I mean. The Brexiter's God is the belief that Britain and the British are uniquely...

Yes the Jaguar looks like a good proposition. I'm not concerned about "Rapidgate" since I haven't signed up to any charge network. Living on the southern edge of London I can go anywhere from Hastings to the east or Littlehampton to the west and all the country between and come back on a...

Nice, but I'm another electric driver like you and prefer my new 2018 Nissan Leaf. A better fit in Sainsburys car park. .

Thanks for the information of the new Ezee agent, great news after a long break. All the best, take care and enjoy your new life. :) .

Samantha explained that she wished her ten year old could e-bike with her on longer rides since she has a knee weakness, but having seen somewhere it wasn't legal asked if anyone did have their under 14s riding an e-bike. It appears she deleted her post later but of course cannot delete the...

Not on roads and technically not in any place that the public has access to Samantha. It is strictly against UK law for anyone under 14 years to ride a pedelec, that specified in the Road Traffic Act 1988. The liability is yours as the parent. Typical British excess, it's entirely legal at...

The question Kirstin asked and I was answering as well was: "What happens to those who get caught breaking driving laws without a license ?" i.e. breaking driving laws. If truly cycling on a normal bike or legal pedelec there will be no driving offence or points of course. But if the pedelec...

Yes, they still get the points. Just like driving bans they get added to any future licence that they take out. .

Ditto. I fortunately managed to get expelled as I reached 14. .

And bullying the kids too, as in this number plates instance. It all fits with my long held opinion that schools are only partly about education, being equally meant as prisons to contain children for most of the time their parents are at work. The continuing extension of school time with ever...

Since you still have the quite new battery another Mistral would make a lot of sense, enabling long two battery expeditions or instant turnaround without waiting for a charge to complete. It has the same BPM motor as the Big Bear, but in the back wheel which many, including me, think best. .
