Wrong again, Robdon has posted 263 times over years, many times on e-bike subjects but occasionally politically. Link to the 263 posts My favourite Brexit post of his was this one. .

They're called Balance Bikes, as you say just at normal walking and running height. But for some reason, perhaps the mention of bike, parents obsessively kit the kids with helmets, often wrongly positioned or strapped. Balance Bikes link Of course two hundred years ago these when full size...

Not just a common argument but the truth. A little while ago I posted in here the statement at the time which made it very clear that an EU was the intention. That the electorate largely took no notice was their fault, I knew in 1975 that was intended and supported it You can go back as far...

Sooner or later this will have to be resolved, just like all the other consequences of selling the family silver. Sooner is always cheaper. .

It could be an annual event. :D .

Yes. .

The railways are the most important thing, at the moment they are an expensive often foreign owned disaster and getting worse all the time. I don't agree on water, what is going on is a disgrace. Thames Water for example is foreign owned and runs as layered companies. Each function from raw...

The UK test was dropping a weight directly onto the top of the helmet, no other areas tested. The test was to give protection up to 12 mph, no more. .

Anyone can do that and most politicians do. But JC is a true socialist, something that Clegg certainly isn't, and JC actually will bring in his socialism if given the opportunity of office. This country desperately needs that, such essentials as re-nationalising the railways, Post Office and...

The Kalkhoff bikes are a good bet, always well put together, but as you already know, avoid the Impulse motor and later derivatives of it such as the Evo. Your Move B9 looks a very good choice, my only reservation is the integrated battery, since that can make you a captive market for a...

It's all in degrees. The blame is in the sense that there are small components in an accident that one is always involved in. It's likely that blame is too strong a word, but better we think in that way which promotes caution than just insist we are completely absolved. We almost never are...

I was not concerned about the failed coalition promises, Clegg was not in a position to deliver and was unfairly criticised for that. My nonentity jibe was based on my belief that he doesn't have and has never had any trace of the ability for high office. He's just another born into privilege. .

What amazing ignorance. The Romans created an empire from most of Europe and much of North Africa and the Middle East which lasted some 400 years. It also had political and economic union in a single market with a universal currency. And far from remaining subjugated, the member countries...

Indeed, now exposed as the undeserving nonentity he's always truly been. .

If only that were true, but sadly it isn't since I have had accidents, but not on two wheels. In adulthood I've hurt myself three times in accidents at home, two of them head injuries, one of which left me streaming with blood. All three were my fault and avoidable. I've had two falls while...

This is where I disagree, they were all predictable possibilities, maybe even probabilities. Clearly your cycling circumstances need you to wear a helmet, mine don't, but we ride on similar roads in the same country. Because they largely only exist in helmet proselytisers imagination! Year...

Probably true, but the UK cyclists didn't need any selling to, they were willing adopters. At the time of helmets introduction virtually all cycling in the UK was sporting in style, as it still is today, and wearing a helmet fits that image perfectly. By contrast, in The Netherlands where 99%...

Unfortunately the customers had to do some proving for them. The first trouble was the left hand crank falling off. Then that was followed with dirt getting into the unit through inadequate sealing. Noise developing followed through inadequate greasing in manufacture, plus some bearing...

Indeed, I'm tempted to think some even see this as a handy way of repairing a puncture, just take someone's good wheel. .
