    not necessarily. French, Nordic, Belgian films have been regularly showed on the BBC with great success. Dubbing into English does not reduce their appeal.

    serious Commute -is it even possible

    I think the forum is evenly divided on which is better. Crank drive is like an engine fitted with a manual gearbox, you can select the best gear to suit so eke out a little more performance. Overall battery consumption is much more a factor of speed than the type of motor.

    serious Commute -is it even possible

    that figure is nominal, the guaranteed power that the motor won't overheat. If you ride on a flat road at 15mph without much headwind, the energy required is about 200W, if you pedal a bit, say you contribute 70W through pedaling, the motor would supply about 130W. There is no way you would need...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the problem with the railways and water is not so much of ownership but privatisation has resulted in two hugely fragmented networks without much of a way for government to invest in localities that need urgent remedial work. If you nationalise the railways and water companies through a PLC...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    by frustrating TM's effort, the EU will make the argument for a second referendum stronger. Hard brexiters know that they are unlikely to win in a second referendum, regardless of which question(s) will be asked. Their only other choice is a general election where parties will fight on their...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the EU is looking for ways of taxing huge US corporations like amazon, google etc. UK after brexit is more likely to offer them a tax haven. That's why the EU wants to lock the UK into the SM or not at all. JC's idea of re-nationalising public infrastructure is via shares in a public fund...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I would have thought that the EU fears one of the hard brexiters more. JC wants a soft brexit rather than reversing brexit. JC does not oppose FOM.

    Raleigh Motus Grand Tour V Gazelle Ultimate T10

    stop worrying about hills at your weight. any e-bike, even those cheap bikes that you find in French supermarkets for 700 euros or TV shopping channels will flatten them. Both of the bikes above are overpriced especially the Gazelle.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    think of the transition period like a vaccination. the body will be more able to deal with future challenges. You'd want to stay in transition until we get back to 1975 margin.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    brexit has not yet happened (and may still not happen) and I think people who voted for it may have seen some return: 1. quick reduction of EU migration. 2. house prices more stable, people can afford mortgages on lower middle income. 3. much better understanding of our relationship with...

    Kudos Secret vs Kudos K16

    there is not much weight difference in weight between the K16 and the Woosh Gallego, despite what the manufacturers claim. Both have similar frame and components. I can take the Gallego up one flight but know I would not want to take the Gallego up 3 flights of stairs everyday but I am an old man.
