Indeed. With all the information about each one of us that is being gathered all the time, once we all have small payment systems based on our personal phones or cards, the newspaper we buy online could have our own point of view on the front page at least. .

Ignore the tube Adam, what does it say on the side of the tyre? It will have something like 700 x 35. Basically you have a 27" wheel, even though sometimes called 28" or even 29. The second number is the tyre width. The valve types are illustrated below, but it sounds as though you have...

Yes, isn't it sad that the House of Commons cannot debate Brexit in the civilised and polite way that we do in here. ;) .

And it's what we do in London too, though with a far greater area to deal with than their cities. For nearly two decades we've spent between £24 million and £56 million a year on London cycling. That's significant, helping to produce the huge growth in London's cycling. However we do have far...

Not really as politically difficult as it might seem, since all three main parties and the Greens share a common policy. The London Congestion Charge was introduced by Labour, the pollution zone charges by Tories and their London public transport policies have largely merged over time. And...

You're in Ashley, riding on Fishponds Road: Map Link .

You seem obsessed with this non-problem, ignoring what is being done that is already reducing the problem. And once again a reminder, the subject in my thread is London Air Pollution and its pollution hotspots. It would help if you confined to that and not introduce your own pet subjects...

I'm the only editor now since the other two left the forum long ago, and I've had no chance to look for ancient slips like that. Thanks for pointing it out though, kevelecs second location is now back on dry land where it should be. However kevelec hasn't posted since July 2010 so may no...

That isn't the problem you imagine it to be, it's scarcely contributing to it. Also it's up to those other cities to introduce controls, instead of being like Manchester, moaning like hell about their traffic problem but refusing to introduce a congestion charge when they had the chance. They...

Fortunately the government isn't listening to you, instead taking sensible actions, albeit not enough of them. .

It's in confined pockets that the severe pollution problems exist, often made worse by large and tall buildings creating canyons like the Euston Road and Oxford Street. They are the hotspots I've been posting about and which can't be cured by dealing with trucks. Cars, taxis, vans and buses...

I'm sure the Green Flag company would disagree. .

This isn't the issue under discussion. I've simply contended that the easiest way to deal with the polution problem everywhere it is a problem, not just London, is to deal with the huge number of cars (over 25 million) rather than concentrate on the under 300 thousand trucks over 7.5 tonnes...

Here is the link to the original post where answers have already started. .

Yes I know Spain is a cycling nation, but both BH and Orbea were very late into e-bikes, Orbea especially just buying in Dutch e-bikes and rebadging them for a while. Orbea themselves say the Gain model has light assistance and say this "Gain was designed to enhance your ride, not dominate...

And my forecast of failure yet again is already being supported. While the West has been splashing the meeting and outcome all over the news, North Korean TV news has made no mention of it at all. Clearly keeping their people in the dark about an agreement reached will avoid any embarrassment...

This time will be no different. There is no way North Korea will agree to give up nuclear arms, so any tentative agreement reached will be broken again with recriminations and worsening relations. They have an ally of sorts in China and China has a vested interest in disrupting US power and...

The worry for me is the integrated battery. Like all batteries it has a finite life and I'd be concerned about its availability. There's only a tiny market for this kind of low power assist e-bike and Orbea is a Spanish company. This isn't a small risk since it's happened before. One in...

I think for most voters 2 to the power of 10 nearer the mark! .

Of course one should tackle all sources of pollution and I've never posted otherwise. All I'm stressing is that the great majority of the road vehicle pollution that's causing the real problem comes from the huge number of cars and that, as I've shown, they are the easiest to deal with to get...
