Careful. Some in here might want you banned. :D .

Prior to 1995 UK assisted bikes needed registration, number plate, tax disc and holder, insurance, motor cycle driving licence and supposedly a motor cycle helmet. In Guernsey before the second World War, all bicycles had to be registered with a fee. It was a simple system though, call at the...

Luckily there aren't any, only textual abuses. ;) I too would hate to hear them spoken. .

Not the Charging Post, we've already had porn in the Electric Bicycles forum, one example on this link. And we've had plenty of almost naked young women pictured ostensibly promoting an e-bike. .

Very true, and I certainly sympathise with e-bikers in the USA who have to cope with all sorts of legal variations and difficulties we don't have in the UK. Our pedelec law with no high speed class allowed does seem restrictive to some, but it at least clearly distinguishes our e-bikes from...

No I didn't say anything of the sort. I posted about cycling speeds with no mention of e-biking. You didn't post about e-bike speeds on Strava, just about cycling speeds. And as I posted they are averages which means those cyclists (not e-bikers) must be doing far higher speeds on the flat...

Because you choose to endure it. Once again, the thread in question and many others not about e-biking are clearly titled and specifically not in an e-bike forum. So don't look! .

Yes you are, you want your normal. You largely have that in all the e-biking forums in this web site, so I ask once again, why are you looking at the Charging Post threads you don't like? That makes no sense. There are subjects in here I don't like. I don't look at them. .

It's more than an assumption in London where so much of the UK's cycling is. The commuting hordes are often referred to as the peleton and 20 mph and more is a commonplace commuting speed. The Strava data isn't relevant to this since it's all terrain average. It follows that if the Strava...

EAPC and EPAC are identical laws, and without the EU we had a 12 mph assist speed limit and a strict 200 watt limit. The EU rescued us from those. So be careful what you wish for. .

That's not in question, but traffic volume is what sites depend on for income. The greater the volume, the greater the advertising income. But I repeat, these would be censors know no limit, some even pushing hard for anything other than legal 250 watt 15.5 mph pedelec discussion to be banned...

Where does it stop? Someone else has already added religion as unacceptable and some don't want any subject outside e-bikes. Others even demand all posting outside of strictly legal 250 watt, 15.5 mph pedelecs be excluded. Once they all finished the site would be dead, no-one interested in it. .

I did have a peep at that yesterday, but since I stay logged in I didn't bother to use it. .

I still see The Netherlands killing this. They always take a fiercely defensive stance against any EU Commission proposals for extra laws on cycling. For the Dutch cycling and walking amount to the same thing, just simple ways to get from A to B. Since they are the EU's dominant cycling...

As I previously posted, indoctrination doesn't work in a forum where 80% of members are in the second half of life with fully formed minds. I do agree though that calling all Leavers racists is unacceptable. There must be at least one or two who aren't. .

Still counting! I just posted to balance any impression that Tom doesn't post about e-biking or have any interest in it. .

Prior to the1960s in Britain we all cycled at moderate speeds like 12 mph and considered 15 mph as getting a move on. Basically that was because the majority of us cycled for all utility purposes, to work, shopping, visiting etc., just like they still do in places like the Netherlands, Denmark...

Tom has made very many posts about pedelecs over a three year period, and has owned three e-bikes. .

I just changed the password into a new unique one for here. .

I take your point, but the ruling was only one of precedence, not level. In other words the pedals must be both capable of propelling the bike and necessary for power to be applied. It couldn't be ruled any other way, considering this wording of the exemption from being motor vehicles that...
