this comment comes from a reader of Bloomberg: However much extra time you give May, it won't make the slightest difference. It's obvious that procrastination is in her nature and that her judgement is questionable. Add to that the traditionally secretive system of government in Britain and it...

he's an ignoramus. Without joining the SM, we can't sell car parts made in the UK to the EU and cars made in the UK cannot be sold to the USA with the lower 2.5% import duty. Our car business is going to be disintegrated within a couple of years. The problem is there are a lot of voters who are...

George Orwell: “Every nationalist is capable of the most flagrant dishonesty, but he is also — since he is conscious of serving something bigger than himself — unshakably certain of being in the right.” https://lithub.com/what-george-orwell-wrote-about-the-dangers-of-nationalism/

Good luck, TM! Jaguar Land Rover boss, Ralf Speth: "A bad Brexit deal would cost Jaguar Land Rover more than £1.2bn profit each year. As a result, we would have to drastically adjust our spending profile – we have spent around £50bn in the UK in the past five years, with plans for a further...

Hello Vikki, I would say that the Crusa is surprisingly light despite its size, its frame size is 19", most of our bikes are 18". Overall dimensions: 195cm long, 105cm height, 68cm handlebars width Wheel base: 120cm Weight: 24kgs with battery, 21kgs without. The Crusa is easy to lift up to the...

sounds like needing some grease on the nylon gears. how many miles have you done so far?

yes. you need 3-core unshielded cables 20AWG or 22AWG.

that is only partially true. Not all crank drives produce instant start, otherwise they may accidentally start when you lean on the pedal. Similarly, the cadence bikes are much quicker now with starting, requiring less than a quarter turn to start assisting. the law requires that you have to...

that does not change anything. Banks going under because of risky gambling, not because they don't know how to make money out of chaos. If they pay savers at 1% and lend to home owners at 3%, they are going to make money. If they manage people's money, they are going to make money.

give us some examples. You have retail banking, corporate banking, clearing and 'investment' banking (aka the biggest casino in London). Which one(s) went bankrupt?

the word 'derestricted' will automatically make any trader on this forum run a mile from offering you their bikes because it is simply not supported by any of them, me included. Your best route is a conversion of a good bike, preferably with a rear geared hub motor like my XF08C kit or a BBS01B...

banks will always make money, like loto operators, whatever the weather or political situation. The only time they fail is when the put idiots at the helm (eg RBS).

I don't think that the bankers are that worried. My son works in the City. I asked him before the referendum if banks did any preparation, the answer is 'not much'. They are more worried about the stress tests than brexit. The situation has not changed much.

checkmate this weekend against the hard brexiters? TM's third strategy is to participate in the SM for goods and not services, like Switzerland really. If this strategy is adopted, there won't be celebration for the importers who bankrolled the brexit campaign.

Hill start is a difficult situation that you may find yourself in if you are in the wrong gear. most bikes need a little bit of forward pedaling, about a quarter to half a crank revolution, to start the motor assist. It is harder to start pedaling when you are on a hill, a hub gear is very...

Barclays employ 130,000 people. Moving 50 people is not a big event for them.

JRM, you are a true tory.

none. there are winners and losers. Presumably, if we end up on WTO, the winners are importers like British Sugars and the losers are exporters like Nissan and Airbus. The banks don't care that much, they'll figure out how to make money from any chaos.

I don't think you need to up your budget. Perhaps you should look for bikes with cadence sensor instead of torque sensor like the Captus and Motus. A bike with torque sensor delivers power proportionally to your pedaling, the harder and faster you pedal, the more assist power you get. That's...

I will of course sell the whole bike as a principal business line and I have to import extra parts for in and out of warranty service work any way, so it's an additional line supplying 2/3 of the bike to those who want better shocks, brakes, bars and wheels. I hope also to recruit friendly bike...
