    Brexit, for once some facts.

    What a strange view, this doesn't logically follow at all. The vote isn't in any way a part of human development and not about political comprehension, just factual comprehension. You really are not getting it, it's not about compatibility with the elite, rather the opposite. Ignorance suits...

    Yes it's definitely road legal, fitting in with all the pedelec restrictions. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I can only conclude you've misread what I posted, since my proposal was more democratic than our present system which permits highly unpopular policies. What I proposed did not deny anyone a free vote. All they had to do was understand issues relating to the policy question, but would then be...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Yes. Long ago I detailed an alternative governmental and voting system in this forum, you'll find it detailed within this post. .

    Threat to bam cycling on A63.

    Trouble is the appalling state of some of the cycle paths alongside A and major B roads. Broken surfaces, strewn with cut thorn and broken glass, even an MTB with Marathon Plus tyres would suffer and the roadies wouldn't stand a chance on their skinny tyres. One of these not far from me...

    Yes, Neptune and others in the vaping thread raised the same point, calling for less insinuations about e-cigarette use and more attention to regulating the fluids where the possible danger could be. .

    Indeed, one young guy walking past my home yesterday puffed on his and produced a very good imitation of a cumulus cloud. Looked really weird. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Steady on, time for a smile. Just heard the minister in charge of DEXEU, the Leave ministry, telling us of a letter he received. It congratulated him on his appointment in charge of the department for exciting the EU. :D Judging from some of the frustrated remarks from EU officials, perhaps...

    A random thread for things too unimportant for their own thread...

    We say our bikes are electric powered, but with so many vapers in our ranks puffing their way along, the public could be forgiven for thinking they are steam powered. :D As above, the noun commonly used is vapers. .

    Are you kidding? 101 pages of them on this link, the second longest thread ever in this forum. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    We've made the case, but as ever it's pointless when the Brexiters are too ignorant and stupid to understand the consequences of ridding themselves of those taxes, regulations and rights protection of the European courts. And too ignorant to understand that these taxes are trifling amounts...

    Dutch cycle testing

    We do have cycle training for last year primary kids in our London borough, but it's a single session only for volunteers. About a dozen take part in my estate, out of the near 100 who could. As ever these days, most parents won't allow their kids to cycle at all on the grounds that it's too...

    ZYCLE ebike on Indiegogo

    Hi Rob, long time since you were in last in here. The Zycle is certainly a very good price and seems ok from the video, but we have no knowledge of it here. I don't think it will be quite as powerful as your Quando was, but so long as you don't have any very steep hills that shouldn't matter. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    And it's no surprise that this is his view, considering the mess it's made of his personal ambitions. Like the rest of the establishment he felt certain Remain would win the referendum, leaving him well poised to be Cameron's rival for PM and a popular choice with the public. But that all...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Cathedral City cheddar entered the French market over ten years ago and sells around a quarter of a million packets every year. Sales in France are up steadily 5% year on year. Another British cheddar brand, Wyke Farms from Somerset, the UK's largest independent cheese producer and milk...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    They probably already are, they've gained a taste for British mature cheddars. They are now an important export market for main brands such as Cathedral City, stocked in the major French supermarkets. They'd only have take 0.84% of our cheddar exports to pass that 1000 tonnes. .

    Wireless battery charging for e-Bikes

    Just like the charge socket on the Lafree, that had exactly the same two problems, while it's drive power was supplied through two simple metal pads. The chumps could just have easily made the charge connection as reliable as the drive power one. .
