    Brexit, for once some facts.

    She does now, completely abandoning her Brexit means Brexit stance. All the indications are that there won't be anything like Brexit, we'll still be in the EU in all but name. Eventually we probably won't be alone in that position, since not all the 26 will join a future US of E, but long...

    EBMA files an anti dumping complaint on chinese e-bikes.

    Exactly as I've been repeatedly forecasting, a sham leave which will gradually dissolve into invisibility. Convenient isn't it that the Great Repeal Bill writes all the existing EU legislation into UK law, just what's wanted if remaining. .

    I wonder how many as received will include the ECJ as the final arbiter? .

    EBMA files an anti dumping complaint on chinese e-bikes.

    Yes, with the transition period only four more years now! The public will be heartily sick of Brexit long before that, most are pretty fed up with it now. .

    Interesting response to a request to head office of Go Outdoors about converting a Calibre Bossnut!

    Of course it would be ok, though a crank drive motor will increase the transmission wear with both your power and the motor's going though it. Otherwise it should be fine. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The demand for all cars has fallen in the UK this year and that 2% reduction in buying German isn't an exception. The fall is said to be due both to people being increasingly in credit debt and the reluctance to buy new diesels. .

    Easy, do it this way: J'ai du mal à vendre des poissons et des chips à une fille de pêcheur basque. :).

    Presta valves

    I find completely the opposite, Schraders much easier to connect instantly, no fiddly little screw cap to unscrew, and no flimsy centre pin to get bent. And there are some screw on Schrader connectors, my Ring automotive pump has one, and fitting a new Schrader valve core is childs play. .

    Not a fact but what Martin Schultz said he wants in this link. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    We have an even quicker and easier way to leave the EU, at the same time killing two birds with one stone. Terminate the UK, which would have these effects: Left as Great Britain we would instantly not be in the EU since only the UK had that membership. Our connection with Ireland would...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Actually Tom he wasn't lying. The existence of the 50 or 60 reports was a Brexit fact, rather like the £350 millions a week that we paid to the EU, and the Brexit fact that the NHS would get that money the moment we left. Now in the 21st century we are living in a virtual world where reality...

    Presta valves

    Yes me, I've always drilled rims and fitted Schrader tubes and that's never caused any bother with any rim type. Prestas were a stupidly unnecessary invention, or should at least have been confined to the sport areas where every gram seems to matter. .

    16 mph Scooter on hotUKdeals £203

    If they can propel the scooter efficiently when not powered, treadles of various kinds are legally pedals for an EAPC. Even handcycles are ok, feet don't have to be involved. .

    16 mph Scooter on hotUKdeals £203

    Not legally for an EAPC, read my post before yours, the pedals must be capable of propelling the vehicle. Clearly that means the scooter's pedals, not a foot against the ground which doesn't involve any scooter part. .

    Speed Pedelecs, Toys for White Boys!

    This was said at an LEV conference: Burkhard Stork, director of ADFC, the EU’s largest cyclists’ association, stated with a great deal of verve: “Speed pedelecs are toys for white boys, not a means of transport for commuting. They do not add anything to sustainable transport.” This weird view...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    If there is a tacit, hidden and almost unspoken agreement by the UK government and the EU to be eventually rid of Brexit, as I suggested in this post, bankers and business would not be a party so would act as if it were proceeding. By the end of a transition period in 2021 or 2022 the picture...

    16 mph Scooter on hotUKdeals £203

    I'm afraid not, this extract from the EAPC requirements shows why: It is also illegal to use an EAPC on the road unless certain other systems are in efficient working order. The pedals must be capable of propelling it. This rules out scooters. .
