This failed attempt to correct me was pathetic, acknowledginging as it does the meaning of Great Britain in terms of the inclusion of Scotland. Ptolemy's meaning was also in terms of size, not status, and completely irrelevant in terms of our own usage. .

I've long since lost count of the number of times I've corrected this delusion, and for me the error represents the falsities of the Leaver position. The word Great was added to Britain to reflect the enlarged area of the country when Scotland joined into union with Britain (England and Wales)...

I don't think it a joke. A side mirror alone is sometimes not enough, a cyclist can pop out from just behind a car in the moment of opening a door wide, especially if the cyclist is fast moving as seems the common British custom now. That slightly opened door can also warn a cyclist in that...

And until or if ever pedestrians reach that level of skills, we just carry on killing them? That is totally unacceptable. Until they do reach that level of skills we should be accommodating them by travelling at safe speeds when close. .

Pushbikes haven't changed at all in this respect, they could just as easily do 20 mph then. And our power assisted bikes back then which had small petrol auxiliary motors were potentially much faster than today's e-bikes, 20 mph plus. What has changed is common riding speed, and it's a British...

Yes, I've filed out slightly less meaty ones than those. Go carefully and only take out the half millimetre each side. plus a tiny bit from the top to maintain the curve there. .

As ever, anything but face the fact that doubling the speed greatly increases both the incidence of cycling accidents and their consequences. .

The cause of the accidents is a red herring, I haven't claimed that of course, speed was the cause of the deaths. That's why The Netherlands with the highest rate of cycling in the world and invariably riding without helmets has the lowest rate of cycling accidents and deaths. They...

I know this will fall on deaf ears in Britain, but it's worth saying anyway. Once again we have someone belting along on a bike at over 20 mph, in this cyclists case 24 mph, and he got killed. I've long since lost count of the number of forum members reporting or showing videos about their...

Best wishes for your new venture. .

Never mind. In the near future the BBC's Radio Four 1pm news will be interviewing Jeremy Corbyn about the situation in Yemen. Why? I haven't a clue, someone must have thought it would be a good idea. Perhaps he'll know how to run Yemen. .

Throttles can operate independently from a standstill, but only up to 4 mph (6 kph EU). That corresponds to the law on walk-along powered vehicles like pavement vans etc. .

Do you really think he could work out the hidden meaning in 42? It is after all metric, and he might possibly be having one of his anti-EU "I voted to remain" days. They're like that at the North Pole, it's the cold freezing the brain y'know. .

And this is why Northern Ireland doesn't have a sitting Assembly. .

If you look on our Pedelecs members map, you'll see there are two Norwegian members even further north. .

That's not the problem, the NHM forum has NHM experts as well as volunteers. Google can lead to numerous excellent expert articles on the most obscure of creatures. The problem is reaching that information, Google's algorithm commonly failing to perform. Being US centric doesn't help...

It does, heard of Skoda and Seat? Both are VW companies set up in the Czech Republic and Spain with the training from Germany. VW have also set up plants in Poland and Hungary, training their people. And it's not just the motor industry, some domestic electricals and other industries have...

I don't use expert or the higher level term that the NHM rate me at. I'm just a helper answering questions, taking pleasure from helping others. Nothing could be further from the truth. We freely spread the knowledge and get pleasure from sometimes seeing others reach an ability to help...
