Well it has to be circumstance related and not age related action, she's 60 and will be 61 soon. .

It's probably an American or American styled youngsters bike. Youngsters in the USA often like bicycles to have motorcycle features such as dummy petrol tanks, large headlights etc. The quite full chainguard is typical too. Some minor US makers have had them in their standard bicycle ranges...

A bit risky though, a high proportion of males seen by a vet end up gelded. :( .

It's a mixed bag, some things the NHS continue to do well, but there are others they do very badly and have been doing badly for a long time. The things they are doing badly appear to be due to economising, if my own experiences of the last twenty-one years is anything to go by, and in one of...

Seconded, and with those initials he may indeed work miracles. .

Indeed, the world is full of wannabees, but few are in a position to express their nature. Rees Mogg for example was born into wealth and Eton educated on how to inflict himself upon an unsuspecting population Other potential Rees Moggs don't have families that owned coal mines, more likely...

Simple answer, it's not down to genetics, it's upbringing, environment and experience that produces the individual. .

The poll is too restrictive. I changed one major thing not listed on my first pedelec. I changed "all the above and more" on my third pedelec, but the poll is restricted to first pedelec. So no entries from me. .

Here's the explanation of the different Marathon Plus tyres: d8veh has spoken of using this one, which can lack grip. You have this one which has a deeper tread. Currently unavailable. There is also this one with even more tread. .

There's information on the pawl problem from some owners in the posts on and following this link. That's not the only possibility on yours, but it seems similar. . .

From what you posted about the pedals just going round without drive, it sounds like the pawl assembly again. The Impulse units have suffered this problem, we've had threads about it with photos. .

I used to ride much further unpowered than powered. There were a few later occasions when I e-biked with three batteries to what I'd routinely do unpowered, but that was a rarity. In truth I always preferred unpowered. I only first switched to powered for heavy trailer pulling in my older...

I think from what 50cycles have said previously, the number after the decimal point is the software version, rather than any change to the hardware. .

The legal position is a bit vague. An e-bike created by conversion can legally have a throttle, but a new e-bike bought since January 1st 2016 cannot have one. The question is, does your adding a throttle make the bike a conversion. The DfT have said that throttles are not banned on an...

Reminds me of the cold war nuclear fears advice from the Home Office. To protect against blindness cause by the intense brilliance of the nuclear explosion flash, they advised we should have a stout brown paper bag to hand that could be placed over one's head. No realisation of the fact that...

They make you chuckle, but at least that's better than the lot who really are in charge, who are on the verge of bringing us to tears. .

Pre any school and seeing my older brother going to school, I just wanted to do the same. But once I found out what school was like I hated it and wanted to escape out to work. But once I got there it was no better, so at 16 I decided I'd retire early and meanwhile have breaks from work...

We were all winners as a result of joining the EU, our non-stop 25 year decline after WW2 was halted and in some cases reversed. In addition the EU and its courts greatly improved the lives of many ordinary people as a result of its guidance and legal rulings. There's much more to life than...

Probably true, many programs on radio and tv are there to fill a program time slot at the lowest possible cost. .

OK, ------ World is in state its in, we,ve got Brexit, general election, kids being blown up and Manchester winning Europa League. But I'm sure the ducks don't give damn about any of those, and it's their world too. .
