31 millions, almost half the country and nearly double those who voted to leave, took no voting action in the referendum. One can fairly assume they had no interest in changing the status quo. That's what the analysis exposes. .

73% of the country don't want out or have no interest in voting to leave. That is a clear very large majority opposed to leaving, since taking no action is opting for the status quo, i.e. membership continuing. That was the true referendum result .

A first for such a prosecution, following the police refusing to prosecute the driver, despite her running into the back of the well lit cyclist in a wide, straight, well lit section of street. Link .

At one time our Postal service had plans to buy 16,000 e-bikes, but a thorough investigation showed clearly that wasn't the best option. What ours settled on was a mixed arrangement depending on areas and needs, and in some zones it's vans. Even they are not all used to the same pattern, it's...

We have a pedelecs members map Jay, but only those who volunteer to be on it are present. At the moment there's three in total, all south of Belfast and not too far from Strangford Lough, but I haven't seen them active in here for a while. Here's the map link Hopefully some more will step...

But all those figures depend on sunshine, and some years that's a rare commodity in the UK, especially in some regions. All too often we wake up to dull overcast skies, day after day seemingly for weeks. Also a major use for e-bikes is commuting, done at the beginning and end of the day. So...

Yes, there's been many attempts and a few actually used. Best in Australia of course, with California a good alternative. Not so good in an average UK year. :( .

I first heard similar from a news correspondent, then it was repeated by Sir Michael Fallon and then finally by Michael Howard On the way it gradually escalated from "pledge to protect" all the way to "go to war". So rather like the Iraq false weapons of mass destruction story, Chinese...

Yes, a number of members have used this company and have had plenty of praise for their service. .

Many thanks for the fulsome review 2lazy. We get lots of reviews in the first week of ownership, but it's those like yours after a lot of riding which are the most valuable, giving a true assessment of the worth of a bike. .

Steel frame and forks are far better for conversion. It's alloy forks that are sometimes too frail for a front wheel motor. Make sure you fit and anti-torque arm as well if there isn't one in the kit, these prevent the motor core and spindle rotating in the fork. .

Almost certainly! We've had a few of these recharge-while-cycling threads in here and have often been "informed" that technical advances will make it possible before long. I call it subservient physics. :D .

That would be very dangerous Zlatan. After powering the motor, the surplus of current from the dynamo would have nowhere to go and would heat up the system and destroy it. It's possibly why we haven't achieved perpetual motion yet, the self-destructiveness of closed loop generating and use...

And it's a shambles with widespread appalling levels of extreme poverty and hopelessness, highlighted by Donald Trump in his campaign. They are no example to hold up against the EU. .

They had help from the beginning, but abused it. For example Greece, finding it could borrow money to assist their growth went ahead with huge borrowings and spent all of it on far more arms than they needed. That included four of the latest submarines which defence experts agree Greece has...

Otherwise buy the off the shelf correct battery from Cyclezee. They are vastly improved over the original ones and available in a range of capacities. Seems like the cheapest one will suit you, costing little more than a substitute or recell, and it's larger capacity than the original. .

That's their own fault, it's what they are doing, corruption and mismanagement and nothing to do with the EU. Indeed the EU disapprove of their behaviour, which is why they've got tougher on them. .

Self imposed suffering due to the corruption and wilfully poor governance of those countries. I'm pleased that they are not subsidising them out of their mess, since that would be squandering the money we pay in. The EU is sensibly presenting a logical choice to those countries, reform or...

What a strange comparison? The EU fiercely protects citizens rights through law and courts to such a degree that it annoys abusive governments like our own. It protects the right of complete freedom of movement. It introduced bank deposit guarantees so our money in banks at levels that...

No, although I live on the southern country fringe of the Borough of Croydon, I try never to go into central Croydon, always bypass it. Central Croydon is such a dump I dislike it intensely. Last time I needed to go there for a specific reason was Friday 2nd October 2009, showing how much I...
