    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I've held back from challenging this previously, but I'm sure it's untrue. The views we saw of people celebrating the Brexit vote showed that youngish and middle aged people dominated, with little signs of the older males. The oft repeated shot of the North-East celebration with the youngish...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I don't think the court had any alternative since the referendum was about UK membership of the EU. These regional governing bodies are not involved in UK wide matters, defence for example, only issues that can be separated as functions for them are within their remit. .

    Raleigh Leeds - 26v Panasonic motor

    It's rather risky soldering the shunt though. With the board encapsulated and sealed into the crankcase half there's no access underneath where the shunt is soldered, so care is needed not to damage the shunt connection. Just binding across with wire works, but a careful quick tack of solder...

    Raleigh Leeds - 26v Panasonic motor

    Changing the battery cells won't give any more power since the unit's management controls that. Raising the supply voltage may not do anything either and if too great could cause damage. It is possible to raise power within the unit by reducing the shunt resistance, and that's detailed within...

    That's Cheating!

    I agree Dave, all that's needed for access without problems is simple good manners, respect for others. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think they are smart enough to know that not ruling in favour of parliament having a debate would seriously damage the status of the Supreme Court, inviting widespread contempt. This matter is just too political for them to intervene with anything other than upholding the accepted status quo...

    No value whatsoever, it being clear that he wants more isolation for the USA. .

    That's Cheating!

    In almost all cases canal towpaths have express permission for bicycles from British Waterways. Bicycles are permitted on bridleways by the Countryside Act 1968, and there are a number of Sustrans routes on which there is bicycle permission. But in general bicycles are not permitted on public...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The one I checked also has much cheaper, but those two I quoted have alway been expensive as high end butters from Channel Islands breeds. The usual rule of diminishing returns as one goes up the price range of any product. .

    That's Cheating!

    It won't be cheating, the challenge you're most likely to get on any public footpaths will be from ramblers protesting that you shouldn't be riding on a footpath. That you'll just have to accept and shrug off, since they're in the right. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Perhaps the cheaper butters have risen in price, but the two high end brands I usually buy remain about the same at £1.70, just checked online. Both are British sourced so perhaps the rises are mainly of imported butters, like Anchor (from New Zealand). .

    The government would rather spend well over twice that on being able to create giant potholes anywhere. I mean Trident of course. .

    That's Cheating!

    People can be such idiots. Commenting like that just shows how rude, narrow minded and ignorant they are, unable to see beyond their preconceptions to other legitimate circumstances. .

    And yet another near miss..

    And as well as not riding in darkness or the worst weather, I should have added that my 26 years of retirement has meant only rarely riding in the rush hour either. That really leaves out most of the peak accident times. However my riding from 10 to 54 years old was also completely injury...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Being an agreement with the USA, it'll probably be more like our extradition one with them. They can grab almost anyone they want from us, but when we want an American for a crime, almost no chance. .

    But I don't ride in darkness or the worst weather, so that makes my odds very much better. .
