Yes, but he adopted France like some of my own Italian family, and his cars were all French. With Ferrari, Alfa Romeo, Maserati and Lancia all being Fiat now, city colours can no longer be applied. If the flag walker was reintroduced now, blue would be the correct national one for the Bugatti...

Ettore Bugatti was a Frenchman of course, so it would have to be a blue flag. Red is Italy's race car colour. ;) .

This is well understood, it's because female cyclists are more inclined to obey the rules. At red traffic lights they stop at the white line and don't jump the lights, which places them neatly in the blind spot at the left of a truck cab. If the truck turns left there can be a consequence. In...

Going in the post box tonight, but we only have an afternoon collection so will probably be Friday delivery to you first class. Thank you for the kind donation, my best wishes for Christmas and the New Year to you and yours. .

The missing word is potentially. In other words cycling can be dangerous, but as my record shows, need not be. For me it isn't dangerous at all and in 70 years never has been. There are many who believe as you do, so they don't cycle in London. So there's no problem in their respect and...

Thank you Dave. To be honest it's my involvement in very pleasant wildlife forums like the Natural History Museum that makes the inbetween entries here more tolerable. If I was solely on a pedelecs.co.uk diet, I would probably have become sick long ago! .

All the contributors so far have been blokes, so maybe they do most of the battering. Fits most media reports that it's wives who get battered. :( .

This is the core of the problem. Basically car drivers have been spoilt ever since the abolition of the law requiring a man with a flag walking in front of a car. Of course I'm not advocating that returns, but drawing attention to the way in which progress has always suited the driver most...

Which means there has been a large reduction! What you fail to consider is the huge increase in London cycling over the period. Up until the introduction of the London Congestion Charge in 2003, cycle commuting was very much a small minority activity, I hardly saw bikes in my car commuting...

If you email an address to me I'll pop 1k, 10k and 100k resistors (identified for you) in first class post, no charge of course: ebike@flecc.uk .

On the Panasonic crank drive systems the capacity tester is built into the batteries and has been since 2007, which cost no more than the Bosch batteries and often less. .

When they can't be sure of the cause, French doctors can record cause as sudden death. Here in the UK doctors have to record a cause, so when they are uncertain they tend to specify heart failure. This causes a huge and false imbalance between the two countries death rates from heart failure...

Combined with alcohol maybe? .

Not at that year, I discovered that Dutch government statistic in 2014, but they introduced the S pedelec class about a year later. It was a government in depth investigation of the deaths that exposed the 40% self inflicted deaths, some 80 cyclists a year there. It particularly struck me...

It's partly because we have a fundamentally safer way of approaching our cycling. There's a startling statistic in Dutch cycling which illustrates this: An astonishing 40% of their cycling deaths involve no other person or vehicle. In other words, self-inflicted deaths presumably due to...

I'm sorry to learn that, Trex was a valuable forum member, and I equally respect David Miall both as a trader and forum member. .

Exactly, and another of the reported deaths wasn't actually in London but over the border. Hence it's 9 as I've said. You should apply context when stating any figures. As I've said above, it's 9 deaths in some 128 million cycle commuting journeys this year and goodness knows how many sport...

For the umpteenth time, it is not a death a month now! There's been huge improvements in London as I've pointed out, and that's resulted from all the efforts made which you appear to now nothing about. That is why I'm angry at your assumption that nothing is being done about the situation when...

More bunkum, you clearly know absolutely nothing about the London cycling situation. How can you say "especially" too high in London when London's death rate is so much lower than the rest of the country? And the gender issue is completely the reverse in London, it's female cyclists who...
