I think you misunderstand me. I meant it's as much my business in the sense that I'm entitled to a democratic opinion too. But of course that doesn't gainsay your opinion in any way which I respect your right to have. Nor does it entitle me to insult you for having an opinion I disagree with...

Because democracy makes it as much my business as yours. It's what our voting means, getting all of our opinions. .

Thanks Zlatan, I've always been honest in declaring my belief in the EU target of full integration into a country called Europe. However you are making a mistake in your objections to such as Junckers, EU commission etc. They are the interim drivers towards the target, people with the same...

That's the sort of short term problem I know exists, but as I said, time will provide the solutions and healing. I've provided examples. You know the old saying, one must break eggs to make an omelette. Not so, we know time solves problems, so there's nothing experimental about that, and the...

I didn't address it because the answer is so well known. Ever since the Treaty of Maastricht the course of the EU towards being a single country has been set. It follows that all the elements of being a single country are aimed for, which must include complete freedom of internal movement and...

But this simply isn't true, free movement coupled to freedom of trade has been working, you just haven't been looking for the evidence. Here's some examples: External manufacturers like VW, Fiat, Suzuki et al have set up manufacturing plants in several eastern European countries, bringing them...

Make it three. The nearest I get to alcohol is some supermarket brandy-rich mince pies at Christmas. .

Not just rule 3 Zlatan, a number of the rules are routinely ignored. The one about traders not promoting their wares for example! Fortunately Russell Scott who started and runs the site has a very tolerant approach to admin, preferring a light touch. So that's the site's character. Not...

Well it is an electric bike site and forum, so presumably that's what you joined for. But this section is entitled "The Charging Post", with this sub heading: "A place to recharge your batteries, meet new friends and talk about things not specifically related to electric bikes." Any subjects...

There just hasn't been the evidence to forecast with confidence since the 2008 recession, and the Brexit uncertainty now makes the position even more impossible. It follows that none of them are forecasts, they are beliefs, in some cases based in part on very limited comparable experience. .

In worth they're certainly heading that way! :( .

Agreed. The day I know sales offers can be genuine is the day the banks join in with: "£10 notes, 50% off". .

That's exactly what I believe will ultimately happen. If so, the sum total of our achievement will be to have lost the rebate we've been enjoying for two decades. .

Marie Le Pen. Le Pen is possible but unlikely, but the others are overreading their situations. Much depends on whether Le Pen does get elected. If she does, that's probably the EU torn apart. Some knowledgeable commentators believe her election would mean the complete end of the EU, but I...

I'd reword that regarding these "huge leaps": They never come to fruition. .

Schwalbe Big Apple tyres will add a very effective suspension element to the bike: Link .

It's similar to the way an image can be burnt into a CRT TV or monitor screen and the reason for moving screen savers. Focussing on the pinpoint of the red dot keeps the image into identical eye elements so they have their part of the image briefly fixed until recovery. Looking at a variegated...

Their view is far too simplistic and carefully misses out the con of high transmission wear when all the rider and motor effort goes through it. Many CD users suffer short sprocket and chain lives. And their idea that hub motors are only a cheap bike option is wrong, there are a number of...

Having had good service from eZee bikes, first choice the eZee kit. It's one of the most powerful internally geared single speed hubs. Kits using the BPM and CST motors are about equal to the eZee one, I believe Woosh do those. On the economy issue, the use of torque sensors by the crank...

If legal pedelecs had a wide speed range there could be more truth in that, but since they only cover a speed range of about 5 to 15 mph and electric motor low end torque is so strong, so many gears are far too many for the motor. Two at most would be sufficient for that 10 mph speed span, and...
