    How on earth does he get away with this?

    That's a popular sentiment in this forum, and indeed among British e-bikers. It isn't shared elsewhere though, and that's the problem. There's a widespread consensus about the 25 kph (15.6mph) e-bike assist limit, mainland Europe, China, Australia, Japan and others having adopted it. That...

    Choosing a bike for a tall guy (over 6')

    Blimey! I'd heard talk of boundary changes, but Epsom shifted into Oxfordshire seems a bit extreme. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Not a good guide though, FTSE 100 in particular is multi-national dominated and not regarded as an indicator for the UK economy. Multi-nationals will be unaffected by our choice, for them it's swings and roundabouts. Make money here or make money there, it's all the same to them. .

    But wholly part of the normal name, so more properly an adjectival noun. .

    Not in script, that uses punctuation marks, far too difficult for today's yoof. .

    Yes, that title could be changed to bike mobile mechanic, but simpler to use a hyphen which would have made all the difference. For example: Mobile bike-mechanic Coupling the latter two words would make clear the mobility was that of the bike mechanic. .

    Yes it would, noun not verb. A parked mobile crane is still a mobile crane, mobile being part of its name, not its action. .

    I wouldn't expect him to, being a mobile bike mechanic means he's a mechanic of mobile bikes. One who comes to you would be called a bike mobile mechanic.:) .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    True enough. Sadly I think thats what will probably happen though, so many of the electorate still blaming the EU for everything as the Brexit vote showed. After dumping Theresa May, the tories will present Boris Johnson as their leader, knowing how much the public irrationally like him, and...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That's for sure. I have much sympathy with your view, I was strongly opposed to the enlargement of the EU by inclusion of the ex Warsaw Pact countries. It would have been more sensible to pursue the one nation objective with fewer members first. But none of this is related to how well we will...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Really only the motor industry, but I didn't forget, they are still trying hard, Southern Rail and LU for example. But outside the EU we let them, since then we haven't. We've got tougher where it's necessary, and also learnt from competing companies. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That's the bit I'd dispute. Between the end of WW2 and the late 1970s, we lost all of our industries, bicycle, motorcycle, car, bus and truck, ship building, with our remaining aircraft companies on their way to failure. Having demolished industry, we then started to lose commerce, for example...
