This is an unashamed attempt to replace the Brexit thread with something more constructive and sensible for the same protagonists. I believe many think The Commonwealth is an outmoded relic of little use to anyone, but if so that is a very big mistake. Consider the facts: It has 53 member...

But the law quite rightly is set to suit the least capable, not the most capable like those roadies. That's why our power cutoff is at 25kph (15.5mph), and even that only courtesy of the EU. Our UK law was once set at just 12 mph before the EU compatibility requirements increased it. .

In its present form, yes. .

Yes I agree it would make more sense. I think the Manchester decision is partly the London reason I gave, but also the politicians trying to be more inclusive about the regions. It's been going on for years, the NEC at Birmingham for example and more recently the BBC's TV centre move to...

The problem is that London has just had the last Olympics with the subsequent celebration, so it might look too London centric having it here again so soon. .

I wish that were completely true, but it often isn't. The rich countries send their athletes to Mexico and Peru for many weeks of high altitude training. The rarified air at high altitudes produces a large increase in their blood's red corpuscle count, greatly increasing the capacity to feed...

As Amps posted, unbelievable! Since when were the two circa £300 Cyclamatics from SportsHQ an opinion? Since when were the two circa £300 - £350 e-bikes from Tesco an opinion? They existed for years, many members bought them and many still own them and have posted about them with photos and...

Not opinions or beliefs. I simply posted the facts and the associated figures of the markets. Those are so overwhelming that they are undeniable. However I'll add this to challenge you. Why are there so few British e-bikers when during the last decade perfectly good e-bikes have been on the...

Fully agree, it's all about money, politics and hubris, another way for politicians to have something to swagger about while also keeping the mass of the people occupied. Those politicians use the olympics to encourage us to participate in activities for exercise and health, including advising...

As I posted just before you on this link, that clearly isn't the case. .

The Netherlands and Germany prove that's not true. There they have always cycled extensively but have also taken to pedelecs in a very big way. In The Netherlands about 1 in 8 bikes sold are pedelecs. Not only that, the pedelecs they buy are at the expensive end, being mainly European makes...

Sadly that was a lost battle many years ago, HR is in so many businesses now that it cannot be avoided by anyone early in their career. .

And these days many engineers are Miss, Mrs or Ms. .

I think the EU principals sense of self preservation will avoid this, as usual in their own self interests of course. For the moment they are hanging on in the hope of a turn around, but when the crunch nears they will be likely to choose the two level euro option. That would enable them to...

Very true, peoples memories are short and so much will have happened meanwhile this issue won't be in their minds. I believe it will last in this increasingly unstable and problematic world. Uncertainty breeds fear and that inclines hanging on to what one has and knows. .

That's correct, the intended recipient will be flagged on the envelope symbol top right next to your name that there's an outstanding message to be read. .

It's a small bird of prey, similar in size to a kestrel. Link .
