    Dangerous driver

    Sorry to learn you were targetted by one of these anti-bicycle morons. Hopefully the police will visit him and issue a stern warning. .

    Electric bikes for 14 year old boy

    These lads are happy enough on this e-bike. They're Dutch of course, far too sensible to be obsessed with fashion:

    It affects the law

    Yes, I'd heard about that Dutch problem. I think they brought it on themselves by the foolishness of allowing 45 kph mopeds to use cyclepaths. They simply don't mix with bicycle speeds, especially in the Netherlands where cycling speeds are often leisurely. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I agree it's one of the biggest and possibly the biggest issue influencing votes Tillson. But unfortunately, when I've seen people in the street being questioned about where they stand on this, it's often abundantly clear that they just don't like foreigners in "our" country or "my" town. To...

    Surprise!

    It always amazes me that some cycling commuters in London ride with earphones, listening to music. It cuts them off from the sound that is an essential dimension in coping with traffic. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    In London it's very different, in that we have a very high number of EU immigrants. Since the French overseas still get to vote in their domestic elections, the high number of French here prompted their politicians to campaign here, exposing London as electorally the fifth biggest city in...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    True, but I'm unconcerned since we will cope as we've always done. London has hundreds of years of success and has reinvented itself many times. London now is totally different than the one I was born in, just as successful but in very different ways. And socially very different too, in my...

    It affects the law

    The term is now used to describe the limited to 30 mph scooter class, it was the DfT who first did this and it's stuck since, though incorrect of course. Of course even the old usage of moped was a replacement for the original name for a pedal and engine bike, which was Autocycle. That was...

    New chain Krieger

    Yes, KMC don't offer the higher number of links in derailleur chains for some odd reason. The one Trex linked to was for single speed or hub gear bikes. .

    The Best Mobile Telephone Ever Made for only £9.10

    I just don't have a use for one. The last thing I'd want is to get phone calls while I'm out, and internet connectivity can wait until I'm back indoors in front of a more sensible screen size. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    So what, why resent their good luck? If we took their entire incomes with expenses for a year and then divided it up among all 500 millions in the EU, what would each of us get? Pennies? This is the sort of complaint against the EU that has no value, I'm all in favour of people getting good...

    New chain Krieger

    As you can see from the KMC link I posted, that was a big upgrade, it's KMC's best 8 speed chain. .

    New chain Krieger

    KMC would be good again, but you can choose a higher quality. The link below shows the suitable 8 speed chains for the Krieger, listed best at the top. They are sold though local retailers of course, or also from Wiggle online. KMC 8 speed chains .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    We in London aren't worried Derf, we're not just in the EU. With well under half of our population being white British born and all 300 of the world's main languages spoken by all the nations living and working here, we are already in the Greater World. And we like it and have no intention of...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It's said that the worst outcome is a very close vote either way, but there's an even worse one that could cause ructions. That is a vote to leave so close that the government refuses to act upon it, such as a difference being in single thousands. For example, 5000 votes is only 0.01% of the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Not quite, it's the centre and the fringes that will be seen to have a majority vote to remain: London Scotland Wales Northern Ireland The national outcome mainly depends on the balance in the rest of England outside of London. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The polls are likely to be very wrong, whichever way they've been pointing. Frankly the whole campaign and everything said about it has been a huge waste of everyone's time. I've stopped listening to the debates on the subject and will listen to no more, since they haven't at any time been...

    Urgent help needed newbie ezee quando

    There is a very real risk that the bike has faults, the controller may have failed for example. The built in lights on these can suffer cables burnt out by an accidental short, I know because I did that once on a Quando. Ideally it would be best to try a battery from another Ezee bike owner to...

    Urgent help needed newbie ezee quando

    The Quando's battery is almost certainly dud, it should show 41 volts fully charged and on the bike will cut out as empty at 32 volts. .
