    Bob was one of the greats, sadly missed. .

    Aldi bikes - none in the UK yet

    From Wikipedia :D: "There are reports of young men using Preparation H with phenylephrine HCL before bodybuilding events or even before going into a nightclub, for spot treatment to get a more 'ripped' or toned look." Link to article .

    Drivers caught out by new tax rules

    Yes, this is a really big problem and a large proportion of drivers have no idea of their change. A week ago a DVLA licensing hoist truck was busy in my estate taking away cars, no doubt for this reason. It's all rather unfair since there was no national warning of the change via news media on...

    More kit help required

    With June so close I'd hang on for that better battery Woosh option. .

    Aldi bikes - none in the UK yet

    Thanks for trying Shemozzle999. I suppose the responses were to be expected and typically the RAC make a better attempt to be helpful than the AA. .

    But it carries weight for customers weighing up value. ;) .

    Bike Cameras. The Negatives and Positives of using them

    Certainly it's true that we all have a capacity to behave very badly if the circumstances drive us that way, and that of course includes those who fail to keep control behind the wheel. In my experience few behave that way walking on pavements, and that's what I mean by them mostly being good...

    Need a light electric bike for below £1000

    No, the Ansmann warranty is operated by their UK agents Cyclezee, but a return would have to be to their base at Milton Keynes. That's unlikely to be necessary though, there are few problems and most can be sorted either through a local bike shop with e-bike experience, or with help from this...

    Need a light electric bike for below £1000

    You won't get the top quality cycle components in that price bracket, but they can be adequate for the purpose. Try checking out the Woosh range and the Kudos range. Also some of the eZee range from Cyclezee are only just above your budget with one below, and they have some above average...

    Bike Cameras. The Negatives and Positives of using them

    I agree with much of what you've said, but cannot understand why you are misconstruing what I've posted as in any way excusing bad driving. I haven't in any way justified road rage or bad driving, just given reasons why it can occur with some drivers. I also strongly resent any association...

    Battery capacity required?

    For many people including me, the 11.5 Ah could be marginal for covering 45 miles, even in fairly easy conditions. Much depends on what you mean by light assistance of course. It's also worth bearing in mind that capacity declines with battery age, so I'd recommend the 14.5 Ah option to also...

    Cow

    :D. In fact they were Holsteins, not normally fast movers but this was after morning milking when they were intent on grazing and apparently weren't going to put up with any interruptions. They can all shift fast when they want to, even the heaviest beef breeds. .

    Bike Cameras. The Negatives and Positives of using them

    Actually I have lost one relative and also had two biker friends end up in wheelchairs, so I'm not lacking in sympathy for them too. But you seem to have been rather selective and read something I haven't posted. I did after all say I wasn't arguing for any difference in the treatment of...

    Bike Cameras. The Negatives and Positives of using them

    Yes, I'm not arguing for any difference in treatment, just for understanding. A professional drivers life in our cities is one of suffering frequent aggravation, and there's only so much someone can stand before they finally crack. Someone earlier in this thread accused me of doing nothing for...
