If I owned a crank-drive bike I would be offended by your generalisation. Presumably you aren't bothered about offending all those members of the forum who own crank-drive bikes?

Some retired medical people don't care to go down a rabbit hole chasing the origins of the virus. I leave that to far better qualified people than me as I have better uses for my time.

I don't need to research or bother wasting my time on this as from my point of view it's irrelevant whether it was an escaped engineered or free range virus. The effect was the same. The old medical adage is that commonest things are commonest. This is usually quoted to medical students &...

For decades we have known that China is the usual origin for new strains of 'flu. The theory is that pigs, chickens & people all living in close proximity allow new strains to hop between species. It's the same for these other new respiratory viruses. There is no need for dark conspiracies...

OMG Not another bloody conspiracy theory lunatic! That makes at least four of you posting your drivel here.

You don't know me so why assume that I am as fat as you used to be? I don't do intermittent fasting or slow jogging & my BMI is 24.5. I have really gone off cadence sensors. I much prefer the feel of the pedals always having some resistance while pedalling & of course getting a bit of exercise.

Why would you want to change a pedelec from torque to cadence sensing unless you can't be arsed to pedal?

I pity you if you genuinely hold these crackpot ideas.

I want to read his scientific paper when it has been reviewed by climate scientists not an amateur. Even a pre-publication before review would be a start.

I totally agree. This also means that we need to know the identity of users posting on Twitter or Facebook etc. Perhaps some ID check when you create your account? I am sure that the anonymity of social media allows people to be much angrier & provocative than they would be in a normal conversation.

I am sure that there must be people buying a legal bike through the cycle to work scheme then turning it into an illegal bike by hacking the software to increase the top assistance speed. It's apparently very easy to do on some pedelecs.

You know very well it doesn't. Science is conducted via peer reviewed research papers not polemics on YouTube.

I have no interest in the ravings of some loon on YouTube. Please provide a reference to a peer reviewed article confirming this fraud.

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has confirmed that 2024 is the warmest year on record. The reason it's been announced in icy cold weather is that it's now January 2025 & we had to wait until all the data for 2024 was available. Do you think that should have waited until July before...

Apparently the LA wildfires were caused by a “direct energy weapon” attack designed to erode humanity and implement “15-minute cities”. The intent of such attacks is to erode national identities and eventually form a one-world government by destroying people’s livelihoods.

Christ! You really are down the rabbit hole aren't you?

Got what wrong? The only view I've ever expressed regarding Hunter Biden's laptop is that I don't give a toss. You are the one with the obsession.

Still believing all those crazy conspiracy theories I see. The story about a memo from the Home Office is totally unfounded. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4g2g7qgl1eo

OK. Your mistake was obviously to be too honest. Notwithstanding my other point still stands. If you create a BBC account & use iPlayer there is no way of the BBC or Capita knowing who you are. They cannot tie an email address to a TV licence so unless you incriminate yourself you can use...

They can't. The BBC account required to login to BBC iPlayer has no identifier beyond an email address which could just as easily be an anonymous Gmail address. The idea that use of BBC iPlayer is monitored in any meaningful way with regard to enforcement of TV licensing is mistaken.
