Mile for mile in the UK, despite seatbelts being compulsory, it is true. Latest full year for which there are figues is 2018, and they show an overall risk of death per journey mile is lower in a car (about 9 per billion) than for bicycles (53 per billion), but head injuries are a major cause...

You're more likely to die of a head injury while driving a car than riding a bicycle - you're right, you never know when you might need one. Wear one by all means if you must, but until you personally start wearing helmets for even riskier head injury scenarios yourself you have no moral...

And I have covered 4500 miles on my Carrera since september without a hiccup. So what? That doesn't help Pete, does it?

With 1500W its a motorbike that feels like a push bike.

So help us out, what component(s) did they say was at fault? I think Nealh is likely correct. It may be easier to simply start again with a new controller and display. The HESC (or probably HESC+ on a 2.0) motors are pretty good, so it would be worth mating it to a new controller. Because...

I wouldn't worry. There aren't enough rare earth metals to make sufficient batteries to replace every ICE car 1:1 with an electric one. The lions share of what there is available is situated on countries not terribly well disposed to the west mainly China. A trade war or even a real shooting...

The receipt won't state the name. Nothing in law that compels a consumer to produce a receipt when exercising their rights, so at the very least I'd chance my arm and try. The worst that can happen is they say no and he's no worse off than before. I'd also be suspicious about the 20 mile...

Theyre worth £1200 and £2749, or is that what you paid for them?

They did that where I live. In order to save money the council have ceased collecting large items for free, and now charge £36 - a big jump from £00.00. Of course, few people pay this and instead they're dumping their sheet hither and thiver. Instead of having it neatly left for collection on...

On the 2.0 versions of all Carreras the controller is in a comparment built into the base of the downtube. The entry hole for the wiring is higher up than the exit hole from the battery holder, so significant amounts of water won't get in unless it's been jetwashed or somesuch - it won't run...

As a 2.0 its going to be less than 2 years old so still under warranty. If you got the receipt from the original purchaser I'd just take it back.

Yet that same tip is full of staff wandering about on foot, and the public meandering blindly all over the places as they dump their tat. Perhaps demand a rebate on your council tax as they're preventing you accessing the services for which youve paid for and are entitled?

Oh god, it's time to start worrying when a government 'thinks'.

Why should taxpayers who already cycle pay people not to drive?

See, he isn't wraring a helmet. The furious doomsayers will be frothing with righteous anger at that.è

I can't understand why cyclists have such a bad name.

Or pretty much any UK politician of the past 3 decades.

McDonalds have a policy of not serving cyclists (or horses!) at their driver thru, apparently for safety reasons. Yet theyll happily serve me if I roll through on my motorbike. In terms of safety, I fail to see the diffrence - the risks, if any, must surely be identical. Socoety in general...

They weigh 49kg unladen, which begs the question as to who would be daft enough to want one in the first place? The bumpf clearly states the twist and go throttle allows it to reach 15mph, so it isn't legal.

Every single nation or state that has made helmet wearing compusory has, without exception, seen a sharp drop in cycling numbers and a rise in the cycling death rate. Not only that, a regular cyclist can expect to live on average 7 years longer than a sedentary person. The risk of premature...
