    E-bike journeys and pictures around the South Tyne Valley

    Had a really pleasant ride over to Gilsland in Cumbria on the Sustrans Route 72, with my partner. Well.... It is just literally over the border between Northumberland and Cumbria, but only if you go to the western part of it. Superb weather and 21 miles with some steep hill climbing. Stopped at...

    Blood clots can lead to strokes or clots that stop your heart and kill you. Please do not take them lightly. Get yourself properly checked out as a matter of urgency and take it easy until you have been seen and properly evaluated. The blood thinners are a small inconvenience in comparison to...

    Yes, I agree with that. A few days ago I applauded Starmer's drive to build millions of houses. It seems that already they are talking about cutting the power of local government planners to stop development. It isn't just a block on housing; it also afflicts green power development in terms of...

    I agree with the last point. We do need to invest more in industry. A HUGE amount more. And government should lead that process. I have never seen any technical discussion which says you can make high quality, steel for technical applications from scrap. Scrap steel is contaminated by a...

    Has the UK been suckered into destroying its capacity to make virgin steel from iron ore by a foolish devotion to the green agenda? I know of no way to make virgin steel without significant carbon emissions. If you do know how to make NEW steel from iron ore without adding a lot of carbon...

    Surprising how easily Boeing has managed to slide out of accountability for the lethal quality issues it is responsible for. The aero manufacturing and travel industry worked hard to increase safety when it had a terrible accident record in the 1940s and 1950s and did that by taking every...

    I think this is what is known as a non sequitur. I have no idea what it means or how it relates to anything said above.

    You can read it. Open the link in incognito, or private mode and you can read two articles. Close the browser and you can read another two by reopening another private browser window. A bit painful, but maybe worth it, as a counterbalance to the communist propaganda often posted here - not to...

    How much battery sag is too much for a 3 year old battery?

    I noticed quite a power increase through the feel of the bike when I tried 18 amps max, but I have reduced the max amps back to where it was when I first looked at the settings, which was 15 amps. That is enough power for me to get anywhere I usually go and I spend a fair bit of time on hilly...

    The usual banal stupidity, as the hard left pretends that addressing the views, worries and problems of the four million people who voted Reform (not where my vote went by the way) is the same thing that happened when Hitler came to power. Everyone who has views anywhere slightly right of New...

    How much battery sag is too much for a 3 year old battery?

    I returned start degree to 4 after my bike tried to run off when the pedal moved a bit. I just made those changes and tried it around the place while the rain briefly stopped. I get MUCH more of a push from the throttle now, though it comes on softly because start current is now at 10% rather...

    "Sodium-ion Battery packs for electric bikes"

    If this is true, and it works, it could mean a revolution in battery technology. I used to think a few years ago that we were at the limits of the practical physics and chemistry of battery development. We were certainly not. Very clever people keep coming up with very novel ideas like this and...

    How much battery sag is too much for a 3 year old battery?

    I am back with my kit e-bike again and have been riding this morning before the horrible downpours arrived (right now it is torrential outside). I have not yet addressed the changes to throttle which we were discussing. I am in an undecided state as to whether I need to. I generally don't...

    Why not say something that YOU made up? Why for example, do you equate someone who suggests it is wrong to advocate taking from hard working people, what they made themselves, and giving it away to others, with the German Nazi Party and the murderers of Anne Frank? That is just utterly banal...
