Kids primarily learn by example and all instances of contempt for the law shown by adults influence them and their behaviour. So it has everything to do with your various examples, including here. .

I haven't seen these, who is in first place, ISIS or Russia? .

I disagree. Posting about derestricting EAPCs shows a contempt for the law and gives the impression that this law is unimportant, seen very clearly in the casual way that so many join just to find out how to break this law. It is not unimportant, nor is it anything to do with the British...

Ditto .

I assume you are excluding pedelec tricycles which need no licence. A motorised tricycle (no pedals) which otherwise fits the EAPC regulations requires a category Q driving licence: -------------------------------------------------------------------- Category Q You can drive 2-wheeled and...

Another notable thing about the Netherlands cycling accident statistics is that 40% of the circa 200 cyclist deaths each year are with no others involved, causing their own deaths. No doubt once again the speed freaks. .

A bit like that, in the sense that if one follows every detail of the regulations, such bikes would fall foul of the reqirements in some nit picking way. .

It is in my Sticky Thread: Pedelec Law, the details .

You can buy any one you like and get it approved for a fully acting throttle in just the same way Wisper do Terry: Getting legal permission to have a fully acting "Twist and Go" throttle on a pedelec: The Motorcycle Single Vehicle Approval test now includes a sub-category for "Twist and go"...

Probably no need, I think such machines will remove themselves from the roads quite quickly, maybe even removing their riders from the population! .

The 250W LPM e-bikes supplied by Wisper use their existing stamped bicycle frame number as the VIN number, this agreed from the outset of this sub-category when the individual approvals were done at Southampton. Since then their approvals have been done at Gillingham, Kent, more convenient to...

I'm not referring to the M.A.C., only to the fact that an MAC inspection will certify a home build as a legitimate EAPC according to all the rules. For example the required labelling on the converted bicycle showing the Manufacturer, the Maximum Continuous Rated Power and the Maximum Assisted...

I know of it too, the last time I saw it published was in A to B magazine. The male researcher was very thorough, even in his gender bias research to the extent of experimentally wearing a long blonde wig and suitable apparel to appear to drivers as a female cyclist. .

It's not stupid, it's not incompetent and it is not badly written. It does what it should do, certify a motor as being able to deliver 250 watts consistently over wide range of circumstances, while allowing sufficient power for the specific need ín the more difficult circumstances. Back in the...

Which of course produces the opposite of happiness, the certainty of dissatisfaction resulting. .

That's actually not true and never has been since there is a simple solution that I hit on very early in life. Whatever one's income, someone else will be earning less and managing ok, so just be that person and save the difference. I've been retired for thirty-three years now and I'm still...

I don't do that since for me primary safety is everything, never having the accident. I believe our excessive British emphasis on secondary safety and the resultant feeling of security leads to many more accidents, while an ever present knowledge of vulnerability leads to more care and far...

I have done many times in this forum, saying how I've ridden bicycles for well over 70 years, never wearing a helmet and never banging my head doing it. There are some things helmet wearing promoters should be aware of: Bicycles have been around since the first one in 1817, yet a cycle helmet...

Not just many people but many countries too, like Britain, paying vast interest every month on our immense national debt. For Britain I'd change the words in your brackets too: (Not being convinced they always need the latest "defensive" tech and regularly fighting proxy US wars doesn't help...

Even worse for me John, since I always pay my credit card total every month, using it like a charge card, so credit scorers often wouldn't even list me as existing. Not true of ClearScore though, since they regularly advise my good score despite my never having anything owing, so you could try...
