Good to hear from you again. There is another thread running on this but I have no PC at the moment so I can't direct you to it via this tablet. I hope you will be able to search it out as it had been very active up until Ms Mallon suggested that she was "looking for a way to proceed". It was...

I got slaughtered on another forum for suggesting that technicians examining cars should perhaps be able to spot a crack in a lift under which they were working. So strict here compared to our years in England reinforced my thinking about their diligence. Who knows.

There is only one way to proceed. Instigate Parity. Which part of this does she not understand?

Many thanks Damian. It really does seem like I am banging my head, but I am certainly banging this keyboard. Hope you are still cycling safely up there mate. We will all be legal again someday........

Thank you for copying me in to your recent email to my colleague ………………..MLA on the subject of electric bicycles in Northern Ireland and your opposition to any attempt to require registration of these cycles here. I will continue to work closely with ………. in his efforts to have this matter...

I know you folk have been supportive for a long time but could I ask anyone / everyone to mail Mr Givan at this address paul.givan@mla.niassembly.gov.uk I know you will understand that I don’t really want to appear to be the only one who is affected by this issue as that would look poor so the...

Good afternoon ...... I write in respect of your email to .............. regarding the legislation around electric bicycles (EAPCs). I have written to the Infrastructure Minister, Nichola Mallon MLA, raising you very valid concerns about the absence of uniformity with the rest of the United...

Another reply - anyone still awake out there? :oops: Dear …. Thank you for your recent correspondence by email regarding the matters on which we had previously corresponded in relation to the registration of electric assisted pedal bicycles. As you rightly point out, now that the Assembly is...

I see from the N. I. news this evening that another pay rise in line with inflation is due to be awarded in early April. Am I on the right planet?

OK, a letter to Sammy Wilson MP a week ago got this reply. We are in no position to be impatient - even though that is one of my worst traits. Dear Mr .............. Thank you very much for your email regarding the need to update legislation to allow for e-bikes. This is an issue which I had...

Just had a good reply from Sammy Wilson. I will post it from my PC.

Best not make a comment other than just ashamed to be living back here. Edit. The BBC N.I. HYS is in meltdown.

This is live on the BBC N.I. politics site. Time is running out for today but not before MLAs have awarded themselves a £1000 annual pay rise. Give me strength.

Today is the first sitting of the Stormont Infrastructure Committee and I have been through the extensive agenda scheduled. I can see nothing relating to the use of Pedelecs.

I think I am getting a headache (too much to take in) and on top of that I am off for a pacemaker check tomorrow. This hasn't been a good week. :(

The more I read this the less I like it. So apparently the alleged powers have decided that an MOT won't be necessary - does that suggest that the rest of the restrictions will apply?

Replies seem to be sporadic. I have had two acknowledgements and one from Infrastructure which wasnt really enlightening but that means another two haven't replied at all. I'm not letting it settle here this way, I shall wait as you say for a few weeks and then go again.

Someone will hopefully correct me if I am wrong but I believe I joined a few years ago and started a thread about the law regarding pedelecs here in Ulster. It turned into a monster as I recall but tailed off. This particular thread began a while back on the same theme and you would do well to...

VERY happy to be corrected and / or enlightened. BREXIT??

Sadly all too true. Disappointing to see disagreements between cyclists here. :( However even though I have all necessary licences etc, I just won't be using them to ride a bicycle.
