    Brexit, for once some facts.

    do we remember all the polls leading up to the referendum pointing to a no vote. I think they can be made to say what they want and are used to manipulate public opinions

    Replacing 7 years old Freego Eagle

    Hi nick just replaced my 6year old Eagle with an Oxygen ST Cross,and it really is great for what you are requiring. As you say the Eagle is a good bike but a bit heavy and difficult to use without power. I am now finding that I do a lot more unassisted riding which with 13a battery gives me...

    Did I miss options? - Comfortable/Easy going ride while still being at tiny bit sporty looking

The crossbar version is the one I really fancied but due to a good deal and my advancing years had the ST. I would certainly think it would...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I expected a cost and a lot of disruption short term, but I feel that the EU have tried to make it as difficult as possible for us to leave creating unnecessary disruption and expense. I know that they may be able to absorb it better, after all they'll just expect all the contributors to pay...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I am sure there will be many problems ahead. Nobody ever thought it would be easy, and yes many stupid statements were made by both factions, but the fact is we voted to leave the EU despite all the threats and negative prophesies. Also there is big trouble brewing in europe, and I think they...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the predictions were based on us actually voting to leave. We were going to have an instant recession/emergency budget/lose 500,000 jobs etc. All turned out to be spectacularly wrong. Experts Governor of BOE, Christine Lagarde, George Osborne and many more

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    we had some pretty gloomy predictions during the campaign from some notable '' experts '' but they were all wrong. I suppose the law of averages says that they will get one right eventually

    At one time we would have been able to produce most of our own meat and dairy before the EU. Maybe we'll get there again if we get unshackled from the CAP

    Importing bikes from Europe after a no deal Brexit

    may be better just to walk away and take the hit. We don't want to be controlled by Brussels that's why we voted out. The EU will never stop wanting more and more. We need politicians with some backbone.
