No.

you should wacth Keir Starmer replying to David Davis on BBC news at the moment. Stephen Gethins, SNP MP "We don't know if it's a hard Brexit or a soft Brexit but we do know it's a dog's Brexit":

I think we are OK with e-bike technology. We already make bikes and it's not difficult to design and manufacture motors, controllers and BMSes. Manufacturing invariably needs support from government, I believe the main reason we haven't done so is because successive governments prefer to promote...

how can you get a constant, predictable supply of normal bikes when exchange rate moves like a yo-yo? The problem with the exchange rates is its link to political division within the tories. Businesses don't normally worry too much about exchange rate, they can always reflect that in their...

it seems the battle line is now drawn between the ordinary man or woman, and the elite. If you have a degree, you are probably elite. Political corectness is definitely elitist.

I blame the celebrity culture and low standard of civic education.

the Pound dropped to $1.23 this morning.

I'd say yes. There is no good reason to leave the Single Market. A lot of people have pointed out that leaving the EU involves opting out of FOM and the ECJ. However, whenever you have a trade agreement, you have to have a supranational Court to resolve disputes. So why not the ECJ. As for...

I agree. Conversion is usually the most cost effective way into e-biking. The test is simple: if you can whip the bottom bracket off your bike then you can convert it.

MPs demand vote on hard brexit. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/oct/08/mps-demand-vote-hard-brexit-single-market Ed Milliband is more than a match for Mrs May.

simple truths? that and the fact that Mrs May is frightened of her brexit ministers.

Study found that 6 per cent of Leave voters had regrets about the way they voted, while only 1 per cent of Remainers had. hard brexit would increase the number of brexit regretters, may be enough to remove the tories from power at the next elections.

could it be muscle memory? your legs ease off just before you change gears? keeping chain tension at just the right amount? do you have a shimano shadow derailleur?

then you should go for the best bike with 500WH battery you can afford. For conversion, it's difficult to hang a 15AH battery anywhere on the Giant - the tubes are very thin.

Tony had his microswitch inside the RapidFire shifter casing. The RF lever pushes on the switch to close the contact. I have a reed microswitch mount fitted to the handlebars. I glued a 2mm wide magnet on the underside plastic cover which moves when the RF lever is pushed. It's OK to make one...

it's not so much a question that voters did not understand the implications, they have also to take into account other issues that preoccupy them at the time of the vote. If we were to re-run the same referendum now, the outcome may be the opposite. Then, a lot of people (including myself)...

An expensive e-bike won't last long lashed to a lamp post in London. I wonder if there are Chinese bikes tough enough for 15-20,000 miles a year for a 17st rider. I know of a 17st commuter who does about 30 miles a day in Southend. He's got a Woosh Big Bear since 2014. Woosh charge him £25 every...

sadly both.

someone suggested that the current low value of the Pound reflects less the fear of a hard brexit but of a 'Fawlty' brexit, Britain returning to the state it was in before joining the EU. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/the-markets-are-terrified-of-a-fawlty-brexit-2016-10-07

one solution for your wife is a folding bike. Smaller wheels give better torque with the same motor. One important consideration is weight. How heavy are you both?
