    My guess is an embedded i-frame on one of the linked videos.

    Haibike Radius Tour?

    I have seen one in the flesh and it would fit my needs perfectly. The Big Ben tyres will be OK on everything but the very wet and slippery. Being able to swap the battery from bike to bike is a big plus.

    E-bikes declared illegal to use on European roads without insurance

    What amuses me is the way people in the UK have this imaginary vision of people sitting around in Brussels drawing regulations out of a hat. The truth is some business sector approached the commission though their lobbyists to have this proposal tabled. The problem is it is very difficult to...

    UK - legality of thumb-throttles in DIY conversions

    I do wear special clothes when I go for a longer ride: walking clothes, baggy shorts, technical fibre t-shirt... They cost me how many Wh per km because they flap about in the wind? I don't find clingy clothes very comfortable, my riding jeans are stretch fabric and narrow leg but wearing...

    Site update

    I had a peek at the code source of the badly behaving page (expect an invoice any day now :D ) and well... That is some of the most badly formed html I have seen in quite some time! My guess is that one of the javascript functions is trying to set aside space for one of oldtoms imported videos...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I'll translate for you, that is politician speak which means "I want to be PM"...

    E-bikes declared illegal to use on European roads without insurance

    https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/apr/25/older-men-using-e-bikes-behind-rising-death-toll-among-dutch-cyclists The "nanny Euro state" does not pull these things out of their hat, lobbyists push for them to go through. As usual follow the money... I think the insurance lobby might be the...

    UK - legality of thumb-throttles in DIY conversions

    No flecc is pretty close to the truth according to my Dutch friends. Weather in the UK and in the Netherlands = colder (enjoy the chilly breeze off the North Sea anyone? :eek: )and more snow and ice in the Netherlands. The joke of the day is my GF out cycling with her friend who upon spotting...

    Flats v spd

    Never used clips but bent is a different beast and I am getting cramp in my right calf muscle from holding my feet out and in the pedals (they have MTB toe clips). So going to buy shoes and double sided pedals https://www.bike-discount.de/en/shop/clicking-on-one-side-8868/l-24

    Battery Charger Fun - Sans 42volt 2amp

    It is written on them they are good for up to 105°C. But with the cover on and no fan I can see you going over that... :(

    Update on N.I. e-bike regs.

    That should have been in bold and large characters... You also belong to the EU for the moment and you would also want parity with the other +500 million potential pedelec riders. For me this is an English problem not a NI problem because if the English want the kingdom to be united they should...

    E-bikes declared illegal to use on European roads without insurance

    Like I said I don't mind paying insurance but if I do have to I will want more in return: - I will not drag around a number plate on a pedelec, IIRC way back before I was born in some parts of the world bicycles did have a tax disk holder on the head tube? - I will want more infrastructure and...

    UK - legality of thumb-throttles in DIY conversions

    At those speeds (25 km/h) wind resistance starts to be come a thing and whether you are on a pedelec or an un-assisted bike the force at play is identical. The best way of having a higher average commute speed, while staying legal assistance wise, is to go bent or get a vélomobile.

    Aren't they the German company which doesn't make its tyres in Indonesia? :rolleyes:

    Nice, clean, readable! So far so good. I had a issue with the page jumping up and down in the brexit thread: Chrome (latest version) on Linux (Fedora, latest version).
