I think Mark Tarpenning is not entirely correct. There is a cost of convenience if you want to refuel quickly, may it be petrol, diesel or hydrogen.

I think they like raising some additional income for the VCA.

I think the way to reconcile the two sides is to increase taxation. successive goverments since Margaret Thatcher's have refused to tax more. This has created the pull factor to London because the net take home pay is so much higher here than in France, Germany, Italy or Spain. Slap 10% on...

would they though? that would be a backdoor for anyone buying a manufactured bike with a socket for a thumb throttle to add it in themselves.

I thought that this paragraph is quite clear: I am sure that the suppliers are capable of looking after themselves.

Rob, the Zoom disc brakes on the Bear that you had 3 years ago to Tektro Novela then last year to SRAM Avid. The rotor has also been upgraded from 160mm on the bike you tested to 180mm for nearly two years now.

I'd say put a punitive tax on empty properties in London, at least 1% of their value per annum. It's a disgrace.

that's a fashion statement, a bit more than extreme.

the average age of the target group is 60+. they tend to have shorter legs and big torsos. Also, they prefer a more upright position, hence the adjustable quill stem.

You can see that the top of seat tube is low compared to the top of the head tube. At its lowest setting, the saddle will be only a couple of inches above the rear rack. Other than that, the front of the saddle on the Bermuda is classically placed vertically above the bottom bracket. 5ft7 is...

both battery locations are good on weight distribution. Most people prefer the rear wheel to be as close to the seat post as possible (the bike feels nippier), so in general, downtube battery gives to the bike better handling.

I use aluminium ones http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Stainless-Steel-Knurled-Serrated-Large-Head-Rivnuts-Blind-Nutserts-M4-to-M10-/251201654173

based on wages, we are behind Luxembourg, Denmark and Sweden but we produce better paid jobs than the rest of the EU. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_European_countries_by_average_wage So don't knock service sector jobs.

The Bermuda has a rigid tail, its motor is not suspended like the Big Bear's so nothing protects its spokes against too much stress at road bumps and potholes. For heavier riders, the Big Bear is a better choice.

you need something to discharge the battery and an energy meter to measure how much you use to recharge the battery. The capacity is roughly 90% of energy consumed during recharge. I use two heater's bars and crocodile clips to make up my discharge circuit. Some people use 3 or 4 x 50W 12V GU11...

welcome to the forum Ray. You won't need to worry about tough inclines when you see the size of its motor.

if he's permanent resident, then he should have got his S1 form. they only bill him 20% of the cost. The other 80% (24,000 Euros) is picked up by the French CMU.

there is far less chance that we'd go bankrupt inside the EU. All areas of our economy is constantly moritored by the EU. A huge number of complicated directives and regulations keep our economy and our banks safe. The EU is truly a huge machine composed of and run by the elite from member...

our healthcare is no match for France, Germany and Spain. There is no queue there because they spend on health a lot more than we do. Welfare is only attractive to a tiny minority of EU migrants. As there is no likelihood that we will require a visa from EU citizens after Brexit, the latter will...

like all principles, there will be cases where the EU freedom of movement will be severely tested. I know from my children's friends that a lot of their friends come to work in London/the UK for a few years then move on. My children do a bit same, they have all worked abroad for a few years. At...
