This is also not totally true, just because its not reported doesn't mean its not happening. Its certainly not a deafening silence. There is a growing swell, and it has to be managed correctly, Brexit has to be allowed to pan out for its negative impacts to be felt. If its reversed too early...

interesting point. I agree that I don't think they'll be any change, because I think the impossible dream, is just that.

ok, and what do you want for your other 2 wishes?

No, I want you to define how you envisage it being. between the ROI and NI. What do you see being there?

ok, so what is this 4th option you think exits. Try and write it down in a simple few sentences so I can get my expert to look at it.

A border is a 2 way thing. Its not about what you / we might or might not want. If we decide to not set up the: If there is a single difference to the rules, just a single one. One side or the other is going to want / need a border. First comment this morning on a post I made from a...

the number of bike shops closing in the UK is now reaching pretty noticeable levels. Its getting quite a lot of discussion on the trade forums. This news is out today, and its not looking good. https://www.retailgazette.co.uk/blog/2017/12/uk-set-3rd-slowest-growing-retail-market-earth-2018/

either way, there will need to be a border won't there. Which isn't something that anyone seems to be able to accept. It'll therefore bring the Brexit think crashing down at some point.

Nothing has really changed...its just more, we'll put things off in the hope public opinion has changed by the time we have to actually commit to something... and I give you Aaron Banks to confirm this. Our co-founder, Arron Banks' response to today's Brexit deal announcement: "It's...

So why aren't you building bikes in the EU/UK? But I also mean level playing field - bikes v eBikes.

Switzerland, who are in Schengen zone.... taking back control? can you really see ths happening?? https://www.schengenvisainfo.com/schengen-visa-countries-list/

not really, but the fact people seem to think that means May's objective was achieved.

No I think they just want a level playing field, and to encourage you to build the bikes in the EU. It doesn't seem that complicated is it?

Correct EFTA, is not a trading organisation. Its members are either in the EEA, or Switzerland with its own deal. Either way, the UK joining EFTA / EEA would open up a can of worms in the shape of being in the Schengen zone. Oh, and if anyone wants a read the House of Lords has dones some...

You really think if we removed the "preotection" of the EU from eveything currently protected that would be a good thing? Many industries, many companies that this country take pride in would be wiped out over night. Do you think Brompton could compete with Chinese folding bikes without the...

The impact assessment has been found. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/why-the-government-believes-that-voting-to-remain-in-the-european-union-is-the-best-decision-for-the-uk/why-the-government-believes-that-voting-to-remain-in-the-european-union-is-the-best-decision-for-the-uk

I really can't believe we're watching this happen.

Sorry if I'm not expressing myself clearly enough here. Cyclists who commute are covered in flashing lights. One more won't obviously be an indicator on a vehicle motorists don't expect to see indicators on. On other vehichles like motorbikes, they don't have any flashing lights, so an...

Well yes, but also no. Those vehicles move at a much more comparable speed, and also I'd not be using it as a comparison to claim its safe based on how many motorcyclists are killed at junctions. People also expect to see indicators on motorbikes, with no other flashing lights. People expect...

I appreciate they are flashing lights, what I'm saying is that on a narrow bike, viewed by drivers who don't expect bikes to have indicators, they will just be seen as another flashing light. Describing them as indicators is going to cause problems, visible or not. We did a lot of testing with...
