I think the OP was referring to setting up a medium to large factory with many potential jobs. I did not read his outlook as blinkered, and more well informed than most opinions about France. There are aids for setting up a small business here, I have benefited from them twice in the form of...

4 miles isn't enough. You will have to adapt your riding style a little and that doesn't come instantly. If the bike is comfortable and fits you then you are half way to liking it you just have to learn the rest.

Because it is a means of transport not a sport here. That doesn't mean the lycras like being passed on hills however... :rolleyes:

Why is it safer falling off at 20 kmh than 25 kmh? Are those extra 5 kmh the limit between slight grazing and broken bones? Or maybe so they have to pedal harder to keep up with mum... o_O

I thought you were throwing the cheap labour out?

OK so it is a road bike frame, personally I wouldn't try bending one of those. I was going to say 25C but you beat me to it. I have 2 mm clearance with my rear tyre, I had it trued by the bike shop because it went out of line after about 100 km.

I got mine appart by disassembling the freewheel and getting a better hold on the inside which has a notch or two.

Easier to buy a new wheel and tyre isn't it?

Copy pasted from the Guardian As for “punishing” the UK, the EU has far too much on its plate to indulge in punitive expeditions. It will defend its national and continental interests with as much vigour as Britain will. And, since the EU is more than seven times bigger, it will impose its...

I am going to say something negative about b+m: The damned wires are too short! The front light wire isn't long enough to get to the controller and the back one, which I bought in a separate kit with mudguard fittings is barely long enough to take the normal route... 3/10 for that b+m :(...

70 lumens! :D

You need e-brakes if you are going to use a throttle - it can eventually jam WOT. Not a good thing!

The multi-billion £ question... And we all have a hunch who will make a lot of money from all this don't we.

I have a spreadsheet so I know the total :eek: And?... About £1200 in all including a 20 Ah battery, chargers, power supply and two locks - frame and D lock.

Because all our manufacturing went to China...

d8veh makes bikes that don't fall apart and so do I. Do it yourself! The UK is the 1960's read the Brexit thread! I can build my own bike for £2,300 that will beat any brand built bike on specs, maybe on looks too and d8veh can build one even better!!!

I have the same knee(s), rugby? When they are like that it is going to be very cold and I don't ride my bike. Yes. Yamaha has the advantage of twin chainrings, see above. If your knee fails you can have a granny chainring to get you home.

For money? :rolleyes:

And which should have stayed lost but which was found again? Question from a hobbit... :rolleyes:

It is called a "frame lock" and becomes second nature to turn the key and remove it even when leaving the bike for seconds and in view. Can't be ridden away, can be picked up and carried away.
