"Thus, when it’s all over there is a (faint) hope they will understand what 1.5 metres looks like, and keep this recommended distance when passing cyclists on the road." Being both a cyclist and a car driver, respectively, for 73 and 60 years, and for the most part a rural dweller, I realise...

Is it spinning the right way round when off the floor?

The Gov.uk's website for MOT checking has not yet corrected the expiry dates, in line with the Government's 18 months validity, for post 30th March expiry dated vehicles. https://www.check-mot.service.gov.uk/

If this quote is actually taken from the official advice, rather than a local police take on it, "--driving for a walk in the countryside is considered unnecessary when you can go for a walk from your home. ", then somebody has missed the pertinent word "when". For those in that dense...

"--driving for a walk in the countryside is considered unnecessary when you can go for a walk from your home. " The contradiction, is that in many locations in densely populated areas, is that it is "necessary" to help saves lives, if recreation needs to be taken. The point I made, is the...

It just seems so illogical that breaking being housebound and taking walks or cycling exercise in a conurbation is deemed fine, but to drive a 4 or 5 miles into the rural sticks, well away from "honeypot" venues as Parks & beaches, is considered so wrong that it is policed. If going out in a...

Don't the statistics actually point to "most accidents happening at home"? DIY and gardening being I recall high up there, no embargo on these yet and I suspect quite a few are into these activities whilst at home right now.

You have, conveniently, quoted going to "beaches & parks", not what I said at all. People living in flats can go for a local walk, but IMO in some areas that would present a very much greater CV transmission risk, to them and others, compared to getting into their car and parking up in a field...

Unfortunately, here "one size does not fit all". We live in the sticks and have access to our own land and to quiet lanes, a Common and the footpath, bridleway & byway network. So getting exercise is readily available. Contrast that with living on the tenth floor of a multiple occupancy block...

Be very careful, fundamentally here you have failed to comply with their totally reasonable request you return the bike. IMO you would be better serving yourself by seeking help on doing that, than seeking to use online channels to try to damage your dealer. Until they have your bike they can't...

You ought to be comfortably covered by the Consumer Rights Act 2015, making the problem the supplying dealers, not yours, but unfortunately that process can be stressful in itself. Talk to your local Citizens Advice people, help is there and the provisions of that Act can be massively powerful...

Is that actually true, would not the growing percentage of the population surviving COVID-19 and so have developed some immunity, in itself reduce the infection probability, of those yet to get infected? IE, working as some vaccines [like smallpox and polio as examples] do, to reduce the viable...

A Kalkhoff Agattu 8, I believe a 2016 but purchased 2017. The battery does go into a sort of hibernation, if unused for a week, in appearing to be dead to the bike, until the on battery status red button is pushed, waking it up. Does that mode self protect the battery form high charge state...

With "only essential" travelling now mandated, I can't see our bikes, used purely for leisure, going out for some months. What is the best "lay-up" practice for my wife's bike, that one is an e-bike? I seem to recall talk of taking the battery SoC down to about 60% of its normal range?

That I feel is correct, and no reason why it should not be, forums are after all no more or less than its contributors. However, it leaves the normal person interested in buying into an e-bike not as an enthusiast, but as someone using the product as designed, no obvious port of call. I came...

Now I am confused, the Rambla link quoted takes you to text on the Rambla, but images of the Rambletta ?

I am not seeing why adding a throttle to a CD can increase the motor's maximum torque, power yes, but that would be available only if the motor could rev faster. To rev faster would require some extra gearing to be available. However, somebody struggling up a hill, already would be in the...

Removed; original miss read.

Are the heated saddles in especially for the 1st of April, surely this can't be real the more so as today is the start of "Spring"?

Without more details we can't simply draw those parallels. What matters is the force delivered at the road, that relates to the wheel's torque and its radius. The useful torque the Bosch in the Motus can provide depends on the bike's selected gear, an option the hub motor has not available...
