I think that I should modify my earlier post. Obviously people differ as to their muscles and skeletons. Equally, something like regular rowing, archery, process work can modify muscles and bones. Straight bars are fine for BMX etc. where a maximum of control and leverage are needed, maybe only...

Straight bars are just a modern fashion statement. They put the shoulders in an unnatural position. Try using straight bars on something like a wheel barrow.

Tom, You seem to be an unreconstructed Marxist. Tell us all about the million or more people starved to death in the Ukraine in the 1930' s by Stalin. Tell us about the Polish officers murdered in Katyn forest by the Marxists. Explain to us why the Communist Party of Great Britain supported...

I'm right....er, I mean left...... but still right!

The problem that I find is that choice of bike is such a personal matter. Rather like choosing a car. My first and main bike is a Tonaro crank driver. I detested the pedelec magnet ring so I removed it and it is throttle only now. But oddly enough, when I bought my Woosh Gale folder (hub motor)...

Flecc, Don't forget the part that the Unions played in destroying Britain.

Zealots talking to Zealots. KEEP AWAY!

Cannot say anything, Just speechless.

What is it with modern manufacturers that they do not put mud flaps on the front mudguard?

I cannot see that even getting off the ground. The danger is huge. But I seem to remember reading about a method that absorbed hydrogen rather than keeping it under pressure.

Re-assuringly expensive is the phrase you are looking for I think!

It is very unfortunate, but the more that people buy these Bosch products, the more Bosch will continue with their restrictive practices and basically rip people off. If people decide to not buy Bosch (ie the market decides) then this pernicious practice will cease. Me? I am 100% for the Chinese.

What is a 'Truman Bubble?'

The thing is that sexism does not have to be divisive. I was at my sailing club when I lost a rather important button, one of the lady members kindly sewed it back on for me. Equally, when her car wouldn't start, it was the men who rallied around to get it going. We all have our strengths, we...

Well, they look like Mothers/Grandmothers to me. No "SJW safe space seeking, all men are rapists" nonsense about them. Probably raised young sons themselves, no delusions about the very real difference between the sexes. If you are a woman and don't want to get your hands dirty, just look...

Best wishes everyone.

Is that correct? My impression is that actually out there in the world, the bulk of bikes are Chinese and do have throttles. Both of mine have.

Now if it had been a moslem bakery.................................

I suspect that the remote 'Questions are being asked...' is in fact a journalists device to create news rather than someone actually asking such a question. It is obvious that he just went to Italy, in a Shengen Zone, how would he not be able to do so?

I have said it on here before, but a responsible Government would put out short 'ads' on TV to educate drivers as to their responsibilities towards cyclists. Leave at least 5 feet between cycle and car when overtaking. Understand what a cyclist is doing when 'taking the road' at keep left signs...
