We would have to be certain that the Dutch record deaths the same way that we do. There was that problem over red wine and olive oil reducing death by heart attack in s. European countries, but it was because they had a category of 'normal death without suspicion' or something like that, so...

The problem with licensing, testing cyclists, compulsory headgear etc. is that people tend to stop cycling. Safer roads are the answer. The Dutch do a huge amount of cyclist training and have done so for decades. They start with little children in school and continue this for many years. Many of...

What is more efficient, Using hydrogen in a fuel cell OR just burning it in a conventional internal combustion engine?

I never trust newspapers. An apocryphal story, maybe a myth is that after the Kennedy assassination, the world's news reporters were desperate for any titbits. They badgered one of the Doctors who had treated the President in his death throes,he explained that he was a trauma surgeon, not a...

Joking aside, I will probably buy some for my young grand children. Could be collectables in the future. Mind, I still have the Common Market leaflet put out by the government years ago. No money there...yet, nor for my petrol coupons.

You must understand that the Gale is my folding bike. I have another bike as well. Only downside to the Gale is that the motor tops out at 12mph. On the other hand it is a good climber, so it suits me just fine. It lives in the boot of my car, so that if I go to town, I can park on the outskirts...

Must leap to defence of Woosh here. Bikes may be cheap, but my Woosh has proved to be very good and tough It has been said before, there is little benefit for the ebiker in spending a lot of money on expensive, high end components intended for racing. Caveat, that if you like off roading, then...

Particulary when other countries, unless the Minister of Justice has a problem, totally ignore these sort of things. The Chief of local Police in a Belgium town has ridden my throttle equipped Tonaro. Never made any comment about the throttle.
