Scientists think if any advanced civilisation was smart enough to develop the technology for interstellar flight it would take them around 10,000 years to completely populate the galaxy. The fact that we haven't heard a peep from them since we started looking 50 odd years ago suggests the...

Yes she is really slow in giving answers sometimes, I was wondering if she is suffering with a very serious illness, she certainly does not look very well.

It was good to see Farage have to face some awkward questions from Marr for a change. He normally gets an easy time from interviewers who seem too scared to ask him anything difficult they just let him babble on about anything he wants.

Yes I agree, he was only using the peddles once in a blue moon.

As others have said, reaching speeds of 35 to 40 mph even in the early hours of the morning are very likely to bring you to the attention of the Police so that's probably not a good idea. I like Artstu's suggestion of the Bianchi with the Polini motor and their Hi Speed device. Apparently...

I am not sure but I think I have read that a bike shop can tell if a bosch system has had a dongle fitted, even if you remove it when taking it into the shop either for a service or a warranty issue. Soundwave do you know if this is the case? I can't remember where I have read this, otherwise...

I considered doing this too but haven't for the following reason. He does have a very good knowledge of pedelecs and I have learned a lot about them from his posts. He has a really good understanding of their operation so if I put him on ignore I would miss out on this information. I don't...

If you can manage steep hills un-assisted no problem, then I am sure a Fazua equipped bike will be fine for you. I really wanted to like the one I test rode, and was unhappy that it just was not powerful enough for me on steep hills.

I rode tested a Fazua powered road bike (Cube Agree) a few months ago. It was great on the flat and small hills, but very poor on really steep hills. If you already have good cycle fitness or not to many steep hills where you live you will probably find its fine, but I was rather disappointed...

Farage has been an MEP for about 20 years currently on about £84000 per year and I imagine even more expenses. So over that time he has made millions out of the EU. I have no problem with someone being against the EU, but what kind of person spends 20 years in an organisation. Earns millions...

Been a fair bit of talk on here recently about conspiracy theories. Interesting article here about how Farage uses them, he is a very clever politician. Shame he wouldn't put that cleverness into trying to improving the EU and not getting us out of it...

Perhaps Putin wont stump up several million this time around.

I see leave advocates trotting out this type of thing all the time in interviews and the interviewer almost never points out the massive flaw in their logic. If we leave on WTO rules, yes we cause harm to the EU but (and this is where the car sale analogy breaks down) we will probably (only...

I rode tested a Cube Agree Hybrid with the Fazua motor a while back. It was great on the flat or not too steep hills but when I rode up a very steep hill (greater than 20%) it was not very good. In fact I very nearly had to get off the bike for a rest, if the hill had been a few metres longer...

I like this "enough of Brexit let's rebuild Britain instead" seems like a decent plan to me, more details here. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/may/06/labour-second-referendum-brexit-nhs

I suspect if it was just down to TM and JC then yes they probably would, but there are other people involved who will not agree to a fudge to get TM and JC off the hook of the EU elections.

A lot more info on this here https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/may/05/john-mcdonnell-pours-cold-water-on-prospects-of-brexit-deal-with-may

Watching John Mcdonnell on the Marr programme this morning it didn't look like there was much chance of the talks getting anywhere. Mcdonnell said quite clearly that he did not trust May and that she was not negotiating for the good of the country but to try and preserve something for her...

I only have experience of the Bosch CX motor on my e-mtb and the Bosch ALP motor on my Cannondale, and the ALP motor is much quieter than the CX motor. I have never ridden a hub motor pedelect, perhaps they are very quiet, and reviewers are comparing the ALP motor with that type of motor.

If your choice is just between the Impulso or the Gain, then I think consideration needs to be given to what kind of routes you will be riding on, the usual weather conditions and your overall cycling fitness. I live in an area with lots of steep hills, lots of wind and I struggle on hills. So...
