    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    Using hydrogen to power ICE vehicles seems unlikely given the relatively poor energy density of compressed hydrogen. The fuel tank would need to be much stronger & 3x the size. On the other hand using hydrogen to make synthetic fuel with CO2 from the atmosphere might have been an alternative...

    Cycling. Health. Covid. Diet.

    We as a society are also far more sedentary than we were 50-60 years ago. We used to walk & cycle but now we use the car.

    ICE vehicles do not need to visit a petrol station to refuel. A jerry can allows mobile refuelling by the driver no matter how remote the location.

    The ONS data I linked to refers to household expenditure on goods & services whereas your graphs refer to house income. The £280 per year “hike” as a percentage of median household income of about £35,000 per year is just 0.008%.

    OK, it's not a bike, but it is electric... Bubble cars are back!

    The Dacia Spring at just £13,000 is the cheapest EV available by a long way. https://quotes.carwow.co.uk/deals/gva/789a0d03338a1e8c0a28da97cc26bd05

    Neither statement is true so that’s just another couple of lies from the Orange Convicted Felon.

    Do you have a link or is this just another of your seriously delusional conspiracy theories?

    I agree. There are at least three posters on this thread supporting Trump & spouting seriously delusional conspiracy theories.

    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    My intention when purchasing the Range Rover thirteen years & 110K miles ago was to have a supremely comfortable car with nice performance, great load carrying & superb towing capabilities. The safety features like air bags were a secondary consideration. Keeping a vehicle rather than replacing...

    I disagree but in any case every modern car is also safer for other road users than a Morris Minor given their pathetic drum brakes & narrow tyres leading to far longer braking distance.

    I was merely pointing out that it’s not just modern cars that are heavier than a Morris Minor but even a car made 23 years ago is much heavier. I have never been involved in an accident with the Range Rover other than the fallow deer that shot out into my path a few months ago. There are no bull...

    Touch wood I have never had an accident. Every modern car is far safer for the occupants than a Morris Minor with air bags, seat belts, decent brakes, power steering etc As noted earlier modern cars are also far heavier but far , far safer.

    I’m doing my bit for the environment by not replacing my car. In France I save the planet by running it on E85 (85% bioethanol). I’ve had it for 13 years & in all that time I have never run over any proles although a full grown fallow deer came off worst a few months ago without leaving a mark...

    My 2001 P38 Range Rover has a 4.6litre V8 & weighs two tons. In the event of an accident I would much prefer to be sat in my Range Rover than one of those Moggies.

    I saw many people who died from COVID-19. I didn't see any who died from influenza. Reduction in influenza to near zero proves that lockdowns work for influenza. The lockdowns prevented a catastrophic number of people falling ill with COVID-19 all at the same time.

    Let me explain it for you. The logic is very simple. SARS-CoV-2 is many times more infectious than influenza. Lockdowns are very effective as proven by the marked decrease in influenza cases. Without lockdowns there would have been many more times the number of COVID-19 infections plus the...

    Wisper Wisper Bike rack cracked

    I agree that after five years this isn't a warranty issue but it's pretty poor that Wisper cannot sell you a replacement rack. It looks like your bike is a Wisper 905 which is a current model. Surely they should have spares?

    It does as even if the sale is legit they are trying to pretend it's a business to business transaction to which consumer rights do not apply.
