Just your opinion, I'd like to know the real reason. He could have easily kept up with his mate without swerving. There was enough room for a cyclist and a bus.

Not wishing to defend him, he had already passed through the signs. Did he see them and maybe he thought what the hell is the cyclist going on about? Either way, the real issue is why did he swerve his van into a cyclist? The van obviously didn't take control and do it it for him.

In a perfect world everybody would take note and act accordingly. The trouble is, people are not robots or computers. Errors and omissions do sometimes happen in all walks of life.

No, you just need a good turn of speed if pursued.

High vis is good. Means you don't get run over.

Just done the same myself. Hopefully a few more posters will also notify them. Lets see if a response comes back. Looked deliberate to me. If it was not, I'd be interested to know whats wrong with his steering mechanism.

Non but it will get jet washed once moving if you have no mud guards. Sort of a moving Bidet.

I wear a regular helmet on and off road. Only ever landed on my head once and the helmet did hit the ground before my head. No valid reason for me not to wear one, so I wear one. I also feel that it is a good example for my little kid. I tried a full face helmet once off road. Ok but I did...

Always comes back to the same. Why don't you buy a moped? Well, my answer would be because I don't want a heavy 50mph vehicle and the associated costs . I need a low weight cycle that I can get from A to B in a reasonable timescale. One that gives me daily exercise and keeps me fit. One that...

Tillson Its all a bit irrelevant. If somone wants to travel at an assisted 20mph, then they'll probably set their bike up accordingly. After all there is no sense in an assisted system the switches off the assistance when the operator requires it. You may be happy to potter along but some of...

I regularly exceed 15mph. 20, even 25 with a strong following wind. Downhill section, 40 mph + My hydraulic brakes, tyres and the cycle mechanics are more that up the job. I might add that I'm talking about my non ebike, human power only.

I think the regulations allow for a candle in a jam jar. From my driving experiences, a flashing light is far less likely to blend into the background lighting. I run non flashing, front and rear when on cycle paths. In traffic, I switch to flashing for both. The regulations are of no concern...

Flecc Thanks for taking time to reply. Not sure why but I guessed you would come up with and explanation that made my good idea into not such a good idea. Appreciate that it is is the powers that be and not you. A shame because these devices could open up a whole new world of transportation...

My guess is that the so called rip off version and I have one too is just lengthening the pulse to create an overlap thereby halving the frequency of the pulse train. Resetting and repeating. The Bosch system will most likely be looking for a leading edge and does not care about anything...

The USB port on the Human Interface?

denwyn The tone of your post says it all. If I had made a call to any supplier in the tone of your email, I'd expect the phone to hung up. Its a perfectly reasonable request to ask for a photo to assist. Sounds to me as if you did not want to assist at all and remained defensive. Only my...

Flecc what makes you think powered trailers have anything do do with motor vehicle legislation? As I see it, a trailer is not a vehicle and therfore has nothing to do with motor vehicle legislation. This type of trailer seems to be a brilliant idea. The cycle stays a cycle, non electric...

If the used car is such a bargain, why it that we cannot move about freely due to the quantity of them. Forced to breathe in all the crap that comes out the back of them. Please don't compare a modern, well engineered cycle to a tin box s**t heap designed to clog up the roads and do absolutely...

I was serious. Like I said, what sort of claim are you talking about?

What sort of claim do you think that might be? A couple of cyles on a tow hitch rack will make no difference what so ever. Compare that arrangement with a 1000kg caravan wagging the rear end and there is no comparison. I think manufacturer reccomend a specific figure to give people a...
