Apart from the morons driving on our roads, I have spotted cyclists several times recently blatantly ignoring the red light at junctions. Tom

Jackie Walker, Momentum’s Vice Chair has come under attack from the Israeli lobby and mainstream media for anti-Semitism. This begs the question: If a Jewish woman cannot criticise Jews or Israel, then who the hell can? We have to get over this mindset that anti-Semitism is "special racism,"...

Those who saw the hugely proclaimed victory for Jeremy Hunt over the junior doctors were not availed by the media of the full facts which brought about that decision. A better understanding of what happened and where we are now with the issue is recorded here...

I just noticed that Cytronex have begun advertising their long-awaited kit and I'm not sure what to make of it. It seems like a very neat piece of work with a rather gimmicky phone app to run the system options but apart from the fact that they have finally moved over to lithium and provide...

This piece is from the Bullshine Broadcasting company's news web page today and is the first I have read of it, no longer in receipt of any London local news rag. It will be interesting to see whether or not the police are able to mount a successful prosecution but I would expect there must be...

This forum is a poorer place in the absence of Cyclezee (and other brands), seller at Milton Keynes. His knowledge and experience in the EPAC market was second to none and his contributions to this forum were very helpful. Those members who populated this forum nine or ten years ago will...

For me, before I buy a car, I research several that I find appealing but a test drive of each on my short-list usually produces a winner and not always the one I really desired. With bikes, after my first foray into the world of EAPCs where I bought on a whim, I carefully researched the field...

It's now a couple of weeks since the publication of the Chilcot Report and in spite of the savage condemnation of Blair over his wilful disregard for UN policy, nothing seems to have happened. Perhaps naively, I felt confident that the morning after publication, I would read that Blair had been...

The acronym, BBC, has been around all my life and once upon a time it was deemed to be a fair and impartial broadcaster of news while its other departments provided us with sport, music and entertainment. That was a long, long time ago. Nowadays, with its compulsory licence fee income, its...

This little tale appeared on my computer screen today and it made me giggle. I'm sure others must have experienced similar outings with the kids when they were young so I attach a link to it. After Brexit, should it occur, such trips with the kids may be too expensive for all but the...

Well, if you had cycled all the way into town to pick up a few bits and bobs only to realise you'd forgotten to attach your pannier bags, would you really just go straight home? Tom

It's perfectly possible this bike has featured in the forum and I missed it but in case it hasn't had a mention, here's a link to a short advertising video: Tom

I'm not aware of how effective or otherwise this initiative has been in London or, indeed, anywhere else. Given the professional nature of much of the bicycle crime in the capital, I suspect the signs provide little deterrent effect but I suppose we can't blame the police for trying. Tom

Whatever! Tom

It seems there may be a growing anti-cyclist movement, perhaps, though not necessarily, limited to the capital. I was just about to throw out some old newspapers when I noticed this article which, though I'm sure many of you have read, I missed. On the basis that many drivers are pretty p'd...

Apparently, sales of hoverboards, recently discussed in Pedelecs, are likely to go through the roof this Christmas, in spite of the fact that the Fire Service has been able to identify them as the single cause of at least three house fires in recent times. There's an interesting report here of...

There's an article in the BBC web pages which might be worth a read: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p039d5x9 Tom

If you're thinking about some more lights or more powerful lights on your bike with fog and dark nights in many parts over the winter months, you may find one or two additions you'd like to fit among this little collection: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-34849850 Tom
