What hasn't moved on and will not, is that anything motorised above 25 kph (15.5mph) has to be registered as a motor vehicle. I've explained this repeatedly, including in this thread.
A legal 15mph is slow but steady.
my bike is geared for 35mph on the flatI was very annoyed yesterday at being overtaken going downhill by a guy wearing lycra, riding a racer (I miss my old racer) - I was doing about 27mph and he shot past me. My gearing had topped out, I couldn't match his speed. But then we were on going uphill, and then the flat portion of the race he was unaware of happening, and I just about caught up with him before the traffic lights...
them race bikes dont stand a chance with me up there ass
Are you an outlaw?!?!??my bike is geared for 35mph on the flat
Did your mate get back the remains of his bike, after crashing into that barrier at 30+mph? What's the latest?plod dont care been zooming round going 30mph since 2014
WTF?!?! NO CHARGES?!?!? The plod must have thought he'd suffered enough? That can't be it - filling out paperwork might have been too difficult for them? Most coppers seem to be ex-squaddies, many of which are barely literate? (Apologies to ex-squaddies on this board, who may be the exception).
It's mad that it's only his battery that's getting charged, wow. The plod really don't care. They certainly don't care about all the more dangerous illegal electric scooters on roads either, which I see everywhere.
...then all you need to worry about is your spine - get this and tell everyone you're Batman at intersections:we have gangs of kids on scooters round here and cause chaos and plod dont care they even get there parents to hire the fkn things for them.
why do you think i put hand guards on my bike
Can't be fun being invisible in photos - it's tough being a vampire these technologically advanced times...
I know - we've been here before haven't we? I know - it's not going to happen. I'm simply putting forward an alternative view from a cyclist. I can't have what I want right now - I'm not going to buy an electric motor bike, with all that entails. I'm not going to buy an ugly 25+ kg electric moped.
ebikes are terrible for fitness - at least that's been my experience, I was much fitter as a slow jogger, but that's my own fault for using too high electrical assistance (to reduce knee pain) and ceasing slow jogging (which reduces knee pain), which I've restarted. Otherwise my manner of use of this ebike, will allow my fitness to further decline...
Nobody would get fat, if they only ate very small amounts of crap.
That's frantic!
So if you'd had the same accident as your mate, you'd be on the other side of the barrier, looking at your feet left torn off on the bike?
