The best ever ‘retro’ cycling product?

They are urinating in the wind. So long as the BBC, The Telegraph, and even the Police continue deliberately to muddy the waters by calling motorbikes ebikes, the public will forever associate ebikes and their riders with stories of idiots on Sur-Rons and tar all with the same brush.

Why could VW not simply have rescued Fazua from the slippery clutches of their subsidiary Porsche?

@jh2727 if only there were a way of separating where high volumes of (increasingly heavy) vehicles operate (which as you say aren't so affected by said potholes, but are vastly more effective at causing them) and where cyclists ride... One practical issue (even if we "went Dutch" in separating modes) is around damage from buses. It's easy to spot the bus stops * due to the waves they produce in the roads at these points. I don't know if that's inevitable, or due to particularly shoddy road construction or drivers stopping too rapidly... Of course if the buses are in bus *lanes* that shouldn't be an issue - because no professional transport planners would try to mix buses and cyclists as they're quite incompatible modes! 🤔 * At least around my area in Edinburgh even without shelters, signs or painted markings.

Maybe with a few more ideas like this I might stop thinking "diesel emissions" every time I hear their name.

Matt's shoes are filthy

@Pub bike Thoroughly agree with that, until the scrotes know that the police have the capacity to keep up with them they will just keep on taking the piss with impunity.

@jh2727 It was closed for repairs as it regularly is because it's falling apart, but no works were actually taking place at the time of the CM ride.

Lancashire Constabulary must find it difficult to recruit enough bad apples to support their present modi operandi.

Within a week the stickers will have been copied and shared between people / repairing electric motorbikes.

While applauding the concept, I hope they didn't shell out too much to the branding agency that came up with that logo - it's not exactly rivalling the likes of the kitemark, lion mark, Fair Trade logo, etc. for recognisability.
