HI I have a really old Bernina that is still working & I love using but it needs a service. The foot is sticking and and continues on its own and the motor seems slower than it should be . Do you service Bernina? what do you charge? Its a Bernina 730 and about 40 years Old! -
and Daisburys will make even more money on the tin that you buy you buy to put in Trolley. -
Did I say that? I'm not sure why adults cycle on the pavement beyond the odd short cut, for a few metres, and even then walk the bike if there are people on it. I don't condone unsafe riding. I don't feel the need to go on about it, feel it gets disproportionate coverage when there are other issues, and that there is a sense that from some "oh the poor motorist" and "its all those cyclists fault" that the "poor motorist is being victimised". I could post dozens of stories of dangerous driving that have affected me, I see it every day, but don't feel the need, and would of course have to balance this with the fact that most road users happily share space. I've asked some good questions about how you address 'antisocial cycling" but nobody has offered any answers - as this is a forum I'd be keen to understand. The Old Street enforcement is pretty rare and I doubt whether this will make much of a difference unless the police role this out wider. They wont. There is no political will. I've been stopped by the police cycling maybe three times in twenty years, twice to invite me into the cab of a HGV as part of a safer cycling campaign, and once as they were doing security marking. I've seen plenty of dangerous driving in plain view of police officers, more often than not illegal ebikes and food delivery riders. Interesting reading a MPS FOI on cycling enforcement, 52 FPN in 5 years for cycling on pavements, therefore either it hardly happens or it is a low priority https://www.met.police.uk/foi-ai/metropolitan-police/d/september-2022/fixed-penalty-notices-issued-cycling-offences-london-january2017-august2022/ Row Labels 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 Grand Total Cycling on footway 358 258 297 460 552 174 2099 Pedal cycle - contrave traffic sign 4 74 246 158 66 548 Pedal cycle - contravening automatic traffic signals 2445 2445 Pedal cycle - contravening constable on traffic duty 3 1 4 PEDAL CYCLE - CONTRAVENING DIRECTION GIVEN BY POLICE CONSTABLE / TRAFFIC SURVEY 3 1 1 5 Pedal cycle - contravening traffic signs 72 72 Pedal cycle - contravening warden on traffic duty 1 2 3 Pedal cycle - failing to stop for a police constable 17 11 16 18 24 10 96 Pedal cycle - lights not conforming or lit during hours of darkness 65 80 93 122 90 31 481 Pedal cycle - riding where prohibited 4 12 1 17 Pedal cycle - unauthorised passenger 1 2 6 6 3 2 20 Pedal cycle - without lights being fitted 8 6 2 9 13 4 42 Ride a pedal cycle on a footpath / causeway by the side of a road made / set apart for the use of foot passengers 9 16 14 13 52 Ride a pedal cycle on a road and fail to comply with the indication given by a traffic sign/light 3548 5893 4490 4751 2324 21006 Grand Total 2970 3928 6392 5369 5607 2624 26890
