Government failed to grasp the nettle, allowing illegal bikes on the road, grey imports etc.  So their response is to simply roll over and allow more powerful assisted bikes and twist and go full electric.  https://cyclingindustry.news/cycling-industry-alarm-at-government-ebike-regs-consultation/

Do respond to the consultation, I have

I'd love to hear informed comments including those who think this is a good thing.  Cheers

Good news for the Deliveroo/Uber delivery riders.

Bad news for the fire brigade

Bad news for pedestrians

Good news for those who think e-bikes need to be registered

And given the reaction from them, clearly bad news for the UK bike/e-bike manufacturing industry that clearly isn't ready to support these new bigger e-bikes and/or sees market share erosion to them putting yet more pressure on the troubled bike manufacturing industry.

Thing is, I did a quick search and it seems there may be ways to soup up e-bikes without it being obvious they are modified. Therefore, it seems policing on speed, penalties etc.., just as for cars, may be necessary? have not read link yet. If this is already on the cards then good.

    • Dog kennel isn't a great name for a school. I agree that it's ridiculous for the name to put anyone off going there, but don't see any issue with them rebranding if the parents and children prefer a new name. The school is surrounded by historical 'groves' (reflected in the names of Camberwell Grove, Grove park and Grove Vale for example), so it's not a totally random name. 
    • It might help if there are body cams to record evidence and a presence maybe a deterrent but I very much doubt a park warden would intervene with obnoxious and violent thugs - children or not. We need police for that.  
    • I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!  
    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!
