Just the potential speed that you could more consistently maintain on some electric bikes, I suppose - Bod has mentioned 30 mph. Although, of course, just because you can that doesn't mean you have to do so. If you're using your bike, even though power assisted, at speeds you are commonly quite used to without such assistance then I don't see that it would make a difference. And, now I come to think of it, that is the way I would approach things. Power assistance ceases at 15mph. |

Birdbrain Macaw (now "James Wilkinson" LOL), the Sociopathic Attention Whore

the pathological attention whore of all the uk ngs, blathered again: No, only those with ADHD. No, only those who have a properly functioning brain. Which definitely is not the case with you, Birdbrain! -- More from Birdbrain Macaw's (now "James Wilkinson" LOL) strange sociopathic world: "I go hillwalking barefoot for hours in the snow, my feet just go red. Extra blood, they can't freeze." MID: |

Birdbrain Macaw (now "James Wilkinson" LOL), the Sociopathic Attention Whore
On Thu, 12 Oct 2017 11:44:08 +0100, Birdbrain Macaw (now "James Wilkinson"),
the pathological attention whore of all the uk ngs, blathered again: I normally pootle along at a steady 15 -20mph, any speed above that just feels too fast down country lanes. We get deer running across the roads quite a lot so it would be insane to go any faster You must have a slow old brain then, because I'm comfortable going 30 (downhill of course). We know, you are also comfortable running red lights, speeding and intentionally frightening other road users, etc., sick sociopath! -- More from Birdbrain Macaw's (now "James Wilkinson" LOL) strange sociopathic world: "I go hillwalking barefoot for hours in the snow, my feet just go red.

We get deer running across the roads quite a lot so it would be insane to go any faster Okay, thanks for that. I think I'm getting this electric bicycle thing together now - there is, of course, far more to life than just increasing its speed. Speed is a lot of fun and everyone should use it. What a sick asshole! tsk -- More from Birdbrain Macaw's (now "James Wilkinson" LOL) strange sociopathic world: "I worked out that I often break TEN laws in one hour." MID: |

the pathological attention whore of all the uk ngs, blathered again: I do, because they look like ****ing morons and I wish to teach them a lesson. As for those who have flashing headlights during broad daylight, well I give them the same back. Sick idiot! tsk -- More of Birdbrain Macaw's from (now "James Wilkinson" LOL) deep thinking: "Prisoners of war is a stupid idea. Just kill them. Why save the enemy?

Unfortunately the bus did not turn left. Maybe the rider concerned worked out what it was going to do from other clues. The front wheels are usually reliable indicators. Yes. Be visible, predictable and observant. Oh? I always work on the basis that I am not visible. I prefer the observe method. True. But I try to be visible and assume others have not seen me despite that. |
