Private cars remain the biggest hazard to our health, by far.

I'm not sure I agree.
I am at more danger on the roads by those riding chipped ebikes who have neither the skill to handle them, the ability to obey traffic laws and ride at double the speed of other vehicles in cycle lanes where riders expect to be amongst much slower moving traffic.


With motor vehicles, the biggest risk to health is the pollution from them, but this is being reduced all the time with the move away from the ICE

The forthcoming fuel shortages will clear the roads a bit for us. Expect though to have all manner of numpties riding into work.

It will make the problems worse are more people will be riding chipped ebikes that they have not got the skills for and will be riding them in the segregated lanes as well

Ok
It's the yellow model with the shifters with the ears , the lh has the window cover missing.thecwheels have seen better days and the cables look tatty. Not even checked the chain wear yet! It is the right size 😄

Cool - sounds like it might make a decent utility hack perhaps...?

I agree the time was 6 years or so ago, but we can't just let the situation get worse and do nothing - ok, we can, but that achieves nothing

The difficulty is that now there are so many illegal electric motorcycles that the practicalities of removing them from circulation are not trivial.
