@Mollie_Malone1 has the latest
@ClarkeMicah@WilliamofKent Aren’t all pedals a disguised throttle?
Pedal faster bike go faster
Pedal slower bike go slower
Are you a complete idiot?
Is this your car?
@freespeechmarty@JeremyVineOn5 Wrong, wrong and wrong!
UK motorways have generally about half the fatalities of Germany's Autobahns!
Very few of Germanys Autobahns are without a speed limit!
Most German towns have adopted 30mph (20mph) speed limits as standard
@MrHussar@JeremyVineOn5 With a million uninsured drivers, 1600 deaths, 125,000 injuries and driving standards clearly getting worse, are bikes the real problem?
@Slightly_Magic@ClarkeMicah@DaiGiff Because it does not meet the legal requirements or EU standards to be a Motorcycle!
Motorcycles are engineered to much higher standards and not restricted to 15.5 mph or a 250w motor. A hairdryer uses more electricity!
@and62587@ClarkeMicah@DaiGiff That’s because it is a car and meets all required legislation.
A Citroen Ami looks like a car but is NOT because it doesn’t meet all the required legislation.
But can be driven by 16 year olds on the road!
@SiSiso077@ClarkeMicah e-bikes are limited to assist to 15.5 mph which can easily be achieved on any bike!
Are you suggesting banning all bikes then?
As a 19 stone man on a normal bike my mass is more than a 12 stone man on an e-bike!
Are you suggesting only slim people can ride bikes?
@ClarkeMicah Do you know what this is? It’s NOT a car!
It can be legally driven by 16 year olds on all U.K. roads except Motorways.
But it is NOT a car
@HowardCCox Why do you feel you need to constantly watch the speedo at 20mph but NOT at 30mph or 40 mph? Bit weird!
If you cannot control your vehicle then please surrender your license!
Emissions do NOT increase at lower speeds!
And before you go there…cars are engineered to go at 20 mph
@HowardCCox Crikey! One lot of Motorists claim that the 20 mph is just a money making scheme and here you are saying that it costs money to enforce!
Try to get together at some stage and sort out which one you are going with!
