It's an interesting idea that roads are what they are due to a vehicle that most drivers despise being in their way. What is more interesting it that designing 'out' the bicycle from the road is a relatively recent thing. In

Bria 4 was released in 2014. Bria 5 has been around since Jun 2017. I'd definitely give the company a break here.

I really don't see this as screwing over Mac users. The guy has a v4 (released Apr 2014). The new v5 (released Jun 2017) has been around for some months. This really is not 'screwing' over Mac users. You've made a choice

Many countries already have a form of age restricted UBI. The state pension. I know many pensioners in the UK that work as the state pension does not provide 'enough'.

I think you mis-understand UBI. UBI enables 'survival' within the country. It will just about pay for a room and basic food. You want to eat steak, you will need to get a job.

I used to keep young seedlings covered, but anything big they ignored but happily hunted all day. On an allotment I would suspect you would need to pen your allotment using a flexible electric fence IF people objected to chickens invading t

Chickens are the answer my friend ;) Seriously they are brilliant and the eggs are just this great bonus. The more insects they eat the tastier the eggs! You do need to visit them at least once per day, however auto-feeders and automatic co

I suspect longer ranges are possible with intermediary interchange stations, covering the drones in solar panels, and increasing wing span/loading capacity. The concept is proven. Now they just need to upgrade the drones to create high

I think below 40, employees have multiple roles where you are expected to think on your feet. It attracts a certain type of person. Above 40, you are a cog in the machine. You really need to keep to your role and the company succeeds becaus

I'd recommend multiple bikes. Ebikes can be inherently boring to go for a long ride on as you are essentially free-wheeling. Nothing quite like the quiet of the road as you are cycling along. Ebikes always make a whirring noise. As a w

Electric bikes are not as easy to take apart and sell on. (I'm sure I'll be proved wrong.) I have a gold standard D-Lock that is side mounted on the frame (weight not an issue) that I use when parking up. There is also a dutch sty

I'd still go with whatever your local bike shop stocks. They do go wrong at some point and you will need a repair and even a courtesy bike while it gets repaired. Shipping a bike is not fun.

Cost me £1700 (about €2000). High-end Mid-drive motors pushing 75nm+ are expensive. Bosch Pro CX line and Shimano Steps are the other two types available. If you start looking around, you see the cheaper mid-drive, i.e. Bosch Active Line st

Also something to consider is that I can happily cycle 2-3 hours on a flatish route on a normal bike, but will find hilly routes something I do not do. On my eBike I'll happily explore hills without thinking about it. Given that my eBi

Buying an eBike is a lot about choosing the motor you want then hunting down a bike that uses the motor. I would strongly suggest that you buy from your local bike shop and buy the brand that the bike shop normally stocks. My pick was the B

Residential roads are usually a destination where kids play in the road or even become good cycle routes as the speed profile of the roads are designed to enable social cohesion. The original purpose of the road has been 'lost' as

Transport planning is about developing road networks around specific purposes. So a major route would have a higher speed profile than a residential road. Residential roads with lower speed profiles also sometimes expect children to be play

Anybody have a link to the actual company? I also think they've missed the key use for this. Modelling traffic movements through a space. Many villages/residential areas suffer from speeding and rat running, but getting a local au

I'm sorry, why would you be using React etc unless you wanted virtual DOM and JSX. Much of why I like React is precisely because it has those features. This really makes no sense to me.

Ok I'm confused. Yes the journey is normally 6 hours, but the bus takes an 8 hour longer route. I've tried sleeper buses and one of the problems can be the odd pothole nudging you awake. I'd be happier for a bus to take the m
