Britain’s illegal e-bike boom: desperation, delivery drivers – and unthinkable danger
E-bikes can legally travel at 15.5mph. But the fastest the police have seized was capable of 70mph. What will stop the rise of these souped-up and potentially fatal vehicles?

The Internet lies about slow cookers. Just had 7 hour roast lamb from one, browned in the outside, fell apart from the bone, delicious.
Cooked on high for two hours, added garlic, leeks, herbs and wine, then 5 hours on low.
No pre browning nonsense.

Is there a (German?) word for the feeling you get when you close the loft hatch perfectly with one push? No need to use the hook, and with no noise?

“According to the finance ministry’s calculations, the cost to society of trips by car is close to one euro/km. On the other hand, every km travelled by bike yields societal gains of 60 euro cents thanks to the health benefits of cycling, transport efficiency gains, & lower infrastructure spending.”

Oxfordshire's road casualties are down 22.4% compared to just 3.1% in the wider South East!
We've gone 20mph across a huge amount of the county, which will have been a major contributing factor.
This is a huge policy success for the County Council IMO (1/2)

The London Overground line renaming is triggering a lot of the same responses that many other changes (e.g. cycle lanes) trigger. People with little understanding getting angry, and amplifying each other's anger. And getting even angrier when facts are explained.

In my job (Greenway maintenence) we've removed about 100 barriers in the past couple of years. A big objection was always that it would lead to more motorbikes on paths, but that has almost never been the case, instead it has lead to more people using paths.
