I have just found a company producing brackets for certain ebikes that replace redundant mid drive motors with a standard bottom bracket. With inbuilt obsolescence having crept into cycling via ebike tech, this is extremely welcome.

Colorado man advocating for traffic light dies in crash at same intersection where wife was killed A man who spent two years pushing for a traffic light at the Cherry Hills–Greenwood Village intersection where his wife was killed in 2024 died Monday in a two‑vehicle crash at the same location.

it's really understated how horrific car killings are

EAV, VOK, Mubea. The really bike 4w "bikes" are bike in law only.

So many of the bigger cargo cycles work on the same principle. All the pedals do is activate a sensor. The machine could be throttle activated in half an hour of work.

So much will be said about all this in the coming days, but IMO the biggest takeaway is that James Watt and Martin Dickie each pocketed more than the price BrewDog was eventually sold for, while 500 hardworking staff are now out of a job & 220k equity punks don't get a dime.

Absolute charlatans.

🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.

This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.

Israel did this with 'Waltz with Bashir'. A good film, but lousy politics.

Why is Spock on the Death Star

It's like slipping on gammon tinted glasses. A glimpse of a bitter nostalgia world.

Obama assassinated bin Laden, so naturally Trump has to have his own 'enemy of the West' killed. There's not a shred of originality, but endless insecurity to him.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

No one better sums up the dimness and sheer vacuity of the modern Left than the new MP for Gorton and Denton. There she is in her blue jeans and trendy trainers dancing awkwardly as Muslim men who dream of wrapping her sinful body in a black cloak look on with restrained fury

Just finished the Behind the Bastards episodes on the impact of Jeffrey Epstein. And like a takeway is that he started funding anti-trans research because he allegedly SA'd a trans girl (she was 16 at the time) who turned around and sued his ass for it and he was mad that she sued him.

This was a peak 90's advert.

I doubt 99% of Green voters would appreciate being tarred like that. Absolutely witless comment by Starmer.

Going after the fuckwit market.
