OK - bit of a moan/rant

but I'm just catching up with the F1 qualifying

and I watch a lot of cycle racing

If anyone starts a GoFundMe page to make those Peleton ads illegal then I would be tempted to contribute

They are seriously p*****g me off now

and don;t even mention bringing bleedin' thunder - what the f*** does THAT mean

It's probably a good job I don;t live in the USA - I probably would have shot the telly by now
What about the Echelon ads?

Ads full stop p me off. If I can avoid it, I don’t watch any commercial tv live, I record and FF through the ads. Can’t escape “embedded” ads of course.

Thanks for response. The Bosch mid-drive is highly recommended, in reviews, but....

Difficult decision, at £2,000+ it is not, for me, a “whim” decision, don’t really want to get it wrong. Then, there is the challenge of choosing an e-bike for Mrs @BoldonLad, getting that wrong could have REALLY serious consequences! ;)
Yep.......£2K is serious money.
If it came to a straight choice tomorrow it would be the Ribble
BTW..... they do a 'step through' version which is ideal for ladies but I am thinking about myself for practical reasons.

Are your plums safe?

There now follows a short period of silence whilst he ponders what to say next.
I covered them a bit earlier.......

A step through? I wasn’t aware of that. That May suite Mrs B. Thanks. At present we have Giant and Liv hybrids, which are fine, but, as the years advance, a bit of assistance would help. I did promise mrs B that we would switch to e-bikes at 75, now, suddenly, that is next year. How did that happen? ;)

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned on the forum...?

Peloton decided to branch out into treadmills but came up with a (literally!) potentially lethal design. Children and pets have been seriously injured or even killed by them. Peloton's response - the treadmills are perfectly safe if you keep children and pets out of the room while you are running! :cursing:

The problem is that the back of the motor-driven rubber belt that you run/walk on is not shrouded. Curious children or pets touching the belt can be dragged under the machine.

Yes, parents should keep an eye on their kids, but that doesn't mean it is okay to manufacture unsafe equipment. Why bother with guards on circular saws - just don't put your hands near them! :banghead:
