I have watched the Justice for Harry movement grow first hand as the mother is an old school friends BFF. The momentum it has gathered since the first FB post is impressive and really highlights the power behind social media.

The power for people to mistakenly think writing shit on a website makes an actual difference?

Yup. Unfortunately its not just Blizzard, China has investment in ALOT of large gaming companies, its essentially allowing China to Trojan horse its way into the USA through companies.

Yes, totally worth it. Done it 3 times this year (walked it once too). Great ride - one of the best in Britain.

Was at the top of Helvellyn with my bike yesterday - carried from Grizedale Tarn to Dollywagon Pike. *so* worth it.

Inexperienced ebikers are going to fuck access for everyone though - they tool up and charge down without any thought to walkers - and on one of the busiest mountains in blighty that's dangerous.

I am sure theres a few non ebikers who bomb down scaring the bejesus out of walkers.

Absolutely.

I call it the 5% rule. 5% of everyone is a cunt - walkers, bikers, drivers.

Problem I have with ebikes (apart from they (provably) do fuck all for the health of all but the previously totally-sedentary) - is the n00b thing.

To explain: I'd been biking ten years before I had my first go at Snowdon. In that time I'd developed a (still woefully inadequate) skillset and a knowledge of how to act safely - both for myself and the people around me. Add to that I'd built up a level of fitness too, which is important for safety and control.

Ebikes, conversely, allow the completely inexperienced access to things non-powered cyclists would, in general, not attempt until they get to a level. This presents problems both up and down.

Uphill: ebikers are at massive advantage in terms of speed - the analogy I'd draw would be someone in a motorway slow lane being passed by someone speeding - but worse because in percentage speed difference terms ebikers pass at, say, three times the speed or, worse, and they can ride up stuff simply *not possible* without power assist. This results in collisions in tight spaces (multiple times now because the noobs don't seem to have developed caring - they see other people as wankers who hold them up - a bit like some car drivers see cyclists). It also means increased corrosion of trails as the heavier bikes tear them up. In terms of obstacles - we now have two-way traffic on previously one-way trails - and the inexperienced traffic doesn't feel the urgency in removing themselves from a dangerous equation that non-powered cyclists do (and that walkers can do trivially when looking uphill).

Downhill: is a whole kettle of more dangerous fish - especially on rocky, loose, slippy, steep dangerous high mountains - because stopping in control may not even be possible. Multiply that by the number of years you've not been practicing that, and double the weight of the bike. AND - ebikes don't help you on the downs - this is crucial as descending on a mountain bike is fucking knackering. Your heart rate can hit the highs of climbing - and that has massive knock-on to your ability to control what you're doing.

So, in Snowdon's case, ebikes are the perfect storm of lack of fitness, lack of experience, heavier machines on busy rocky mountain trails. They are danger-enablers.

There are absolutely good things about them - but I don't like the mountain bike varients in particular for these (and more) reasons.

Been drinkin' so if the above don't make much sense let me know

 

[Gwadien]

There's a reason why motorbikes can't go up places like that, ebikes are practically motorbikes.

By far the most bikes were manuals and 100% of the nutters going downhill were manuals.
The few ebikes were old men and the Llanberis path is far too tricky for them, plus they are too old and responsible to ride down like idiots.

Woman banned from Asda for three years after row with shop assistant

She said: “He was rude and didn’t listen to what I had to say and said the reason I was banned was because I had been racist."

Ms Bryan denies the accusation, adding: “I’m not a racist, I had an ex-boyfriend who was black.”

The racist bit is odd, has she just added that for publicity or left it out of the original confrontation.
Either way..if she was racist Id love to hear what she said.
All you. 'Insert minority'..are all the same, with your ID requests.

Some kind of clamp? Actually it looks quite useful; I assume you can move the pins around into different holes to hold on to awkward shapes.
