    Learner Drivers to be alowed on the Motorways?

    I don't mind cyclists riding two abreast for visibility – in fact, it is handy on twisty roads –-but I do expect them to then split to help ease traffic.

    Learner Drivers to be alowed on the Motorways?

    Indeed they should. I might turn a blind eye to children, but there are so many adults who ride on pavements, either because they are too lazy to follow the road around or because it is "safer". Well, it isn't safer for pedestrians if you're careering along at 10+ miles an hour.

    Learner Drivers to be alowed on the Motorways?

    Why? Those hazards should be properly addressed when learning on the road. I've never ridden a horse and I've no intention to ever ride one, but I have always given them plenty of space, treated them as any other road user and passed at a crawl. It's not rocket science. However, people...

    Learner Drivers to be alowed on the Motorways?

    I took my test in October 1988 and passed first time. I had waited five or six months from when my instructor advised (after not many) but as I wanted to do it where I lived, there was a delay. In that time, I got up to about 30 lessons, plus hundreds of miles of A road driving with my old man...

    Honey extractor cage lubrication

    If you're lubricating, you'll need a tube of food grade grease, for a start, like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/KENWOOD-FOOD-GRADE-GREASE-100G/dp/B000U1GAR6 (though others are available). Unfortunately, I don't know your model, but hopefully someone will be able to help you out.

    Hello from Germany

    Where in Germany are you, Christian? That's a big country. You might want to change your location on your profile. Welcome.

    Learner Drivers to be alowed on the Motorways?

    If there are no motorways, you can't do it. You can always use dual carriageway and treat it like a motorway (road conditions allowing).

    Learner Drivers to be alowed on the Motorways?

    I'd like to see those P plates in the UK. Also, a speed limit sticker, like in France that also prevents a new driver carrying passengers until their probation is up. After all, it's when these new drivers show off to their mates they will often do something stupid or have an accident.

    How do you clean your frames

    This is what i did recently in my Burco. It's mucky, but very efficient.

    Learner Drivers to be alowed on the Motorways?

    It's about time, as people do not know how to drive on fast roads. Now people will sit in the middle lane for miles and miles rather than change lanes and this is really dangerous. Perhaps we should have fewer lanes, like many foreign roads so you are compelled to return to the left lave after...

    Are these beekeepers out of order?

    Well, that's OK, then. Get the guy to take some pics of the robbing bees and you'll probably be able to identify them conclusively.

    Are these beekeepers out of order?

    It may well be influential, but there isn't a nailed on correlation.

    Are these beekeepers out of order?

    Now that is far better –-lateral thinking and well within the law.

    Are these beekeepers out of order?

    How can he be sure its as a result of either or both of those things? It could equally be due to poor weather or bad beekeeping.

    Are these beekeepers out of order?

    That is a disgraceful thought. Not to mention an illegal act. You should be ashamed of yourself.

    Stings and mean bee's

    I agree, it's very good, BUT on those hives that LOVE their propolis, it's a pain in the arse.

    Stings and mean bee's

    As you are less tense, you make fewer mistakes and don't bang the frames around so much, which they HATE.
