Renton 21635 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 35 minutes ago, Dr Gloom said: about 5-6 miles Similar to mine, maybe a bit less. Let me know how it goes, I'm happy driving at the minute, but if I lose my parking space I'm not happy using public transport. I suspect that distance is a big too far mind, especially in winter.

I always hoped there was a really junior British bloke on the writing staff that suggested it and has been laughing his cock off ever since. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furious, I almost throw my flat white at the aggressive lorry driver but think of better of it when it dawns on me I would have to retrieve my keep cup from oncoming traffic. Undeterred, I continue, dreaming of my morning kale smoothie 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 21939 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 (edited) they are really no more dangerous than push bikes, so i don't see why that should be the case. there has been one escooter death in the UK to date, i think. their speed is limited to about 15mph. i have had a go on one and the thing i noticed was how much faster the racer bikes are - the lycra twats fly past you.
