  1. Wales 20mph limit starts Sept 17th - a heads-up

    Move along...... Nothing to see here...... Overhaul!!!!!:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: The 2009 Guidance is out of date. It is being updated LINK. In January 2024 the WG said "A local speed limit can be set to meet local needs and considerations. This includes areas where it is desirable to drive at a...
  2. Wales 20mph limit starts Sept 17th - a heads-up

    Unfortunately, it's due to the failure of a large number of people to understand the legislation as enacted. The media hyperbole has not helped, stoking some sort of culture war when it's simply not necessary. Speed limits throughout the UK are covered by the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984...
  3. Wales 20mph limit starts Sept 17th - a heads-up

    Such a storm in a teacup! All councils can already change the speed limits if the need/want to (and many have done so). The new law just sped up the process of bringing in 20mph limits in urban areas. For example, in Cardiff, when the new law came in last year only 24 streets in the city...
  4. Wales 20mph limit starts Sept 17th - a heads-up

    I'd read that Sir Gâr have lots of "exceptions". Just looked at their map, and if you're going north from Nantgaredig, it says the plan is for the 40 to stay the same, then national, no restriction at Felingwmisaf, a new 30 to 20 to 30 through Felingwmuchaf and a new 30 to 20 to 30 through...
  5. Wales 20mph limit starts Sept 17th - a heads-up

    Lovely drive for you, I'm jealous! I haven't had to go to Aber yet. I've been surprised at how many "30" roads there still are all over Flintshire, Wrexham and Denbighshire. I looked into it on the Flintshire Council website (because their map is easy to find!), and apparently if the 30 limit...
  6. Wales 20mph limit starts Sept 17th - a heads-up

    I live in Wales and am all for it. Had a school friend killed crossing the road, and another hit and bounced over two cars but survived. Speed cushions have helped in our village. Many through routes will remain at 30mph, but the default for built up area will be 20mph. Signage will be clear...

  8. 4 new Arosfan (aires) coming to Gwynedd this summer

    I think @campervanannie posted about this plan when first mooted a couple of years ago, but I can't find the thread sorry! Permission has finally been granted for four “Arosfan” sites in Doc Fictoria in Caernarfon; Y Glyn in Llanberis; Y Maes in Cricieth and Cei’r Gogledd in Pwllheli. The...
  9. Electric bike/trike

    I've just messaged him to ask about the size. I'll let you know. Drosi Bikes are in Llangollen (very close to the Corn Mill), it might be worth just asking them for advice before you commit to buying a bike, their conversions are excellent. I have no experience of converting a trike, especially...
  10. Electric bike/trike

    This is the kit I fitted to our tandem for less than £400. https://www.yosepower.co.uk/products/e-bike-conversion-kit-36v250w-front-motor-36v15-6ah-hl-plus-battery You'd probably need the same front wheel kit for a trike (you need to check your front wheel size). Yose Power is a reputable...

    Indeed.... and all at the same time!! ;)

    BEST BUDGET SADDLE according to Mrs W. We have 4 of them! https://www.sportsdirect.com/muddyfox-tour-saddle-937821#colcode=93782103
  14. Electric bike/trike

    Sorry, just realised my mistake. It's Mrs Wheelie's e-bike that weighs 24kg. I've just weighted our 2017 "Carrera Cross City Folding Electric Bike" and it's 19.2kg, but that's still too heavy to put in the car very often, and we both find the fold mechanism very stiff. But it's had A LOT of use...
  15. Electric bike/trike

    I converted our tandem with a kit which has worked brilliantly, and means we can hill start without the risk of falling off (into a hedge... true story!) Might be worth thinking about if you can get a trike...
  16. Electric bike/trike

    Does it have to be an electric trike? I have a friend who is thinking of selling his folding Jorvik trike (non-electric).
  17. Electric bike/trike

    Our folding e-bike (Halfords) weighs 24kg including battery, and is heavy to lift, so we have 2 non-electric folding bikes (14kg each) which we use for "nipping to the shop" and they fit in the motorhome garage or car boot very easily. We also have various normal bikes, an e-bike each, and a...
  18. The C&MC and use of electricity.

    Thank you so much. Cancelled! (Well, waiting for a reply to the emailed form...... if one ever materialises.)
  19. The C&MC and use of electricity.

    I cant find the cancellation form. I've cancelled my Direct Debit, but probably need to tell them too. Can you point me in the direction of the form? Everything I can find just tells me to phone them, but then I'd have no record of it. Thanks.
  20. The C&MC and use of electricity.

    Done! Thanks for the link.
