    I've had an e-City for almost two years, and I've done over 6500km commuting across Christchurch. Now I'm 65+, the never ending easterly wind was getting too much to handle, but the e-bike has kept me happily bike commuting - and kept my car in the garage.

    I agree, I have my "honest bike" ready to go at all times, especially sunny Sunday afternoons.

    I bought that exact model in December 2014, after realising that the Christchurch easterly was destroying my enjoyment of cycling. In a year of biking (13km each way), I did 6500km - and filled my car 4 times.

    I thought being homophobic was a character defect, which could be cured by education and cognitive therapy. But apparently it's now a crime, subject to legal sanctions. When did that happen?

    Right on, Emma - great points, well made. You're the first I've heard discussing the "Why insist on bad sex?" angle, that should make people stop and think.

    "Trougher" is a Slaterism, but it only applies to the left. National list MPS like Kanwaljit Bakshi or Joanne Hayes (did I hear someone ask "who"?) are never described that way.

    It's made in Germany - and it shows.
