Our council wheelie bin is marked "89 dB" which I assume is part of some official noise rating system. I can see that the information is limited and a test in lab conditions doesn't allow for the way the collection team throw it around, shout to each other or the noise of their lorry at 0...

"About 10 years away." (Has been for the last 30 years or so )

AFAIK (or can remember :roll: ) The relevant bit: most people will notice 3dB change in level, 1dB is pushing it (as already implied above). Background: the Bel is a logarithmic ratio, originally used by the Bell Telephone Co. to measure losses in transmission lines. Technically, you should also sta...

‘Bents Are awesome fun to ride... +1, and comfortable over longer distances. Velomobiles are another level of speed (esp. downhill) and noise (except wind noise) then add lots of weather protection (with the potential to get 'rather warm' in summer). Weight affects uphill speed, except for 'rolling...

Reversing: Look where you're going. Turn round and look out of the back window. :D I understand that some cars aren't so good at being able to see backwards. If so, don't buy one. From what I observe, many drivers are incapable of Turn round and look out of the back window. :roll: regardless of how...

Is this bridge under threat from the Monks Farm development ?? I am trying to get a clear idea about what will be lost, for cyclists, by the the recent approval of this "IKEA & homes" development. No, that's not directly affected. What's lost to NMU's is a single stage, traffic light ...

Always liked the camera on my old Nokia 620 (6.1 x 1.1 x 11.5 cm) not to mention the separate button to operate it

Or, I suppose as long as you only ride your Revo powered bicycle inside the tyre should wear as with a turbo-trainer. Fair point! I should also add that putting out 250W continuous is way beyond the realms of fa...
