Dalston Goes French
I know that De Beauvoir Town, where I live, is next to Dalston’s Kingsland Road, which is the local High Street, but surely for the local Marks and Spencer to sell sandwiches labelled in French is going a bit far.
What would the Rees-Moggies say of this?
Brompton’s Electric Bicycle
Brompton were promoting their new electric bicycle at Kings Cross.
It looks a neat front wheel drive, pedal-assisted design.
At nearly £3,000, it would only be a bike for a serious commuter. Although, I suspect many will buy one to potter around their local area.
What I found interesting was that the battery weighs three kilograms and has a capacity of 0.3 kWh.
This energy density is very much in line with the most efficient, large traction batteries in road vehicles, trains and trams.
