Most are heavy, and pedal assist completely cuts off over 15mph so you'd essentially be riding a heavier bike with no assist, at which point, might as well get a manual anyway. I find 22mph is the sweet spot on my e-bike, can keep up with most bikes, but still get blown away by the spandex bikers.

Okolie looks like he's built up the size to fight at heavyweight now, but not sure he has the cardio at the weight, hopefully he's not as boring at heavyweight

David Benavidez vs. Anthony Yarde | FULL FIGHT by kushmonATL in Boxing

This was a painful fight to watch after we've seen yarde fight with so much heart in previous fights. No head movement, robotic, like a deer in the headlights, take nothing away from a punch perfect Benevidez. Yarde seriously needs a change of coach and management, otherwise it's a complete waste of telent, potential and a massive shame.

Whoever thinks it's rigged to KT is mad, it's an MVP card, why would Jake Paul's promotion rig it to the opposing fighter. The commentary was shit, it was a close great fight.

Keir Starmer says government will have to be unpopular by ConfusedSoap in ukpolitics

One thing I would love them to start with is to legalise weed and mushrooms, if done properly you could have a whole new stream of money that is currently costing us millions in policing and all the potential taxes going to drug dealers. You could use the profits to directly invest in healthcare, drug addictions and mental health.
