Labour manifesto states large investment into childcare, so I doubt anyone is going to pay more and would probably pay less.

"We will reverse cuts to Sure Start and
create a new service, Sure Start Plus,
with enough centres to provide a
genuinely universal service, available
in all communities, focused on the
under-2s.
Within five years, all 2, 3 and 4-year-
olds will be entitled to 30 hours of free
preschool education per week and
access to additional hours at affordable,
subsidised rates staggered with
incomes. Labour will also work to extend
childcare provision for 1-year-olds
and to ensure that childcare provision
accommodates the working patterns
of all parents.
We will improve child development by
transitioning to a qualified, graduate-
led workforce. We value the experience
of current early years workers, and will
offer free training to the workforce to
attain these qualifications on the job.
Achieving this vision will require
significant investment. We will increase
funding and end the fragmentation
of the current system by funding
providers directly, making things
simpler and more sustainable for
both parents and providers.
We will recruit nearly 150,000 additional
early years staff, including Special
Educational Needs Co-ordinators, and
introduce a national pay scale, driving
up pay for the overwhelmingly
female workforce.
Maintained nursery schools provide a
proven, high-quality service but they
are under threat from Tory cuts. We will
provide sustainable, long-term funding
to secure their future."

"The Labour leader will also outline Labour’s plans to radically expand free childcare to 30 hours a week for all 2-4 year olds, which will save families thousands of pounds a year."

Interesting to see undecided voters getting more and more put off by Boris.
Still alot of just wanting brexit to be sorted out by whatever means though.

Surprisingly low on labour

Green 44%
Lib Dem 33%
Labour 22%

The drop in lib dem and the rise in Labour seems to show corbyns approach is working in some respect for remain voters. If anything I'd say his 'extreme' nationalisation heavy manifesto is what's keeping remain tories and fiscal lib dems away, most of them just can't imagine voting for him even with brexit.

"Business rates are causing real issues
for high-street retailers and others.
A Labour government will review
the option of a land value tax on
commercial landlords as an
alternative and develop a retail
sector industrial strategy."

The conservatives are also promising 10 an hour this parliament so doesn't matter too much who they vote for. Labour plan to revaluated business rates to less hurt small high Street business

It says it weighs 75kg empty and its massive, noones pulling that on the pavement

From what @amey has written on here before his partner is an occasional commuter, but doesnt ride that regularly.
On a well fitting cargo with reasonable standover height for a shorter person i assume they'd be fine. Guessing this cargo is more baby duties than carrying 100kg of archive boxes.

If only omnium made a smaller/step through frame i wouldn't see a problem, especially as the steering feels more 'normal' than a lot of other cargoes.

I had a friend probably about that height who managed on a small mini-max. Wouldn't recommend it for a none confidant cyclist tho, lack of standover height will be a real problem

I feel like having 12 locations this time might have stretched them too thin, seems not enough people to hold sites this time, though the dose of british rain may have helped with that. Hearing reports police are moving to clear one of the bridges already.

They always take loads more than the stated. Problems usually occur with snapped spokes or chains rather than the frame.

the guys on a power trip and hates couriers riding into "his" loading bay so made up some stupid rules to punish all cyclists.

Must be @dimi3, hardly get to ride anything but cargo these days

the words also say it was on a pedestrian crossing, when that is not a pedestrian crossing.

Unless you mean when you forget a spanner to undo the track nuts

Huh? taking a wheel out of trackends takes seconds

grab me one as well if you want to share postage?

451 (which for some reason Jumbo keeps putting on full builds) doesn't have many tyre choices.
Most people get a hub built on a normal 406 bmx rim which has loads to choose from
