Most likely against the law and very dangerous to do so.

You've failed again Maggie.

It failed, why?  because it’s a stupid idea.  Your little world is crumbling. The climate crisis 😂

Sure, I read it.  It was crowd funded.  Investing in something doesn'always mean that you make money. I've never expected money back from something that has been crowd funded.I've also seen how HMRC expects money off you PDQ but can take ages to pay you back when they owe you.

Did you read it Philippa ? On Friday, Electric cargo bike delivery service Pedal Me went into administration after failing to reach an agreement with HMRC over debts. The same day, existing shareholders bought the business from administrators. The buyout has secured jobs for Pedal Me riders, but retail investors who invested in shares of the promising startup have been left EMPTY HANDED

How ironic that such a virtue signalling venture thinks it’s fine that whatever debt was owed to HMRC the admin wiped out.

You are so clearly wrong.

Philippa Bond ● 385d

They tried to say you could do removals. Ruth Mayorcas tried to say you do everything on a cargo bike . Clearly not. Never mind at least they tried.

One company.There are still cargo bikes carrying deliveries that can be seen locally.

Terrible, they really should remove that cycle lane on the back of this news.
