  • @toniwilliams7193

    Hi Mike I was just wondering if you could help me. When applying for fostering do they speak with family members outside of my home? What if I have no relationship with a sibling? Do I need to declare this? Thanks Toni

    • @Miketyler
      @Miketyler 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi Toni, thanks for asking. Families can be complicated and an assessor should appreciate that. Relationships will be explored, including relationships with peers, siblings, parents etc. it’s important to be honest, in my experience, trying to hide things will be more worrying to the assessor than actual difficulties in a relationships. Hope that helps.

I wont be tearing around the place I was set on the CXR but then found the ADV 8.9 and think this would be better but I am so new to this?

    • @Miketyler
      @Miketyler ปีที่แล้ว

      Morning, thank for your comment. I've looked at the specs for the CXR 8.9 and it looks very good! However, I have never ridden one. I have had a couple of road bikes previously and I personally find them quite scary! 😂😂 I also had a lower spec Cyclo-cross Boardman some years ago (I can't recall the model), and although I liked it, and it was faster on the roads than the ADV, I still prefer the ADV as I feel it is a bit more forgiving and gentle the wider wheels and fatter tires. I try to avoid main roads, I prefer riding on tracks and cycle routes, and most of the time, it's with my children. So I think it really depends on the riding you are going to do. I would love to know other people's thoughts on this? Maybe Halfords will loan me one to test!? 😂😂🥰🥰

      This is a UK road legal bike, So they are all the same. You have to pedal for the motor to give assistance. When you buy them they give assistance up to 15 mph, anything faster than that is pedal power. You can download an app to increase the speed by changing the region/ country.
