It’s for people who find using a trackpump difficult. Or who need to be able to store a pump in a small space. Squarely aimed at the larger-tyred e-bike rider.

2. A Department of Environment report titled Survey and Mapping of Environmental Pollution from Industries in Greater Dhaka and Preparation of Strategies for its Mitigation (September 2008) shows that water quality samples taken from two locations in Hazaribagh were far in excess of permitted levels. Did the Ministry of Environment and Forests take any further action on the basis of this data, including any enforcement action against any Hazaribagh tanneries?

Right, we’re going to try to talk the nice people at Genesis into giving us a lend of as many of these bikes as possible.

After a one-year sabbatical, Ragley is back! They’ve got two brand new bikes for 2019 plus the old favourites get updates to geometry, tube profiles, frame ‘standards’ and spec. The new bikes are the Big Al which slots into the range as a 29-inch wheeled counterpart to the Marley. Also new is the Trig, a drop-handlebar bike in two guises for all your adventure/gravel/commuting/tow-path needs. Ragley gave us all the details below.

Human Rights Watch did not seek to interview all tannery owners in Hazaribagh due to time concerns. In June 2012, Human Rights Watch requested meetings with the managing directors of two Hazaribagh tanneries. Senior staff at both tanneries replied that a meeting was not possible because the relevant directors were busy and/or travelling.

August 7, 1986: Government orders 903 polluting factories (including 176 tanneries) to adopt measures to control their pollution within three years.

It doesn’t need me to point out the fact you can buy a very good complete gravel bike for the price of the frame only. You could buy the Mason Cycles InSearchOf with Rival 1x for £3,140, which admittedly has a steel frame but does boast wide tyre clearance.

On June 6, 2012 Richard Pearshouse, a senior researcher with the health and human rights division of Human Rights Watch, requested to meet you while in Dhaka. In an email dated June 11, your personal secretary Mr. Rafique Ahammed responded to this request by stating that “that the Ministry of Industry is dealing with the tannery industry in Bangladesh” and suggested that Human Rights Watch seek a meeting with the Minister of Industries instead.

People living in the densely-packed streets and alleys surrounding the tanneries, from which dark effluent spouts and swirls in open gutters, reported an array of health problems—many of them undiagnosed due to the cost of medical attention. These included fevers, diarrhea, respiratory problems, and skin, stomach, and eye conditions. While other factors may play some part in these illnesses, the extent of documented tannery pollution, the results of interviews with residents, and the findings of studies showing a higher prevalence of these illnesses in Hazaribagh compared to neighborhoods with similar socio-economic characteristics, strongly suggest a causal relationship between tannery pollution and poor community health.

The SKS Airstep footpump is a good option for inflating tyres of all types if you have issues with your arms or back and find a traditional floor pump hard or painful work. It does take about twice as long, mind.

The tanneries generate a lot of solid and liquid waste.[11] Each day, the tanneries in Hazaribagh create an estimated 75 metric tons of solid waste (mostly salts, bones, as well as leather shavings and trimmings), an amount which may rise to 200 metric tons of solid waste per day in peak production periods.[12] In terms of liquid waste, the government and the two main tannery associations stated in 2003:
