This guy in Oregon took his old bike and electrified it. He's near Portland so with all the smoke he hasn't tested it yet.
He promised to let me know how the battery performs and the motor too. This is the culmination of a quest started in the 19th century. A trike with a precision 5 cylinder radial in the front wheel... Same type motor in a bicycle front wheel, then in the back wheel of the next bike. I guess it's the first multi-cylinder motorcycle.

I always carry zip ties. My buddy thought he could ride a tree. He could not.

And you have cuffs in case you have to make a citizen's arrest.
Or meet a kinky maiden in the forest.

You die a little inside every time you don't ride a tree?

Even back in 1948 bike riders wanted more entertainment...

ouch
Speaking of ouch, brokey fixey (not fixie old knees). Broken derailleur and hanger resulting in a long push home and a Saturday on Pete's old yet classy 26" Specialized Epic. Buddy gave me an old Noleen Chubby for one of my old 26" bikes for backup. New derailleur and an old tweaked hanger until new one arrives. New derailleur is funny but apparently works.

Noleen Chubby
Noleen Noleen Noleen Noleen
Your beauty is beyond compare With flaming locks of auburn hair With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green Your smile is like a breath of spring Your voice is soft like summer rain And I cannot compete with you Noleen
