Unimpressive Electric Bicycle
I had a go on an electric bike, which was a bit big for me, the ergonomics was all wrong. I thought I would still take it, consider I wouldn't be cycling very hard, especially I wasn't going very far. How wrong was I.
Apparently electric bike can no longer be self-propelled, which is fine. The motor output levels didn't differ very much at different levels. The ride was good with the assist on, it was easy, it doesn't lurch much, you could just feel it if you are at the right gear at the right acceleration phase.
Just when I was going to return the bike, the battery died. It died when it was still showing 2 (of 5) bar and only did 22 miles, which it was rated for 40. I had to cycle this heavy bike, which is hard work when they bike wasn't setup right ergonomically.
That is another no from me.
Electrifying the existing bike would be a better idea.

Cycle The Solar System
Sarah told me about this Cycle the Solar System cycle path. I was not sure how we would visit, with only one bike transportable. Meanwhile the Halfords Electric Bike Trial has returned, and this would be a good trail to test it on.
It would not be difficult to see when I was on the Brompton, when I was on the electric bike.If there were the next installation for Alpha Centuri, it would beover 70000km, which is nearly twice Earth circumference. Surely they can find a route around the earth (not circumference maximum) to call the next point here?

Ugly Bread
There were so many loaves of breads behind the counter, why was I given the ugly one. It isn't even the nearest one. Am I unlucky? Are they racist? Are they homophobic? Or they are just "saving the good one for the regulars?"
