Electric bikes

Sounds like most of kb.

Tick. I was going to say 'like me', but I don't mind setting them up as long as I get to knock some over now and again.

Yeh but no hot air with the leccy's, which is a nice feature when stopped at lights on the very cold mornings I have to say.

Then again, no hot air is also a nice feature when stopped at lights on hot summer days.

Clearly the only solution is to have a couple of each...

Perfect for me would be a few purpose bikes. Eg. An adventure, a dirt, a mile muncher a sport bike an electric etc. Main Trouble is $.
Problem it compromises is they lock you in to compromises. I love my current bike because it is a good compromise. If I lived closer to work I would never have sold the busa to but it though.

So as to say if I had an electric I would have to get off at the lights?

Yeah, I have been known to go for the low hanging fruit.

Electric bikes meh it's a bit like cooking a sirloin steak in a microwave (literally) check out the emf sitting on top of an electric motor at such a close range you will fry your frikken gonads in no time.electric is not he way to go google it

CDI's aren't exactly "clean" either......and they tend to also hide under the seat.

Not literally at all. Microwaves use the 2-4GHz band while an electric motor driver's switching losses at such frequencies would be far too large, instead they aim for 20kHz (a factor of 100,000 less) to be just out of the audible spectrum. Additionally, the main source of microwave damage is from heat; and I think if you're happy to ride around with a few hundred kWs of petrol burning heater between your legs... well complaining about electrics is just fucking ignorant.

Not to mention a relatively large quantity of highly flammable carcinogenic liquid...

So this would not be a viable birth control. :

Always someone on the fringe eh?

Could I interest anyone in some tinfoil pants?

Ps using google as a
Single source of truth is like keeping a chicken for business advice. Doesn't matter how often it's right sometimes the answer returned is someone else's mindless scratchings.
