Hang 'em high
I brought more serious tackle to work to handle the dead weight of the last pair of electric bikes I had to work on. It had been a boom vang at one time, on a boat I no longer have, which had already been reconfigured, leaving this handy unit as surplus.

Playing with the rope was way more fun than any work I did on the bike itself. I left it hanging there for a while just for the fun of it.

More hang time than that ride will ever see... hopefully. =)
ReplyDeleteThese particular specimens are the biggest pigs I've ever seen, in a genre known for pigs. Some things you look at and say, "I wish I'd thought of that." I look at e-bikes and say, "I wish no one had thought of that."
ReplyDeleteThe only place I've grudgingly allowed that electric assist makes life possible is on a big honkin' tank of a bakfiets a young family brought in. You'd never get anywhere around here without electric assist on something of that mass and volume. But they're using it as a car replacement.
Those A2B are starting to get popular out here in Ottawa, not sure why other than the tires are so thick, they can take pot holes.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I think the idea of them riding on a bike is MUCH better than them driving around in a car. The more the people get out the better.
