Apparently we need a break so we are in Boat of Garten for a few days. Ready for the inevitable boredom to set in I was pleasantly surprised to find that a well known trick cyclist (never heard of him) and his team were doing a display today.
The first obvious mistake they made was that they had forgotten to fit the engine. Basic stuff but we all make mistakes. The consequence of this was that they had to pedal frantically to get around, at least it kept them warm as it was bitterly cold.
The jumps and tricks show their obvious skill and training and were amazing.
It seems that a large number of bikes around here have electric motors which blurs the line between cycle and motorcycle. With the obvious improvement in battery technology this will no doubt increase and has benefits for some of the off road competitions which are dwindling due to noise and pollution concerns.
One issue that will need to be addressed is the legality of riding a 'powered' cycle on the road which is neither taxed or insured. Still anything on 2 wheels will help cut down the congestion and I was going to say help keep you fit, however not with an electric motor.j
Nearly time for the red wine
