Get a car.
You know it makes sense.
Gordon Brown.Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Originally posted by DennyDoes anyone have one. I'm not referring to mopeds but normal pedal bikes that have battery chargers. I thought about getting a fold up leccy for to power assist me up those hills so that I can commute to the client site without being all hot and sweaty.

So what you are essentially saying, is that you are dodging paying road tax and fuel tax, yet you still plan to use the roads and pavements.I'm green though and I don't need to buy a car
Tut Tut Tut.
I shall have to have words with the Dept. For Transport and see how we can bring you in under our wing.

I have one of them Segway thingies which is great fun at parties.
Was having a look at an electric bike the other day that uses a hydrogen fuel cell. It looked quite attractive.Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.

You don't need a hydrogen fuel cell, dear Threaded.Was having a look at an electric bike the other day that uses a hydrogen fuel cell. It looked quite attractive.
The thing should run quite nicely on the amount of hot air and methane from your B.S.
Sorry, couldn't resist a cheap laugh.
The thought of terrorists riding Segways in to shopping malls, powered by hydrogen fuel cells does worry me a bit though.Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.

Hot and sweaty is good...Originally posted by DennyHaven't you got some babysitting to do tonight?
My thighs hurt if I pedal. We're not in Holland are we! I need electronic assistance to get uphill otherwise I just pant and puff and go all hot and sweaty, otherwise I just get off and walk with my bike which defeats the object of having it with me in the first place.Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.
