OMG, those early e-bike kits were a disaster! The bike weighed about 80lbs. I rode it to work one day and it died on me after about a block on the way back home. I had to pedal that 80lb bike for about

It was so much fun to ride! More like a motorcycle than a bike, really. I still think of my father almost every time I ride. He liked to ride as much as I do. Can't wait to read your story! Thank you,

Thanks Eliana. My oldest bike is the one that's made the best. Back then they were peoples' primary mode of transportation so they were made to last. I hope you enjoy your day!

Nice! The BMX culture is still alive and well. Does your cave community have a few bikes? I would imagine a bike would be very useful where you are now since the weather is mild most of the year.

Thank you!

Thank you for your kind words! I hope you have a wonderful day my friend.
