This is a blog. Not a rant or a catastrophe. This is a blog.
This blog celebrates my Motor Assist Bicycles.
Most people simply don't get it,because you can do much better with a scooter.
Scooters are also really good in gas.
Scooters are also faster.
And scooters will keep change in your pockets so you can afford lunch thereby stimulating your local economy instead of Saudi Arabia.
So why is a Motor Assist Bike so much better?
Because back in my youth before I grabbed a drivers license,my BMX bicycle that I built from the ground up from salvaged parts in the trash day pick ups and parts given to me by friends was my way of getting out in the world. I've taken that bike far and wide,broken down quite a few times with flat tires and have had to walk miles from home walking my limp bicycle with me. Then every time I made it better I was proud because I built this thing.
Then when I grabbed my drivers license and then my car,my bicycle started collecting some dust. I would take it out every now and then and do some tricks (I still can ride a bicycle backwards) but those days of traveling far from home are no more. Then cars elevated to motorcycles then trucks then after family and kids it elevated to the daily grind called the rat race.
Then I lose my job. Then I asked myself "What came about all those years of struggling?" I had no answer except that job payed my bills and it gave me some joy but all that is gone now.
So early on in my sudden early retirement I went to Costco and saw that Schwinn. Right there I had to have it. I walked it out of the store and felt like a kid again. This is the first bicycle I have ever bought NEW.
But I'm not as fit as I used to be. I would ride it to the store and back. It's an easy ride but I just couldn't go any further.
Then I discovered bicycle engines and then that bike forum and things just changed.
My whole life has changed.
So why is a Motored Assist Bike so much better than a faster scooter or a Motorcycle or a sports car or monster trucks or even TRAINS?
Because every time I ride my bicycle,I feel like I'm 14 again.
