In the car world there are attempts from time to time to re-incarnate much loved models with modern mechanical bits. The 'new' beetles and minis lack the elegance of line their originals boasted, and the 'new' Fiat 500 is probably the most faithful to its ancestor.
As I may have mentioned, from time to time, J and I delught in a couple of beatiful, cream painted, Dutch Bikes. (Thanks, Bob!). As we wobbled along the Cheshire lanes this morning to collect paper and bottle of wine (the wicker basket is surely one of mankind's greatest discoveries) I took to musing on other models which might benefit fron an upgrade. Going back to the root of the matter, how about a hand-crafted Hobby Horse, battery & wiring concealed in polished wooden from? Or an electric 'Ordinary' bike, brilliant in gleaming black paint and silver e-powered wheels? I can see a beautiful Raliegh Superb Sports Tourist, gold lines highlighting green enamel? Gently wafted along with a rear wheel motor disguised as the S.W. 4W and hub dynamo combined?
Progress is going in the wrong direction - heading for the future instead of the past.
Nurse - is it time for my ...
Happy ebiking, & may the ewind be ever at your back.
I know what I want for Christmas ...
