international aid
« on: January 30, 2011 »
From the hope springs eternal dept, we've taken delivery of a Kalkhoff Agattu, which sounds like a Russian invasion of France but is in fact a highly rated German power-assisted bike. It's for my Sri Lankan British American wife.



I had suggested one of these, but that was more assistance than she wanted.

the cessation of suffering is attainable

So far so good. This has proved sturdy and reliable, with a magic paint job which almost seems to repel dirt - something to like when you live in the muck. The battery performs as advertised. Even the tyres hold on to their air in such a miserly way that topping them up is seldom necessary; such are the joys of a low pressure life. The only downsides are that it can compel one to to deny the noble truth that life means suffering, and there is a propensity to gloat when reading of lesser ebikes, which can't be good for the karma either. And of course some people think it's cheating, not far removed from doping.
