It's a Zipper e-bike, new, for £410 including delivery. This morning I did about 27 km on it, and there's still over half the battery life left. While it won't get me to work much faster than any of my other bikes will, I can ride in civvies and not be dripping in sweat when I get there.
The fold and build quality in general aren't great, it's fair to say. The seat post slips gradually, the motor doesn't always cut out when I stop pedaling, and the battery is a very tight fit. But I can live with all that for the price. Especially since i've sold £490 worth of bikes, so I'm up £80 and the stable is still down by one.
Very pleased!

The rest, the tea, or the tiles?Again.
I'm going to have a rest now while you think about it.
In other news I've just spotted the woman who grabs all of the yellow sticker priced items. She was on Rip off Britain.

We were in the super market early this morning, when I picked up a pack of batches they were still hot from the oven.

I think Rene Artois had a good phrase for that presenter.

Well what a busy morning.Yesterday i turned around to come home after feeling lightheaded and breathless.well what a change this morning.First thing i did not take a Nytol sleeping pill last night,but i took ages to get off.But i was up at 07-30 this morning,a brew a quick look at things on the computer.then changed the bed,shave and shower.Bedding in washer,then brekkie.Bedding in tumbler,it was supposed to rain here this morning,still waitingi i am thinking all weather forecasts are crap.A little bit of ironing including the bedding.Then cleaned consevatory windows inside and out,thanks ACCY the tip of washing up liquid is brilliant.What with that and my new window kit,they look brilliant.Then cleaned the patio door inside and out,finally dusted the back room and hoovered.Now all of that bobbing up and down,and not one dizzy spell or anything else for that matter.Yesterday must have been just one of those days.Now i am looking forward to next week and getting out.Tomorrow is visit number two to Wheels4Fun.

Lucky with the weather. Just a few showers here in SW Cornwall and only a very light amount of rain spots last night at The Minack Theatre. I stayed cosy wrapped up in a waterproof picnic blanket ( waterproof side on the outside).
The setting, the view and the rainbow were more memorable than the play. It was Treasure Island and although fun, didn't do the original story justice.
Next week we'll be back at The Minack for Shakespeare's A Comedy Of Errors. Any comments or thoughts?

Here for rides.
bored rigid on a two hour conf call which simply demonstrates that everything at work is at least 10x more difficult than it needs to be.

I decided to go out for a short loop before returning the bike because I was going to get wet anyway just cycling to the hire place. I'd forgotten how horrible it is riding without mudguards even in light rain. My bag, my jacket, my legs, my three quarters leggings are all splattered. I really don't see the appeal!

Growing old disgracefully
I've just been saddened, by a Facebook post, informing me the Moffat Sheep Races (scheduled for Sunday 13th August) have been cancelled.
This is because the D & G Council require each sheep to comply with the Performing Animal Rights Act 1925 - IE each sheep would need a licence to perform.

Bike update - the battery gauge appears to be woefully inaccurate.
I discovered this as all three remaining bars vanished in the space of about a hundred yards. While I was 4 km away.
Electric bikes are not easy to pedal.
