    (I’m sure the knowledgeable readers of this website don’t need to be told but just in case the odd one doesn’t know, the Wright Brothers funded their early experiments in aviation from the profits of their bicycle repair business)

    Back when bicycles were primarily rich people’s toys, so there was significant money to be made in repairing them. First flight was less than 20 years after invention of the safety bicycle.

    I wanted to share a picture of my trusty Perraro Electric Bike! This bike has been my companion on countless adventures, providing a perfect blend of power, comfort, and sustainability. Whether I’m cruising through city streets or tackling off-road trails, this e-bike never fails to deliver a smooth and exhilarating ride.

    In the picture, you can see the sleek design of the lightweight aluminum frame, built for durability and style. The powerful 750W brushless hub motor is a standout feature, making uphill climbs effortless and ensuring a swift, enjoyable ride. The 48V 15Ah lithium-ion battery is another highlight, offering an impressive range of up to 60 miles on a single charge, so I can explore without worrying about running out of power.

    The bike is equipped with a front suspension fork with 100mm travel, which absorbs bumps and rough terrain, ensuring a comfortable ride. The hydraulic disc brakes provide reliable stopping power in all conditions, adding a layer of safety to my rides. The 27.5” all-terrain tires are perfect for both urban commutes and off-road adventures, giving me the versatility I need.

    One of my favorite features is the LCD display, which keeps me informed about speed, battery level, and distance traveled. It’s incredibly handy for planning my rides and keeping track of my progress. The bike also comes with integrated LED lights for enhanced visibility and safety, a rear rack for carrying cargo, and ergonomic grips for added comfort.

    Overall, my Perraro Electric Bike has been a game-changer, making my rides more enjoyable and eco-friendly. I’m excited to share this picture with you all and look forward to hearing your thoughts and experiences with e-bikes!

    I think you got lost on your way to a motorcycle forum.

    Contact. Maybe this will stop the scrapers/harvesters for a couple of years. I spent over a minute making this.

    GP fears house in Old Dover Road, Canterbury, could collapse into road after being struck three times in 18 months

    https://www.kentonline.co.uk/canterbury/news/the-whole-house-could-collapse-and-we-could-die-in-the-road-308386/

    (standard set of “why did you buy it then?” comments.)

    “The first was a drunk driver who hit it in March last year.

    “She hit the safety bollard – destroying it – and her car then rolled, flipped over and skidded down the road.

    “She was injured and taken to hospital by ambulance.

    “Another time an elderly driver was coming down the road towards the city and smacked into the safety bollard, destroying it, further damaging the patio next door and scraped down my wall, taking off bricks and chunks of a pillar before knocking down a castiron downpipe.”

    Sounds like the bollard wasn’t up to the task. Stronger ones are available.

    Are you shaking your sealant before adding it? At least a minute of vigorous shaking?

    How old are your tyres?

    I don’t think that’s crossdressing. That looks like a hospital gown.
