Dear ES Krew...
One old, "disabled" ebike rider had a bit of a disappointment yesterday... I went to my local bank branch to try for a "Small Business Loan"... for "only" $2,000 Cdn... to buy two small folding electric bicycles to start a new business in bike rentals... where the bank might offer financing at less than 20% interest! ... actually, only 19.99% interest... and was declined. [grumble grumble]
About four years ago my life sorta "fell apart"... when I woke up from a week in a coma with a broken shoulder, broken ribs... and the "kicker"... multiple brain contusions. So to this day it's difficult to stand and walks, etc having lost my sense of balance.
And today I exist supported by the Ontario taxpayer... with my only source of income from Disability Support... which I sorta hate... having supported myself since late teens... so I miss work... especially since press reports describe support via Ontario Disability Support payments as "living life below the poverty line"... and I'm not used to getting along on a starvation diet?
Anyway... Kickstarter said just now:
... and it occurred to me that when news got back to the `Sphere (Endless-Sphere.com) that I was in hospital and maybe "near death"... a bunch of ES folks passed the proverbial hat around and sent me a Get Well card AND $500 US! (Is there anybuddy on the Sphere that I haven't said THANK YOU to? Kinda/hopefully goes without saying? THANK YOU?
Anywhooo... The site on Kickstarter "Electric Bicycle Rentals":
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1220744480/74979728/build
... and still waiting to hear from Kickstarter whether "All Systems GO"... or not...
... and just thought I'd "put it out there"... "Put up a flag and see if anybuddy salutes", so to say.
Standing by. Over.
