Yes... Please pipe the exhaust into yer face mask, and report here on ES the results of your experiment.

Very interesting! (not)

"...thoroughfares littered with bodies and bicycle parts."

Oh... Like I imagine the roads to/from LAX are now?

Call this "The Campaign to Rename Coxwell"... Currently I am esconsced beside a city road named "Coxwell Avenue" (in Toronto, ON)... When I was younger (much younger) I got to visit the Guggenheim Museun in NYC... Just across the street from "Central Park", and just a c...

"...it will only be a matter of time..."

So, how much time? (Some old guys are curious, maybe are impatient... dunno how long they have to "wait"... Hehe...)

So... Notice anything maybe missing from the "top sheet", etc here on ES? Just to "set the scene", this ES thread re "Coin Operated Charging", here: http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=51417 And the idea that some here may wish to donate some amount...

Lycra? Oh, I *love* chemistry! Per Wikipedia: Spandex or elastane is a synthetic fiber known for its exceptional elasticity. It is strong, but less durable than its major non-synthetic competitor, natural latex. It is a polyurethane-polyurea copolymer that was invented in 1959 by chemists C. L. Sand...

The insurance "industry", who spend vast amounts of car drivers money to employee legions of lawyers, to pay out as little as possible to those who may or may not actually need it...

Try this experiment?
After you have bought that generator, fill its tank, "fire it up", and stick your nose up its exhaust pipe?

And please let us know here how your experiment goes? (Length of time before you passed out, etc...)

Cheers

Yeah John! Say, I thought Little Exuma in the Bahamas was "paradise"? :) Anyway... OK... Ya can try this at home, but maybe better on the road somewhere... In my town, it seems I may be riding some sort of "alien" technology... Chances are many folks nEVer took that awkward stuff...

OK... Watt an ebiker maybe says to a motorcyclist (burning gasoline, maybe diseasal), when they pull up, or the ebiker is passing them: "Ohhhh! I love antiques!" And if they are riding one of those noisy little 50cc etc motorcycles: "Does it convert into a chain saw (or a "weed e...

Yes... Card-based payment systems do seem to promote longer lineups at some establishments, don't they? Plus it maybe easier for some not to "tip" the crew/employees so much...

Well, well... No thoughts/response from anyone on ES to the "rickshaw" idea? I see there have already been two threads about a rickshaw idea on ES (in 2009, 2010)... Just to "flesh out" the idea (or "whet" some appetites)... The fellow in Toronto I have had one conversa...

Hey! I saw that (this thread)! Hi all (and LFP)... I know it costs just pennies for an ebiker to maybe "take a break" and plug in for a bit... But it might be *nice* if those charging "stations" accepted some coin that the machine or signage promised would be donated to some favo...

Ahhh... I was beginning to wonder (whether Ontario majors were having a competition for "Who is the largest" or something... An idea maybe to "file away" for some future date... The media would have a chuckle at least, when the invites are mailed out to all Ontario majors re THAT...

OK... Not a joke exactly... but a "PSA" ("public service announcement") promoting the electric bicycle... Just one scene, a "one act play" if you will... For broadcasting on PBS, wattEVer... The opening: A mum or dad etc pedaling watt some of us might consider an "...

Dang... And I just made a promise to myself, to stop grinning "like a fool", EVery time I pass one of the "car addicted"... And it's been hundreds I have passed (just in these last few weeks alone... I sorta lost count...). I'm pretty sure those resting comfortably (I guess they ...

Oil companies? Yah mean that "fossil fuel" stuff? Well, I for one would kinda miss those plastic-covered wires, etc. on the ol' ebike... But I'll make you a compromise maybe? Just outlaw the burning of "oil" used for transportation... burning (wasting), etc... Deal? Re "ener...

Well, I'm jealous... Watching beautiful young "things" (wymen) stopping to pet a young pup on the sidewalk... Usually folks just say "Nice bike" (when I KNOW it's a tricycle) when they (or I) am passing by... Well, I WOULD show ya (here on ES) pics of some of those pretty young t...

Hehe... Good ones you guys... Must ask some EU taxi drivers if their "industry" has been "decimated" yet by the electric bicycle? (Well, I hope so, just can't say that to them...) And "Captain Spandex"? Perhaps they are just depressed on being demoted to a junior office...

Sorry, correction... It is actually a harbour pier or a wharf that goes "crack" or "crunch" when hit... Though might be applicable to a "boom" also...

L

Ohhh... I have a rather long "to do" list (of mods to my etrike)... Now gotta add to that list... Ummm... Is there such a thing on ebikes watt a pilot might refer to as an "ejection seat"? For presentation to the Mayor of Oshawa?

Just curious, as always...

OK... Sorta a "in" joke for ebikers...maybe... NOT to be shared with any non-motorized bicyclists please? I sorta refer to many of the "Lance Armstrong"-wannabes etc types that pass me (or try to) as the "bucket brigade"... Because many of them appear (to me) to be wear...

Hehe... Well sailors know that on a sailboat a "boom" is where yer head might go "splash" or "splat" if ya connect with such a thing... Just curious!

Yeah, no kidding "cal3thousand"... Recently I was sitting (on a wooden picnic table, in the dark) beside my rusty steed, and some car driver decided to back in (it was a parking lot, not to be confused with many area roads in my town), and watched as he gently "bumped" my trike (...

Hello Winnipeg! How are things in the "`Peg" these daze anyway? That nasty old " Rivière rouge" behaving itself, I hope... Sadly, I only drove through the `Peg once (and back, on a trip out to our "Wet Coast"... and "back in the day" when I was addicted to tha...
