Electric Bike Footnote

So we have this new electric bike, as you all now know. Pretty exciting. For more than a week before we bought it, pretty much every time Jon saw someone riding a scooter (which is often around here), he would reiterate just how much he wanted to get one. And when he decided that he would definitely make the purchase, the focus turned to just how excited he was that he was going to have one soon, and how much more awesome it would be to cruise around freely rather than being cooped up in the sauna-like double-decker bus. I totally agreed, but his fervor and enthusiasm far exceeded mine. :)

I must say, our bike is pretty sweet….well, except for the slight setback of the padding on the “passenger” seat, which might as well be non-existent because after riding around for a bit, my butt bones hurt so much it was like someone was wailing on them with a steel rod. Unpleasant, to say the least. I’ve taken a little hiatus from backseat scooter riding, but thankfully the problem will soon be remedied with the help of a poofy towel, some duct tape, and a bit of jerry rigging. In a wee bit, my ass will have nothing to fear when faced with the metallic shine of the bike’s glorious chrome; only the comfort of a deliciously soft cushion. When all is said and done, I hope to look (and feel) as relaxed as this bald bearded jolly man here:

Mmm-mmm-good…

Ziajian (tootles) for now!
