RE: OT: For Frank

My preference is a normal bicycle. But then I'm a cyclist. These guys obviously want to appeal to non-cycists. They wanted it to look like a little car. If they really wanted aerodynamics they could have done it cheaper and more aerodynamically: http://www.hpvelotechnik.com/produkte/streamer/

They definitely need to address the (lack of) cargo areas. Even an outside rack on the back would be something. Baskets, panniers, something is needed. Cheers, frank On November 12, 2015 12:32:30 PM EST, John wrote: >A local startup in my old home town got some notice

I lived with a 28, 50 and 150 for a long time, using 35mm film, and the 20-35mm covers two of those and everything in between, on APS-C digital. It also produces lovely images so for me it's close to perfect, though I do miss having an ultra wide option. On 11/12/2015 6:49 PM, Mark C wrote:

I just figured you and some others here might find it interesting. It has a dual chain drive setup & I think they said the drive wheel is free-wheeling. One chain is driven by pedal power and the other is driven by an electric motor mounted on the frame under the seat. I don't think they have
