SILLY QUESTIONS:
- Why 'KEYWILD.COM' ?
. . . . Did you ever try to find a dot com name that was not registered??
- What HTML editor did Lewis use for this page ?
. . . . notepad.exe (KISS)
- Why did the chicken walk across the road ?
. . . . because it was afraid to fly.
- Why are there not more silly questions ?
. . . . Because Lewis is senile and forgot them.

Electric Bike
updated 10 March 2006
When gasoline hit 4.50 I started looking at alternatives and decided that large portion of local movements could be done on a electric bicycle. The idea is to be able to go to back and forth to work and to the local stores. All are within a range of about 3-1/2 miles. I had a small mishap (like many plans of mice and men).

Electric Bike (Plan 'B') --- The Reality
A full decade later and I am back to using an electric bicycle (aka E-Bike) as my primary mode of transportation.
The links above should (if I got the URLs right) lead to the two endlesssphere message threads about my version of a 'weight weenie' e-bike.
Keep tuned for Plan 'C' ...
Digiscoping updated 25 April 2004

What is that item in the background ?
May 2006. A 500 mile road trip on a 150cc scooter ?
