Well, luckily the weather here is intermittent enough that you can get in riding between rainstorms usually. If there is one thing I simply cannot stand it is a stationary trainer.

I find the prediction regarding e-bikes interesting.

Whizzer Company built gasoline motor add-ons for bicycles and later
complete motorized bicycles as far back as 1939, which never became
wildly popular. While today it seems that e-bikes are now on the way
to becoming almost a standard. I read, for example, that home delivery
- Pizza for example - in Singapore is almost all by e-bike.

Why not Whizzer and why e-bike?

As a guess, the weight and size of the motors. Then there is the issue of
faul, unhealthy air. Whilst a hot radiating ICe is good in winter, it is
lousy in summar here.

Tack-on two stroke gas motors are noisy. Its like riding a buzz bomb. I got passed by some dope on a bike with a gas motor, and I thought I was going to get chainsaw massacred.

Weight and size of batteries for e-bikes *must* come down.

The Whizzer used a regular 4 stroke Briggs & Stratten motor if memory
serves. And; I can assure you that it was much quieter than my bored
and stroked 90 cu.in. Harley :-)

Back in the 1940's when I saw the first Whizzer we didn't have "foul
unhealthy air". It hadn't been invented yet :-)
