Your one steep hill ( I've seen the pictures. ) is enough tp justify a small motor and battery like the conversions @PedalUma makes. I think Trek makes something like that, a proper lightweight road bike with an electric boost. Worth considering 🤔 maybe.

An internet legend says that Rodney Dangerfield's tombstone says " There goes the neighborhood ". That's hard to top, but you can do it, Dave ... in 20 or more years, please.

Ridiculous maybe, but I think you maintain your bike well. Others don't....

Yeah, old school maintenance is so important and yet so ignored .

I live at the top of the highest hill in town and coming home I get the wind and the climb at the same time when I am already tired. Big battery suck if I can even keep it climbing...

Too many people forget about wind, it's often worse than hills and you can't see it coming ...

London a decade ago the fastest traffic was packs of commuter bikes that I would never ride with . Terrifying, really.

Congratulations and welcome to EBR.

Pity. That was our high temp. Lasted about 3 hours.

If you are trying to say @RabH Isn't a road cyclist, you will fail. At least among this group, he's the roadie.😀

I actually learned something from this thread before I hit the ignore button. Thank you.

Yep. Insurers have no sense of humor. If the claim can be denied, under any law or municipal ruling, it will be.

I don't think so. I admire recumbents like I admire tandems. Very cool machines ... for someone else.
