    It is me on the left :) I got the bike for the duration of my 1990 stay in West Germany from a German Professor and a company director. The other boy was his son. The bike was in a mint condition and had some magic in it. I could successfully race against German roadies on my spare time rides!

    I'm pretty an international person, Jeremy, working for a Norwegian company and selling/supporting American and British software for most of the career :) Naturally, I love Polish food but am very happy with the Italian or British varieties :)

    Carrying photography gear on a ride

    This 1953 German bike had a shifter mounted on the top tube, similar to what you showed, Charge, only less gears. I swear that's true!

    getting a regular bike after my battery fails?

    AFAIK the 12 speed shifter produces a different stroke for the gear change than the 10-s one. Impractical. Elaborating: There is a different distance between the cassette cogs for the 12 and the 10 speed system. The shifter is indexed for a given indexing, or the cog distance.

    Jokes aside. Tell me if you ride a 20" wheel fat tyre motorcycle style throttle illegal e-bike and I will tell you whether you deserve to be admitted to the exclusive club :)
