Finally got out on the bike, it was frickin freezin and blowing a gale, so I went on an epic nose about of the decaying infrastructure of the docks from Seaforth to Otterspool.
Only scratched the surface really, but it was interesting to do it on the perfect tool for the job.
The beginnings of a complete rejuvination are everywhere, and yes it can be a bit modern corporate souless, but people probably said the same of the old stuff when it was built.
Basically there is shxxte everywhere.
But 'Where there's muck there's brass'.
I was out for hours and never got bored, remembering that the cameraman never dies, I nosed into everyones business
and what a joy that is.
I was like a child again, my favourite bit was cycling into the huge multistory carpark, past the barriers and turbo modeing it up the ramps for a view from the top.
This is everywhere
Backstreets of docking, exporting rust it would seem
The new Everton stadium, built with Russian stolen, given back, moved, laundered money
Across the road renaming the decrepit pub, football fans dont want nuthin fancy.
In a world where slave trade links get you cancelled, I'm impressed that Bramley Moore got away with it,
money talks I guess,
Titanic Hotel and tea warehouse apartments are going to be centre stage for the rebuild.
If you like post industrial chic,
Dye the water blue and the babes will flock.
A window salesman's dream.
It certainly has a presence.
You know all that cotton grown in the south, 90% of it came through these locks to the mills.
The Tea warehouse condition is a reflection of our declining tea drinking.
Nature never gives up/
My ex girlfriend still lives in this warehouse, that girl needs to write a book.
From Perilli calendar to Beyonces friend, the tales she can tell.
I don't understand why they don't paint it on the ferrys propeller.
Dye the water blue and turn ip the sun and you've got Miami
I cringe every time I see the Beatles after that certain incident with my dad.
Notice the pillars continue, the end bit took a direct hit from a huge German bomb.
The top of the car park, I was waiting for a jobsworth in a little council van to turn up and tell me fatbikes aren't insured.

Couldn't agree more. Exploring by ebike's one of my favorite things ever.

Fantastic, @Chargeride Serious urban decay, but honestly it’s beautiful in its own right. Thank you for sharing. Forgive me, but where were those pictures taken? Thanks for sharing them with me/us.

Liverpool UK, Id say the Beatles would give it away, but they are of little interest to young people now.

I think The Beatles are even more important to Europe.Oh, I’m not young. I just didn’t realize that’s what the statue was.
A photo of me at The Cavern Liverpool, 2005. (I didn't think I would play the bass myself at that time!)
Liverpool is a beautiful city nowadays! (A 2022 photo).
In the Baltic Triangle, Liverpool.
Three Graces and the Mersey tunnel ventilation tower. The bird atop the building at the right is the Liver Bird, the symbol of the city.
The actual Liver Bird

Rather "Facebook Blues"
English lyrics:
I know well, I've come to know my own bad luck
Logging onto Facebook, the spam trash's fully packed
I clicked on a virus, the mistake is my own
I'm gonna run away and go!
Had enough, I run away and go!
Now I know, no future here, none
Friends' manifestos are getting me down
Enough of reading what the Government has done!
I'm gonna run away and go!
Had enough, I have to run away and go!
Friends were telling me: "Who you want, you'll meet"
And now what I get for reading is this personal s*it!
Way too much overload! Can I change it all?
I'll simply run away and go!
Had enough...
Bonus track: 'Kurwa! I wonder how many more takes it will take!'

This one is going to bring you out in hot flushes as he dares to take apart a Levo SL pulling out motors TCU etc etc Great fun.

Rather casual use of a horn and it still works
I couldnt be arsed riding up here, but this is my favourite derelict part of Liverpool

That's what I thought. Whenever Seth appears with a good e-bike, he had found it in a skip
I especially liked the: 'This is the first time I work with a mid-drive motor' and then thump-thump with a hammer
(Whoever has ever dropped the SL motor knows the hammer is the last thing you need there) There are two ways you can get exercise out of a bicycle: you can "overhaul" it, or you can ride it. On the whole, I am not sure that a man who takes his pleasure overhauling does not have the best of the bargain. He is independent of the weather and the wind; the state of the roads troubles him not. Give him a screw-hammer, a bundle of rags, an oil-can, and something to sit down upon, and he is happy for the day. He has to put up with certain disadvantages, of course; there is no joy without alloy. He himself always looks like a tinker, and his machine always suggests the idea that, having stolen it, he has tried to disguise it; but as he rarely gets beyond the first milestone with it, this, perhaps, does not much matter. The mistake some people make is in thinking they can get both forms of sport out of the same machine. This is impossible; no machine will stand the double strain. You must make up your mind whether you are going to be an "overhauler" or a rider.

My old American brain has tried and tried, but I still can't figure out what that means.

Shows again what a nice looking and well built bike that Levo SL is. Would love to try it on the hills here with the SL2 motor.That's what I thought. Whenever Seth appears with a good e-bike, he had found it in a skip
