From the “Things We Covet” file: Sanyo’s new E-Bike.  This is a standard, good-looking bicycle with a quiet 250 watt motor that kicks in on hills.  The idea’s not new, but the execution this time is good.  They’ve had practice, selling “tens of millions” of hybrid bikes in China.

The Bundoran Farm team suggests that this might be a perfect accessory for Bundoran Farm residents.  We realize the difficulty we’ve created with the relatively steep climbs here, and console cyclists with the fact that these grades helped us to preserve the surrounding landscape for your touring enjoyment.

Still, going for a nice tour on Edge Valley Road is  so much more appealing with a little help for the climb back up Derry Lane…
