Cool, where can I get one of those?? ;-)
Hiding things in bike tubing can be bad news.
Apparently its called a Gruber Assist... though it weighs the better part of two kilos and only generates about 100w. When not in use it would be a fair old hindrance.
Ah the rides were trying to "to avoid unhealthy over-exertion during biking" must get one ;-)
Humm, if I were to fit my bike with Gruber Assist would I be able to keep up the next time Min suggest the Etape Balerno?
Well, probable not Min is far from slow, but at least I wouldn't be holding the rest back...
What if we get them too? ;-)
Min you really don't need one ;-)
