    "On Tuesday morning the newspaper L’Avvenire ran a story about what it termed were ‘invisible’ motors that could be hidden within bike tubing and help to power a bike along."

    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.

    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...
