what was that? is that all there is? who is this? this is it.

pay phone

parking meter

throw back

double take

fax machine 

bike messenger

there’s more where that came from

you can’t get there from here

worst case scenario

is that the best you can do? 

you’re doing it wrong

just ride 

play it by ear

we’re all fucked

it’ll never work

I prefer not to

enlarged to show texture

serving suggestion

lead by example

shut the fuck up 

5 gallon bucket

fermented dumpster juice

I'm a driver

I'm a winner

things are gonna change 

I can feel it

In 1881, in Paris, Gustave Trouvé fastened a lead-acid battery and a motor to a British tricycle, et voilà, he puttered his contraption along the Rue de Valois. Fourteen years later, on the last day of 1895, Ogden Bolton, Jr., received United States patent No. 552,271 for a battery-powered electric bicycle with a “6-pole brush-and-commutator direct current (DC) hub motor mounted in the rear wheel.”

And you pass by the two aged ebikers on the way up the hill, batteries worn out, with no idea how to get home.
