When I was a child, growing up in post-communist Romania, very few people owned cars1, and those that did usually had some real clunkers2. Every single weekend some neighbor would be outside from dawn to dusk, banging and fixing on his car for the umpteenth time, trying to get it road-worthy for the week ahead. This bike and I have developed a similar relationship, only instead of fixing it, I keep making changes to it.| Tegowerk
I briefly mentioned this bike before, when I talked about how I got into bike repair. The bike was “analog” back then, but my wife has meanwhile developed some problems with the tendons on one of her feet, which have impeded her ability to climb hills on the bike. So I’ve built her an e-bike! Whenever the decision to get an e-bike comes up, one of the first questions to answer is do I buy a dedicated e-bike, or do I convert my existing bike?| Tegowerk
