And a lot more than that. Michael Geller thinks this was worth a few hours (or a few days, if he was with me!):
Had I been travelling with Gordon Price in Germany, he would have insisted that we spend at least a day or two in Munich’s Transportation Museum. … I did spend a few hours on my last afternoon browsing around two historic 1908 exhibition halls full of displays and equipment showing how people have moved about over the past 200 years. …
There was a good collection of old and new trains and trams and one can only hope that one day we’ll start to see the newer versions on Vancouver streets. The more I travelled around Germany on trams, the more I became convinced, like Patrick Condon and others, that we should make every effort to fit in trams along Broadway and elsewhere in the region, rather than rely on more expensive alternatives. ….I wish I could have brought back the Mercedes Hybrid or pedelec bike prototypical bike which was developed in 2000. Unlike an electric bike, it offers only power assistance.That would be very appealing. A Mercedes bicycle..
He can have pedelec if he wants. Check out Bionx systems or a THUN torque sensor http://www.ebike.ca
