Re: Cyclettes. As a cyclist, do you think the experience and rewards of cyling are diluted by having an electric bicycle? (Electric bikes are just arriving in my area of New England.)
I dunno. I rode one a block and it was pretty fun. E-bikes seem to me more like a car replacement than a bike replacement. One thing that e-bikes take away for me is the whole self-powered, self-repaired aspects of bikes and the simplicity that I love. But as far as a mode of transportation, especially in the city, I would love to have one, just for light errands and fun.
Been a while since I've watched a documentary (the last one was Fantastic Fungi which was AMAZING) so I'm gonna have to check out Light & Magic! Thanks for all of the weekly goodies, definitely helps me "Keep Going". Have a Happy Halloween! =^.^=

Do! It's fascinating and even funny at times (fungi, imagine that... ahem.) Pleasure trading docs with you.
