Pushing my bicycle out of the garage, a nosy neighbor commented that the aerial on the back was a little long. "That's got to be ten feet high", he said.

"You can never be to careful". I responded, briefly gesturing at the long thin steel wire with the tiny flag waving back and forth in the wind. "The flag increases visibility", I assured him.

He watched confounded, as I hastily pedalled my bicycle onto the road, taking note of the sleek panelling that concealed the electrical system and a powerful electrical armature and storage battery.

"Be careful!", he yelped from between waving hands, as the wheels of the bike slipped into the streetcar tracks on the road. "Can't you see the tracks?"

Then the aerial made contact with the streetcar power lines and the electrical motor powered up and the bike sped quickly away.

       Sounds like it could be dangerous.   

       How would you balance?
