A good large frame bike, lightweight is nice. I've had several very
interesting bikes to ride. One had a cam system on the crank such that
the down stroke on the pedals had a different effect than the up.
Another was just a very nice but lightweight comfortable seat
mountainish bike.Friends left them with me for awhile and asked me to
ride them to keep them from rusting up. I need a bike with a lot of
gears because we do have hills here on the island.
An electric car like the cute ones rented to tourists in San Francisco.
I could use this in good weather for 90% of my travel and I have a
couple of very nice big solar panels I could use to do some of the
charging.
Or an electric motor assist kit for my Rhoades Car. That's a 4 wheeled
bicycle I have. Unfortunately I think the ahem un-ergonomic unevolved
positioning of the recumbent seats makes it far less efficient to pedal
than a bicycle. Both passenger and driver can pedal and it has 36 gears
but - it is not practical around here w/o power assist. Again I have
the solar panels I could use to charge it if I had any workable
motorizing kit.
A secondary disc brake for the Rhoades Car. Already has the primary one.
UPDATE: I have a 2001 Volvo V70 now so we have seatbelts and heat. Gas mileage not so good :) - avg 22 mpg. We don't go far now.
A newer, safer automobile than I have (1991 Dodge Colt) - ie one
where the seat belts will definitely work in a crash. Either gas or
hybrid but I'd need something with decent gas mileage. I used to have a
wonderful Honda with a moonroof, A/C and power everything - but we got
T-boned by a pickup truck on the passenger side. Luckily my son was
unharmed due to the good construction of the doors and side
reinforcements of the Honda Prelude.
Wild request - Segway - for the geek fascination factor.
