@kdfrawg He considered doing that but the already had a HyperJuice available.

@sumudu A friend paid me AU$400 a few months ago for a similar MBA with a battery that's only good for 3 hours. His son uses it at university. My friend Patrick is a Mac technician and has cheap access to the HyperJuice range of external battery packs that are compatible with MAcBook Airs.
@jextxadore I rather suspect if cobblestones are an issue that having the saddle permanently attached would be vital.

@matigo I did. My current 11-in MBA is an ex-Apple machine, just 2 years old with the maximum available upgrades applied. Core i7, 8 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD. Paid AU$1495 and recovered AU$400 by selling the old one to a friend. AU$1095 at current exchange rates is US$826.
It's all very well Van Morrison assuring me it's a marvellous night for a Moondance but this cop handing me my pants doesn't agree.
I do need to take up cycling again: I have two bikes, one folds up and fits in the luggage space of my Toyota Yaris hatchback without having to move the rear seats forward. The other is a basic mountain bike - more like a ruggedised road bike than a proper mountain bike. I probably haven't ridden either of them for over a year. There's plenty of bike tracks and parks to ride on, the land is mostly flat.
@jextxadore About 20% of fatalities are motorcyclists yet they're about 4% of the road users. Last year there were 257 fatalities out of a population of around 6 million.

When taking my early morning dump (aka Morning Motion) I observed there was perhaps ⅓ of a serve of dry cat food remaining in the cat's bowl. Then when I was back in bed, I heard her come inside & chow down. I suspect she's finished that as the wee beastie is currently atretched out on top of me, purring violently.
@hazardwarning Figures published last week revealled motorcyclists to have a road fatality rate of 1 in 5, that is, for every 5 fatalities, one is a motorcyclist. Scary stuff.
