Riding an electric bike with a broken ankle. Ingenious, and perhaps a bit ridiculous
Get ready for another New York City freak show. Yes, it’s true. I broke my ankle. I wasn’t riding a Xootr scooter, a Brompton bike, or anything else that I lie about in the shop. It was actually a sinkhole in the wonderful Brooklyn sidewalk.
Of course, 6 weeks in a cast isn’t all bad. We managed to put together a killer electric bike that I can ride from Brooklyn to NYCeWheels every day. What is it like riding a souped-up ebike with crutches strapped to my back? Well you can follow along as I write about my experiences on an electric bike. I imagine it’s similar to being that guy that swallows swords at the circus, or the woman with the beard. Lots of people snapping my picture.
One week down, 5 more to go. You can join me and get an electric bike for yourself. At least you’ll look normal.
