If you thought this recently Blipped tin box was expensive, then the above is in a whole different league of ridiculousness. A mere, "GBP 39,694.00 incl. VAT" to you Madam/Sir. Nah. Haven't quite got my money's worth out of current (1980 vintage) main steed.

A bloke outside Aldi complimented the old beast this evening, before trying to convince me that his (large, and extremely heavy looking) electric bicycle was the future. For him, maybe. Whilst he bragged about an easy 25mph cruising speed, I noted he wasn't wearing a helmet. I can see that if they do "take off," then undoubtedly various legislative restrictions will follow: compulsory helmets, and MOT's for starters.
