A Quicker Way Ohm

As another aged couple bomb past me on their supercharged electric bikes, I've been running the numbers and I think I can make it work.

I reckon that these grey dragsters are moving about twice as fast as me. Now my costs for this trip have averaged about Euros 35 per day and I've been away just over 3 weeks - say 24 days.

If I could save half those days by moving twice as fast then I would pocket Euros 420 every year.

If a top of the range electric bike costs say Euros 3,500, then it would have paid for itself in about 8 years. That, to me, is a good deal.
