Killing Me At The Pump : HaHa

Fill up the Golden Eagle Bike Engine with gasoline The only way to travel... on a sunny day. Fillerup with 32 Cents. Found a nickle on the ground so it actually only cost me 27 cents. Full throttle gives 26-28 miles per wee-little tank.

900+! Miles and an Oil Change

Wehoooooooooooo! 900+ miles and enjoying it.

On our Virtual Pretend Cross Country Bicycle Journey we are now settled in west Nashville. 928 miles from our starting point in Long Beach, New York on the Atlantic Ocean.

A week or so ago I decided to do an oil change. As recommended by Golden Eagle Bike Engines GEBE I got one of these squeezy things from the Dollar Only Store ... for a dollar. They had the one in the photo which had a longer, narrower tip. Thus, I did not have to attach the piece of tubing to the end in order to get the oil out.

Cost Trivia:
Less the cost of the gas used, the GEBE bicycle kit with new rim has cost me $698 divided by 928 miles = 75.21 Cents per mile. ... and decreasing.
928 miles divided by 30 miles a gallon at $2.80 gallon average, = $86.61 if I had used my car.
928 miles divided by 160 (low end bicycle motor estimate) at $2.80 gallon = $16.24 in gasoline for the bicycle.
