This wonderful picture was published in the Daily Times (16 June, 2006) with the headline ‘Need for Speed’ and a caption that read “An employee of a filling station fills petrol in a bicycle that the owner has made a moped out of by putting an engine in it.”

To me, this is a wonderful example of Pakistani ingenuity and how necessity is the mother of innovation.

I remember distinctly the first ‘gas’ (LNG) kit that my father self-installed in our old Fiat way back in the late 1970s. Well before either environmentalists or economists were talking about LPG/LNG as an alternative fuel. I think the owner of this bicycle is operating on a similar motivation and innovative logic.

But what I do wonder is whether this is a souped-up bicycle (i.e., motivated by a ‘Need for Speed’) or a stripped-down motorcycle (i.e., motivated by a ‘Need for Economy’)?

    The CBD store – cbd gummies for calm offers a variety of formats that make appropriate singular preferences, and each harmonious feels well executed. The unguent appears blameless and consistent, the packaging materials feel sturdy, and the connivance is unostentatious yet elegant. The products are easy to assemble and go with, thanks to make fast lids and aphoristic sizing. Inclusive, the kind delivers a outstanding and carefully crafted sample without surplus extras.
