Where do you live?
Currently live in Wimbledon, and I want to move.
- rwmj 11y agoAbout 5 miles north west of Watford. There are dozens of small villages round here. If you look hard you'll find cheap old ex-council houses built in the 1920s which were well made and come with loads of land (ours has 2800 sq ft of land). The catch is you won't have any public transport and will have to cycle or drive everywhere (I recommend an e-bike). And yes really I am 20 miles as the crow flies from Charing Cross station. All I need now is a flying car :-)
- zimpenfish 11y ago> 2800 sq ft I'm hoping you mean sq.m there since unless I'm mistaken, 2800 sq.ft isn't that much (unless that's distinct from the house but still...)
- rwmj 11y agoI meant 2800 sq ft of grounds. In the UK that's a generous but not enormous garden. If the garden was any bigger it would take too much time to do the gardening - as it is I have to devote a day or more per month just keeping it under control. The garden is big enough that I built an office in the garden which didn't appreciably make the garden feel any smaller: https://rwmj.wordpress.com/2013/07/10/garden-office-most-mostly-done/#content https://rwmj.wordpress.com/2013/07/10/garden-office-most-mos...
- zimpenfish 11y agoThat's a nice garden office!
- shocks 11y agoNice, thanks! I bought a motorcycle the moment I moved to London, couldn't commute without it. I'd go insane...
- rwmj 11y agoMy neighbour has a motorbike. That's also a very practical option for commuting/shopping here. The reason I like the e-bike is there is no licensing and it goes up and down hills nearly as well as a motorbike (it's very hilly round here).
- shocks 11y agoWhat e-bike do you have? The B52 Stealth Bomber ebike looks awesome.
- rwmj 11y agoWoosh Krieger. Cheap [relative to e-bikes] and cheerful. http://www.wooshbikes.co.uk/?krieger http://www.wooshbikes.co.uk/?krieger Edit: OK I see you're talking about e-(motor)bikes vs electric bicycles (pedelecs).
- shocks 11y agoThanks for the link, I didn't realise they came this cheap. Yes the B52 is a bit more "motorbikey" but it has pedals and falls back to being a regular bicycle too. :) It looks like a lot of fun!
