Thanks for that somewhat crazy word. Is it Dutch only?
Never had a bike with a tetrugtraprem as they are quite rare, but I have 
had a go on one. I like at least a few gears. If you aren't a super fit 
cyclist, it's very hard going on one gear.

I would like that, but equivalent Macs have never been in the price 
bracket. Not even close.
I have 4 PC's of varying age / speed, but only use one regardless.
I may set up a small footprint one in the shed, but only if I ever make 
it a proper workshop...
