Hi, It's a Lombardo from around 2013. Search that name in the folding bike forum. There are a few threads there about it. Thanks

It's not an e-bike, no battery. It runs on muscles feed by protein.

I'm up in the country this weekend. I needed a reason to get outside so I rode to buy groceries instead of driving. It's hilly up here compared with Manhattan!

It was a satisfying ride. I like doing things under my own power.

1971 Raleigh Super Course with nothing original except brake calipers and headset. Dynamo powered lights, fenders, rack, etc.

I believe it says 'Black Mountain Self Propelled Vehicle'. The frame brand owner put that on some frames to recognize where the frames are built(Taiwan).

Nice pic -- did you have to wait a long time to see that long stretch of bikeway have zero other bikes on it? It would be tragic if it were that unused. If I were one of those hundreds of poor schlubs up on the walkway, I'd see all that empty pavement and think "wow, if I was on a bike I could be moving so much faster!"

Thanks, it depends on the time of day.
While I was crossing the Manhattan Bridge, a major tourist attraction on a day with nice weather; I came across about a dozen of riders, that's mid-day early afternoon.
During rush hours there are many more cyclists on the bike path.
Honestly, most of the time, bikes on bike path are faster than the car traffic on the bridge, even though I don't ride that fast (mostly under 15 mph) during my commute.

According to post, about 5000 cyclists use that bike path per day:
