Too much is what it would be!

Went for a ride with the spouse today. While we were stopped for lunch, I tried to start a conversation about how electronic shifting would be nice for her.
That trial balloon was deflated before it ever got inflated.

Was right behind an ugly crash today. We were going about 35 mph with a trash truck blocking the opposite lane. A driver behind the truck pulled pulled out across the double yellow, people hit the brakes, and one rider went down hard. Looked like a fractured clavicle and very painful. Felt terrible and glad I wasn’t involved. The driver and trash men both treated us to a stream of invective as they drove off.

Electronic shifting wouldn't move the needle for my wife, either... but she's certainly interested in the idea of riding with the assistance of a motor.
