Lobbying by the Big Borrow Checker is real:

The Camberville E-Bike Lending Library just crossed two years of bike loan-days since October 1st, with 4200 tracked miles on the odometers of the library bikes.
The first loan from the library was a year ago this month, but I didn't get serious about tracking loans until October. Since then, more than 144 different loans have happened... and more than 45 people bought e-bikes after borrowing one!

What I have been reading today
Well "Head Over Heels" 2023 has not a lot of reading material - it is pictures - by some of US most appreciated photographers and all of two of the most beautiful people in Hollywood. The book weighs in at 2kg - and I nearly didn't check it out of the library due to its size and weight.
