The Sinclair Research C5 is a battery electric vehicle invented by Sir Clive Sinclair and launched by Sinclair Research in the United Kingdom on 10 January 1985. The vehicle is a battery-assisted tricycle steered by a handlebar beneath the driver's knees. Powered operation is possible making it unnecessary for the driver to pedal. Its top speed of 15 miles per hour (24 km/h), is the fastest allowed in the UK without a driving licence.
This one is on display in the Coventry Transport Museum.
Haven't seen a Sinclair station with the quaint dinosaur logo for a lot of years around the east but they're still going strong out west I guess.

A few of the buildings in this view are still there: the Post Office building, now part of Sinclair Centre, is on the right, the Vancouver Block is off in the distance, the Rogers Building in the middle distance, and the building that's to the left of it that's poking above the smaller buildings in front. This was taken from the foot of Cordova street.
Sinclair's Refinery and oil storage
A company called "Holly" bought this refinery after buying the Sunoco refinery. So now the Sinclair logo is painted over. The Sinclair fleet is still roaming the streets of Tulsa, however, not sure what the whole story is there. Dec '09
The classic action surf film has been a hit adapted for the theatrical stage. The show made its Boston debut at the Sinclair on Sat., Jan. 31. Photos © 2015 by Scott Murry.

Der Konstrukteur Sinclair ist der, der auch den ZX Spektrum erfunden hatte (berühmter Heimcomputer aus der Zeit). Das Dreirad konnte mit Batterie fahren oder mit Pedalantrieb. Es war zu teuer und wurde kaum verkauft. Vollkunststoffkarosserie, 250 W Eektromotor, Rechweite 35 km, 25 km/h, Gesamtgewicht 45 kg, Baujahr 1985.
I'm pleasantly surprised to see that this piece of Installation Art below the dunes at Sinclair Bay is still here, and obviously cared for. The rubber gloves are one of the most common bits of flotsam and jetsam found on beaches here, washed off fishing boats.

When I first moved here, this Sinclair was a functional station--it was always priced a bit higher than the QTs of the area which probably contributed to its demise. It is ironically across Southwest Boulevard from the Sinclair refinery.
I think someone has reopened it (again!)
This little home computer was released on the 5th of March, 1981. It turns 39 today. This particular specimen isn't the prettiest ZX81 out there, but it's mine. ♥
It could only do black and white on a TV screen and had an awful, awful ‘keyboard’—the term used very loosely. It's not just about half the size of a normal keyboard, it's also a microwave oven-like membrane keyboard with exactly zero feedback.
But that didn't matter, because you only had 1,024 bytes of RAM anyway, and you had less than that free to use. Forget novels, you wouldn't be typing letters on this, either! In fact, this description wouldn't fit in the ZX81's RAM even if it had lower case letters. (it didn't)
This computer had a FAST mode and a SLOW mode. In SLOW mode, the computer was sluggish even by 1981 standards. In FAST mode, it was a lot faster, but the display turned off.
Still, it was cheap, and many of us old bastards got our first contact with a computer on a Sinclair ZX81.
I was surprised to see that Leni's former husband, John Sinclair, was there too. He lives in New Orleans now. Long trip for him. He was selling his book "Guitar Army: Street Writings/Prison Writings." John was a light in my youthful constellation of countercultural stars. Partly because he lived down the highway in Detroit, then Ann Arbor, during my time growing up as a sometime hippie in East Lansing, Michigan, but more particularly because of an unusual bond I felt for him. A bond formed by the fact that my stepfather was the director of the state corrections department during the time John was in prison. My stepfather told me once that he had a role in John's early release. I asked John about that today, and he thought I must be mistaken; that my stepfather might have signed some paper as a mere formality, but that he surely didn't have any interest in springing John early. I'm not sure who's right.
