Hi Mark.... Thanks for dropping by...@ The bike shed<br />Hi Mark.... Thanks for dropping by and the advice regarding riding the e-bike I will keep that in mind. By the way I still have your book and have read it a number of times.....<br /><br /><br />@Dave<br />Yes..they do seem to be more and more popular these days. As you say if it keeps me cycling then it has to be good.TrevorW�� https://www.blogger.com/profile/13212954091289189979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5125377846799056778.post-62964161101958873852020-09-28T08:05:01.360+01:002020-09-28T08:05:01.360+01:00A couple of our club members have similar style of...A couple of our club members have similar style of bikes and they are really pleased with them. I know very little about the drive systems but from what they say depending on the level of assist that you use you can still get a lot of exercise. I dont blame you for buying one as anything that keeps you cycling has to be good. I'm sure you'll have great fun with it.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01047342243577979820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5125377846799056778.post-61163223320965202102020-09-27T21:01:58.501+01:002020-09-27T21:01:58.501+01:00I have an ebike as well as (many) traditional ones...I have an ebike as well as (many) traditional ones. Got it this summer. The thing to get your head around is that they are not necessarily about making the riding easier per se. I get just as good as work out on the bike - but I go further for the same given effort. On the hills in the Alps (where I spend much of the summer) I might typically ride at say 7 MPH - with the ebike on low/eco setting I can ride 12MPH for the same effort. This means in a two-hour ride I can cover much greater ground. The turbo settings are good for 'get out of jail' but most times I ride it on the lowest setting just as an extra boost to speed, but not necessarily to the effort `I am putting in. The really important thing I find is to ride the full range of gears as normal and NOT use the motor in place of changing gear - up or down! Ttry to think of the motor as going up a chainring size but without having to put in the extra effort. The bike shedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05195882998271591934noreply@blogger.com
