I have a dark admission to make. I recently bought an electric bicycle. Ahhh I know, a huge drop from an 1100cc Suzuki. But given I'm on half a hundredweight of medication for the old prostate problem and the oncologist has told I must exercise I figured it would be a good way to comply.
I've cycled all my life but North Cornwall and Devon doesn't understand the concept of
'flat' bits of landscape, (Flat Earthers get stapled to the church door around here,) the old electric bike allows me to pedal up the hills like I used to many years ago, and it is far more enjoyable than one of those static exercise bikes that take up half your living space in a bungalow.
So far I haven't flattened the battery and maximum run has been 12 miles. (I only use the electric assist on hills.) Of course, the minute I assembled it out of the box, the bloody summer fell over !!
