Hi,
Always wanted to cycle more than I could due to health issues, as an Asthma sufferer with traffic fumes, pollen, cold air and a whole load of other stuff that gets in the way. Been cycling about 18 months now when suitable conditions allow. Heres the bit: the bike I now use in an electric bike that takes away alot of the above issues due to not working so hard, hense not breathing so hard but enough to increase the heart rate, get the blood lungs and legs going. May be electric bikes are frowned upon by purists, but in my circumstances they have allowed me to enjoy the cycling experince of a 24 mile round trip commute to work.
When I was in the store choosing my bike (outside actually) a child and mother was walking past, when the child said "look mummy theres bikes for lazy people" I was a little annoyed at the time as they had no idea of my circumstances and I most certainly was not going to enlighten them. It just seems to me people draw their own conclusions before giving any thought as to why..
Any thoughts or comments on the whole electric bike scene? oh and by the way I'm lovin it.
