Cheaper by bike or not ?

[Shearwater Missile]

As I was coming out of our local Tesco today as I glanced their notice board I saw a charity bike ride. I believe that it was something to do with local churches. Anyway, when I looked at the cost to enter it was £10 but if you had an ebike it was £20. Am I missing something ? I`ll cancel that new ebike order right away !

Just looked at the website pages for the churches ride in September. Here in Kent it seems to be free to enter, they just expect you to get sponsored.

Tbh these deviants should be punished at every available opportunity....

Church goers or e-bike riders... or e-bike riders who go to church?

I think at this point we probably need a spreadsheet.

Liability insurance costs possibly.

If its true, its a bit off. Mrs D rides an ebike because her MS makes it sadly impossible for ride a normal machine. A lot of ebikie riders will be less able or perhaps seeking to extend their cycling career as they knock-on in years, and this is a discriminatory act towards them.

Liability insurance costs possibly.

I think most of these rides refuse to accept any liability, as far as possible, so that seems unlikely.

From what I understand, these church rides have no fixed routes. The idea is just to visit as many churches as you can and probably have a cake at each stop.

I doubt they could run the event without liability insurance.
E-bikes of course are a bigger liability.
