Thank you
@JohnEGreen .
I did try to cope with a push bike, but the effort & knee severely restrict the range or distance I can go, rather deterring me from wanting to use it sadly.
The Ebike I had & hopefully this one, were the polar opposite.
It was almost like having the motorcycles back.
I was looking for excuses to go ride them.
Need milk love ?
I'll go .
There's a big new supermarket a few miles away I'll get some from there ...type thing
Work can be a short car ride then overground to the office.
(Too far for me to walk)
But on wet rainy days I can cycle there, around a mile and on less inclement days I can cycle the ebike to work, just under 4 miles, and last bit up out of the Thames valley.
One home trip back & I was cycling 8-10 miles 3 days a week even if I'm officially a 65³/⁴ yr old cripple...lol
On a more sensible note, I found the Ebike actually safer.
My route in to work & back would if I had just a pedal bike mean taking the most direct route.
In my case some rather busy little roads...eek.
But with the Ebike, I happily detoured to a slightly longer journey by opting for the less busy roads either side of the more traffic congested main routes.
Meaning a safer, less stressful journey on the Ebike.
Have to say unless it's for a particular need, (aka racing clubs, etc)
I can't see how pedal bikes will even be an option in a few years time (unless for children )
