Near me, in Kincardine. There's a road which is one way. It's perfectly legal to cycle against the cars. There's a sign up to that effect. However, it's strange to cycle against the one way system but it's legal. Mind you, the first time I came to it, I was emm unsure about it. :) It's here...

I agree totally. I see no point in buying an electric bike and then me struggling up a hill. Full power for me.

If you're Scottish then I think you'll Know what I'm saying. If not just forget it, it's probably best not brought up in this thread, it's weird enough in here already. No, I don't think most Tory voters up here are respectable.

Are you really from Dundee and making such a comment about respectable Tory voters in Scotland?

That's not going to be a big seller in Scotland. ;)

In your humble opinion of course. The OP needs to get his wife to try different types and makes of bike before deciding. In my garage right now there's 2 hub motor bikes and a crank drive bike. I've never found the crank drive to feel more or less natural.

You did realise he was just at the wind up didn't you?

I've never met his wife but, she's a wife. They're all the same. ;)

I promise you that she won't use that as an excuse to buy a handbag. She's a woman, she'll buy a handbag anyway, your bike won't make any difference.

Sadly, yes :) I'm old. I qualify for my bus pass soon. :)

You had a 'John Bull repair outfit' ;)

I think they're the same company.

Are you thinking of Katrine wheelz? http://www.katrinewheelz.co.uk/ They hire bikes out on Loch Katrine. The trail there is good for testing them.

There's an eBike shop in Linlithgow. http://www.easygoebikes.com/ He appears to have a try before you buy thing. He is in a good area for trying bikes with hills and flat roads and tracks all around his shop. As to buying online: I've got 3 electric bikes all bought online. I've got 2 Kudos...
