    Ebikes and exercise goals ? Really ?

    Why is it just about exercise goals - what they should have said is thank you to those 2000 cyclists who are not polluting the planet by reducing car usage.

    Ebikes and exercise goals ? Really ?

    I sold my car 6 weeks ago and went back to e-biking. Have covered 1600 miles. Have lost 3/4 stone in weight, now 14 stone exactly. You can get fit on an E-Bike, and you can lose weight - especially if it stops you pulling into the garage on the way home and buying that pork pie. I try riding at...

    Grant Shapps wants a speed limit for cyclists

    Ok I can understand the speed limit from a safety point of view (speed kills) as long as it is set to something sensible.

    Restricted vs De-Restricted Haibike 6

    Having been away from Electric Bikes for a number of years I recently purchased a Haibike 6 i630 Mid Trekking. Notched up a quick 500 kilometres on this with very little ease in the first 2 weeks on my daily 50 kilometre / 31 mile commute to work and back. Given that I average on the...
