New York

[carpetbagger]

Just got back from a few days in New York. The photo is central park with its cycle track,ignore the road as there were no cars on it. If i had more time i was going to hire a bike and get a few laps in.
I saw about 5/6 pedelecs in 5 days,the first passed the taxi on the way from the airport very close to our hotel. They all seemed to be the same type similar to older ezee types.

New York is the home of long established e-bike dealer Nycewheels, eZee agents for many years. New York resident and pedelecs member RobNYC has an eZee Quando bought from them and commutes to work in the city on it.

Oddly enough, New York has a total ban on e-bikes! Fortunately no-one has ever thought to enforce it.

I wish I had a pound for every time I have cycled through New York. I have never visited the Central Park, though. For those who have never been there, it is a small village near town of Coningsby, South Lincolnshire, and is only a couple of miles from National Cycle Route one.

they probably banned them because you don't need them ! They should send New Yorkers to the Uk to see what a real hill is like !

I'm sure it's possible to do something close to a world tour without ever leaving the shores of the UK Neptune.

While touring Scotland a few years ago, I came across a little village or hamlet called Moscow. That was in Ayrshire and further south, there was a Holywood, (only one L but pronounced the same as the one in California). If we take account of place names originating in the UK but perhaps more universally known elsewhere for varying reasons such as Auckland, it shouldn't take too long to compile an itinerary for a world tour.

If an American ever asks me about the range of my E-bike, I can honestly say that it will do Boston [where I live] to New York and back on one charge. The town of Worksop in Nottinghamshire has a suburb called Rhodesia.I lived in Lincoln for a while, where the cathedral [900 years old] attracts a lot of American visitors. I was talking to a Yank who had just finished walking around the Cathedral. He told me that he thought it was very kind of us Brits to have named one of our cities after an American President.
Incidentally when I was a kid at school I asked the teacher where Old Zealand was, as we have a New Zealand. He did not know, but I have since wondered if New Zealand is so named because it is the Land of New Zeal.
