An electric bike is keeping one septuagenarian in his touring saddle; he shares his story.
Pedelecs forum member, 5threeone, now 76, diarises his cycling youth, when he would think nothing of 140 mile round trips, to telling us how he made the switch from manpower alone to ‘going electric’ this year in order to continue his passion of touring.
Alan recently joined the Pedelecs forum to join in the chat; although a vastly experienced cyclist, like many others, he wanted to discuss his planned purchase and his subsequent experience of the Qwic Smart 4 Urban 7 model he settled on. Alan tells us how his passion for cycling began, where his adventures have taken him so far and the broader horizons opening up again now he has an electric bike.

(One to pull a chair up with a cup of tea. Alan, thank you again, a really inspiring read.)
