I am forever being told that owning/cycling an electric bike is cheating! Really? I am like an awful lot of adults who have to travel to and from work and my choice of transport is my electric bike which I use everyday come rain or shine. Somedays I may peddle a bit, others I might just let the motor get me there and use the pedals as "foot rests". Surely if I am cheating, then everybody who is getting to and from work by any means of transport whereby they are not using their legs/energy i.e bus, car, train etc. is also cheating? My bike is a vehicle that gets me to where I need to get to (quicker than most other forms of transport in rush hour) and is a lot more enjoyable as my route takes me through two parks. How many times have you been told you are cheating?
