Thanks guys I am only 33 but have had a couple of years sat in front of the TV and my fitness is shocking. Just rode a couple of miles this morning and it took me 20mins to recover. I am a smoker as well as tubby! I do want some exercise at weekend and on my return journey from work. Looking at the wisper the range seems amazing 56 miles (90km) and if the police in Wales use them it could be just what I need for longer weekend rides in the hills. Thanks again

Thanks for the replies all great stuff I have just read back the original post and realise it does not make much sense! I will try not to post again after a few of pints! :o I think I was trying to ask if I needed 2 Ebikes. One to get me 4.5 miles to work with no sweat and one to do a 20ish mile long route at weekends on extreme hills or if there is a Bike that could do both well. Thanks again.

Hi guys and girls, Sorry for the essay but I hope someone will feel sorry for me and help me out! I am just getting back in to the cycling world after a break of a couple of years. The reason for this break was my car which relegated my bike to the back of the garage (along with my fitness, motivation, slender waistline, spare cash and social conscience). A few months ago my parked car was hit by a drunk driver in a stolen car along with four others on the street. Two of the damaged cars had fully comp insurance and are happily driving around in new cars. Two were third party only and their insurance companies have washed their hands of the incident and its now down to our solicitors to deal with. Can you guess what type of insurance I have Because the police are still investigating quite a complex case my solicitors will not take the matter to court. I have been informed that forensic evidence of the airbag on the stolen car may take another 6 weeks, then the court case, then the claim........... OK, anger vented I have been to work on my lovely touring bike a few times on cool mornings but still end up sweating and useless, when I eventually get there... I cant imagine how bad it will be when it rains and I have to put the waterproofs on. My solution to this was to start hitting the Pennines on the 20 odd mile circular route that I used to do for fun on the weekend too get my fitness levels back up (I was still doing the route in the car)! But I can't face it! Shall I accept that my best days are behind me as we all should at some point in our lives? I only travel 4.5 miles to work but I would really like to get back to weekend cycling as well. And I loathe having to pay insurance premiums again.
