It's funny I had a similar experience yesterday on way home, I overtook this guy on a really long hill, He was on a road bike and had all the gear i.e. racing top etc . I came up behind him and waited for about half a mile I was in two minds whether to overtake as he was going fairly quickly for that hill, (I have overtaken a lot slower people ) but as hill got steeper I was really holding back so I took him He caught up at the lights at top of hill and first thing he said was I hope that bike is assisted The devil in me thought about saying no at first but I then nodded . He joked he thought he was losing it

Thanks for the replies and advice guys. Had her out today, nice day but pretty windy here about 15 mph . What can I say I love it, went up some of the hills I usually struggle with being a slight asthmatic my lungs are usually popping out of my chest on one particular hill but today despite the wind it was a breeze, still had to put in effort but only panting at the top not gasping for air (: . Now can't wait till I take her out again. Like a kid with a new toy.

After months of researching and deliberating I took the plunge and bought the Trek T-80 bike. Got a great deal from Neil at Edinburgh cycle company, who took money off the bike and chucked in panniers and also changed the standard tyres to the marathon puncture resistant ones free. The bike is exactly what I am after depending on my mood I can set it to one of 4 levels of assist . First commute to work will be Monday but going to have a good play with it this weekend .

Hi if for any reason the sale falls through I'll take it if you can deliver.

Thanks for the reply. If it is just the colour then might as well go for the reduced bike.

Thanks for the reply . Looks an interesting bike, just worried about if things were to go wrong technically with these electric bikes , I like the thought of a local dealer.

I am looking at buying an electric bike been reading the reviews on the forum and like the sound of the trek Fx. Does anyone know the difference between 2009 and 2010 version as a local shop is selling the 2009 quite a bit cheaper.
