I love my e-bike. I would never be able to travel in and out the Valley, where I live, if it wasn’t for my e-bike and even that was hard at first but such an achievement when I finally mastered it. I now bike to work 3 times a week and use the electric part of the bike as little as I can and it’s comforting to know it’s there if I need it.

Growing up, I was lost confidence in cycling. In the few times I dared to get on a bicycle I was nearly hit by cars and was car-doored in undergrad in Ōtepoti Dunedin. It was terrifying for me, and... mehr lesen

Hmmm never really thought that owning an e-bike is classed as cheating, despite some people telling me so. I too own an e-bike, and pretty much like you I think the e-bike has changed the way I ride - it certainly has encouraged me a to head out on it a lot more. And I, too, will be taking part in the challenge, riding on my e-bike... Good luck!

Wow, thanks for sharing your moving story. I was diagnosed with Parkinsons four years ago. I too have trouble walking and coordination at times. Those limitations along with the pandemic have ended my lifelong basketball career. Though I can still ride a bike I bought an Ice Adventure recumbent trike with an electric assist motor. I can't stay off it I ride without the motor or with it on the lowest setting as much as possible. This is a beautiful, expensive machine, one can obtain an recumbent trike for a lot less. If your balance challenges advance, as mine may, you might consider a trike. As well as the workout I love exploring and riding through nature. There's an beautiful, 25 mile long Greenbelt in Boise and lots of trails too. Good luck!

I was hit in October and have stopped commuting as a result. Inattentive driver. I was lucky as it was a sideswipe and I did not go under the vehicle. I've come to the conclusion, for me anyway, the risk is not worth the reward. I miss commuting, but I'll do my riding on bicycle trails and perhaps some group rides. I'm 58 and recovery has been slow.
