Please don’t ask to see my tatts 👍
As Tashyboys quest is to get a bit fitter. Ave got it in me head an electric mountain bike is the way forward. Living on the doorstep of Sherwood Forest, Well it ticks lots of boxes. A good pal said he would take me out on his E bike and so did a PP. So today I turned up at me PP house and off we set. The bike he had is a specialized hard tail. Now seeing as the last bike I went on had Raleigh Chopper written down the side. Suffice to say bikes have come on a bit in the last 45 years.
Getting the negatives out of the way, I fell off about 6 times. Every time when I had stopped or tried to set off. Nowt Major coz every time on grass. Suffice to say I loved it. We set off at 12.00 and 2 hrs 20 mins later we were having a cuppa at Hardwick Hall. When I got off the bike me legs had gone. I got the tray of drinks and snap and I had a wobble in the cafe. I nearly dropped the lot.
After 20 mins we set off again. This time to silverhill pit tip. I fell off again. We pulled up at his place around 4.20 pm and we had done around 27 miles with the last half a mile up hill. Having spoken to my PP he is 70years old and looks as fit as a butchers dog. I was gobsmacked. But he kinda endorsed my quest to get a bit fitter.
So now I am looking at E bikes, I had an idea what I wanted which was a full suspension. As I am sat here the bit down below between my sewerage plant and pleasure room is bruised to high heaven. It is throbbing and aching. So it endorses my quest for full suspension and a comfy seat.
I was astonished how easy it was to ride without feeling like I was gonna have a heart attack. Fresh air, using your brain and body. I ticked a lot of boxes.
Re a bike, I am leaning towards a Lapierre overvolt or Haibike. But the specialised was special.It felt a bit like I was over leaning though. Any advice on E bikes greatly appreciated.
Finally a few observations.
1, if you think the roads are rammel in a car. Try them on a bike.
2, some dogs love barking at cyclists.
3, Some dog owners like there dogs off a lead and let them go for cyclists.
4, most dog owners are responsible.
5, me perineum is on fire.
