I’ve just tried out the journey to work. A little premature since I’m not starting til next term, but it was a lovely sunny afternoon and I thought I’d get out in it.
I bought a second-hand electric bike a few months back (one of these), having been inspired by Ray’s lovely folding electric bike. It’s not been getting regular use but I’m going to use it to get to my new job. The trip is only 1.5 miles and takes about 10 minutes. The route is fairly flat but it still really helps to have a motor, especially for getting away at junctions. I also use the bike for getting to my allotment, which is a hilly journey.
