Letterbox Chat

Arriving home today, i was checking my letterbox when a local jogger bails me up to talk electric bikes. Apparently it was the first time he had been able to catch-up to someone riding one, to have a chat.

He is interested in getting one, and was after the perspective of someone who had ridden one a bit.

I think i was able to help him out, explaining how it took the yucky sweatyness out of riding (which is especially handy when commuting in summer). Probably what had most effect was that i was standing there, having just ridden 6-7kms on a humid 27 degree day, wearing trousers and two layers of shirts - and i wasn't yucky, nor particularly out-of-breath.

Yay for electric bikes!
