You may have gleaned from my occasional mention of it that I enjoy my bike riding.
Well, that was until a little while ago when I began to find that, due to the ravages of age, keeping up with my mates was becoming more and more difficult.
And despite my bubbling enthusiasm for all parts of my life, I found that quite depressing and was getting ready to quit… a prospect I found too terrible to countenance!
My wife suggested that I solve the problem by purchasing an electric bike.
And to me, that felt like quitting… just sitting in the saddle whilst the motor pushed me around. No way!
Fortunately, in the depths of despair, I discovered the real truth about ebikes!
You gotta start pedalling before you get any power!
The motor doesn’t cut in or give you any assistance until you put in. There’s no bludging, no just sitting there… you have to get things moving (and keep them moving or the motor just cuts out again!).
Just like life!
Nothing happens until you put in!
