Good Afternoon All
After the last 7 years of commuting via train into the city center I am thinking about getting an electric bike and commuting via bike. There have always been a few stumbling blocks when it comes to biking in, one of which was having somewhere to shower / change, however I joined the gym near work so that problem is solved.
The distance is not far just under 7 miles if I stick to the route that I sometimes use to run to work, however that is mostly along a very busy road, so would be fine pre 7am but less fun later on. However there is a 10 mile route which 95% on off road cycle paths, so with suitable lights this would be a good option I think.
Currently it takes about 40 minutes from front door to front door on the out journey and about 50 on the return, so I would imagine I would be in the ball park for riding in.
Financially I pay about £80 a month for the train so again the cost if I can go down the cycle to work scheme route would be pretty much the same.
Have I missed anything in my reasoning?
Top choice at the moment is the Woosh Rio FB.
Cheers
