I did my first ride into our local town this morning, not very far (5 mile each way) Used my locks when I left the bike just for a short time but not a very commercial place so not too much of a worry. What was absolutely great was the freedom felt for not having to drive around looking for a parking place. Just jump off of the bike and it`s done:D

When I got back my monthly Cycling plus mag had been delivered and there was a DVD inside made by SIS the drinks and food makers for riding. Anyway they followed there team up one of the Tour de France routes into the Pyrenees. I was smiling to myself and thought how great it would be to come out of a side road near the end on the E bike and give them a run for the money:D They wouldn`t believe it!

Just remember you'd still need around 400watts or so to beat them!

Yeh! but they had been riding all day and were knacked, it would just be fun to even stay anywhere near them.
