Hi fellow Pedelecs

[123Taff]

Hi everyone. I am a 66 year old retired Ambulance Officer living 600 feet up the side of a Welsh mountain in sunny South Wales. I have always used cycling as a means to keep a level of fitness by mainly mountain biking over the local hills. Having had a knee replacement 3 years ago I have turned to road/cycle path cycling but could not stand the thought of that 600 feet climb at the end of every session. I therefore purchased a Carrera Crossfuse electric bike and can now use it regularly to maintain a reasonably good level of fitness at my age. Obviously, these sessions have been restricted by Covid at the moment, but I am enjoying the freedom the electric pedal assist has given me. I try to use the pedal assist as little as possible, but it is there for when it is needed.

Welcome. going electric is a very liberating assist on hills as it gets you out there when otherwise you might not be able to face it

Hi. My grandpa is 69 years old, he loves cycling, too. Exercise is really a good way to keep healthy. He said he will keep cycling until 90.

That's great and a non impact form of exercise. Hope you go with him sometimes.
