Hi Everybody
My name is Ian and I live on the Cheshire / Shropshire border.
I have now retired and after spending most of my working life travelling from A to B as fast as possible and doing the reverse each evening, I had decided that I want to enjoy what is on my dooorstep (beautiful countryside, quite country lanes and an abundance of canal tow paths).
So 2 months ago I retrived my old mountain bike from the raffters of the garage (bought over 18 years ago and only used about 5 times, too busy working) and have started cycling just under 6 miles each morning before breakfast. What a joy.
However, I would like to cycle further afield, but have realised that the further you go, the further you have to travel back. So to help lighten the load on my old worn out knees, I have been considering and ebike.
Have looked and tested a few. Ideally would like a folding bike so that I could take it on the bus (making use of bus pass) and then cycling back home, from wherever the bus takes me.
Tested the "Volt Metro" and was very impressed with the ride, so I think that will be my first choice, unless anybody else can recommed an alternative.
What I would also like is a simple lightweight carry bag for the folding bike but have been unable to locate one on the internet. Any suggestions?
I'll keep you all informed on how I get on.
