Commuting, errands, fitness and rides out and generally trips when car use isn't really needed.

Commuting, have recently tried some offroad riding. Rear suspension is missed dearly during the "offroad sessions"...

Taking the dog out, shopping, taking stuff to the dump, delivering eliquids I make & just getting from A to B.
Every ride has to have a purpose. I don't cycle for pleasure/leisure although I really enjoy it. A Boxer Shuttle cargo trike has replaced our second vehicle saving £2000 a year.

Only now for leisure and fitness. Have had my Powerbyke for twelve years and just bought a Wisper. Had suffered from occasional angina for around 8 years. However on New Years Eve, early morning I had chest pains which would not go away so Rosemary phoned for an ambulance. Taken to our local hospital, Glan Clywd, and had an angiogram which showed blockages in arteries which needed a bypass. Bypass was done in Liverpool and was told could not ride my bike for three months.
Now feeling very fit, no shortness of breath or pain and can ride both bikes using very little battery. Enjoying and appreciating life to the full.

We don't have a car and I use my Woosh Big Bear to get wherever I need to go. I use it to a lot to transport my six year old son around who has low-functioning autism. I have a child seat for him which is designed for a child aged between five and ten, which I ordered from the Netherlands. We live in Conwy county and there are some fairly hilly bits round here. Recently I did a solder shunt mod on the controller to increase the bike's torque, and also got a new cassette with a 34t lowest gear. These two adjustments together have given the bike exceptional hill climbing ability, which is much needed in our case given the 19 stone of weight that is on board when I ride with my son.

Mines a bit of an all rounder. Being a hub drive mtb with throttle. I use it for transport whenever I can. So trips to shops takeaways pubs friends houses. I also like to ride around parks and woods. I've even taken it to a proper mtb trail.

Commuting, shopping, visiting people. Hardly ever going out just for the hell of it, which is a shame, but I do enjoy the commute :)

Well, I'm not central London. I'm in the London borough of Bexley. I choose the right pubs in quiet residential areas not high streets. And can generally see the bike. Plus I go out early lol.
