E bikes are a bloody menace. I cannot be the only person to nearly kill myself chasing the bike up to road before hearing the ‘humm’ which explains the sweat, lack of breath and banging heartbeat.

Don't I bloody know it. Bought the missus one to start getting her out & build up fittness and confidence. All I seem to do is bury meself chasing her down.

Well, apart from the other day, whilst hitting a short steep climb she managed to turn the motor off rather than onto high power. How I laughed

The other week I saw two lads coming towarda me on the shared cycle path on mountain bikes doing about 30mph. Without pedalling!. As they zoomed past I was engulfed in a cloud of blue smoke and engine buzz. It seems they had modified their bikes by fitting 2 stroke engines to them with throttles etc. God knows where the petrol tank was. I caught in on hd video. Informed the police. You can clearly make out their faces. Police woman didn't know them. I gave her a cd with the film on and al she was bothered about was if I could print of a herd copy for her!
Needless to say I haven't heard anything about it.

No doubt this will be 'cyclists' fault as well when the mainstream media get hold of it...

I was overtaken by an older woman on her bicycle the other week. After much sweating I overtook her to realise that her serene fitness was artificially enhanced, which made me feel better!
