I used to be a bit sniffy about e-bikes but I now think they are a great option for those wanting to get fit from a lowish base. Apologies if that sounds patronising but I doubt there were many people less fit than I when I took to cycling at the age of 39. Within a couple of years I had lost around 3 stone in weight & dropped 5-6 inches off my waist.
I am pretty determined when it comes to exercise but that is not the case for everyone.
One of our key health issues in this country is an obesity epidemic, one of the best ways to tackle this is to get our population more active. Our love affair with the motor car needs to become more distant; this will also help the environment.
The usual snippy comments about a handful of teenagers causing ‘mayhem’ is so insignificant compared to the continued damage caused by motor vehicles. Where is the similar level of outrage about the number of pedestrian deaths caused by motorists?
We need more green transport solutions, the kind of people this offends are not really who I would wish to be associated with.
