UK e-bike boom predicted within two years as sales start to rise
British cyclists might be finally embracing the electric bike after
sales rose steadily in 2016, with a “boom” apparently just around the corner. Electric bikes have proved exceptionally popular on the continent, as commuters use them as *cheap and efficient ways to get to work*. Germany has seen a particular boom in the electric bike market, with 535,000 units sold in 2015. http://www.cyclingweekly.com/news/la...p69QLe6bCMV.99 -- Bod |

British roads aren't safe enough for cyclists yet. I've got mixed feelings about the bikes too - strikes me that people might buy them because they can't be bothered with exercise. Now, it's better than say driving to work, but for different reasons. Mind, if I had the money, I wouldn't mind one - looks highly amusing :-) -- Cheers, Rob |

the pathological attention whore of all the uk ngs, blathered again: When I used to go out ridng with my eldest son he would go slower for me to keep up, but now on my Ebike it's me going slower for him to keep up :-) They are a great leveller and yes they are really good fun Get a tow rope. Get a brain, Birdbrain! -- More of Birdbrain Macaw's (now "James Wilkinson" LOL) usual sociopathic bull****: "Does your dog leave **** everywhere in your house because it hasn't wiped it's arse? Do you allow it to urinate on people's walls and hedges like most dog walkers?" MID: |
