Millsy Lol. I was expecting you

Like your local postman I’m always delivering!

    Problem with e-mtbs is they’re far too heavy and ugly as fuck. If you like popping and jumping over roots and stuff on the trials you’re better off with a normal bike. I also don’t buy this shit about them encouraging you to go harder and longer either, a human powered bike will be much better for fitness.

      Not tried an ebike yet but can imagine the weight of them going downhill will also limit how quickly you can turn. Reading everyone else view I am still not made my mind up if it would be worth the investment

      mono-stereo agreed. Can still see me buying one when my knees start to go though 🤷🏻‍♂️

        Millsy With you there. Im 47 and would still love to play football but its embarassing. That said, playing footy for a couple of hours a week and giving it some drops a load of weight.

        Prior to lockdown when I was in Nashville was playing footy at lunchtime 3 times a week and once at the weekend and was the fittest ive been for years. All gone to shit since then…..

          Shirley the point of the ebikes is to get a big comfy number and cruise about on them?

            LOL.

            Was thinking same but thought I must be missing something!!

              That’s what I thought until you take a harder look into it. Most of the decent bike have different riding modes. Sure you could put in comfort mode & just cruise around.

              if you want to piss about and have a laugh you might as well go for a proper e dirt bike.

                I’m embarking on a 100 mile ultra this saturday, the whole of the South Downs Way from Winchester to Eastbourne, all in the name of fun and enjoyment!

                  All the best Hursty. Sounds brutal, but boy I can’t wait to hit up South Downs whenever I visit my old school again. Pure beauty.

                  I’ve recently found out the benefits of replacing boxer shorts with briefs for badminton and especially table tennis, where you’re pretty much permanently in squat position because you have to stay low.

                  Also, 100% polyester t-shirts versus 100% cotton has be an revelation, given I sweat like Prince Andrew noncing when I play sports.
