EBIKES

“To use the word transformative is not an exaggeration. The first Saturday with the family cargo e-bike, the girls and I chatted away as I pedalled along by the river, easily making drop off for drama and gymnastics – which was previously impossible due to traffic and always stressful and frustrating even when sharing lifts with friends. I found I had time to stop at a cafe, have a coffee, check my phone and actually relax for a moment – it was surreal – before picking up the girls, and a friend (!) and heading home. The fact that I’d also covered off some exercise as well is an additional bonus! I feel like I have my Saturday morningback, which as any busy mother knows is so precious – and it costs so much less than a car! Plus my daughters (6 and 8) are over the moon with the whole experience, they can’t wait to jump on and head off for the day – it’s unbelievable how genuinely it has impacted. I can only advise people to try one – and let go of any inhibitions or worries that cycling isn’t for them, I’m so glad that Jamie introduced me to the idea, listened to what I needed and helped me find the right bike for me. It’s a life-style change that I’m so delighted I’ve made.”
