Thinking of getting an e-bike?
Has the sunshine got you wondering about cycling a bit further, or steeper? Watch or listen again to our session with Robin Coates of Transition Malvern Hills and Luke Skinner of Drover’s Cycles in Hay-on-Wye as they discuss the benefits of e-bikes and what to think about before you buy. Robin describes a scheme that allows you to try out an e-bike before you make a purchase. And Rex Hickley (Rachel’s husband) gives his personal journey from push bike to e-bike and how it enables him to keep cycling in the face of increasing mobility problems.
