The All New Megathread

[Sir Trev]

Took the ebike up a very lllooonnnggg hill to get to a coffee roastery 5 miles away only to find my order has not been packaged yet and can I pop back on Monday? Nice ride I guess, although it rained rather on and off, and the local Audi drivers are SO impatient. And the ride back was so much easier.

One of the remaining nice things about working from home (everything else lost it's appeal a long time ago now) is taking ten minutes out in the middle of the morning to grind some beans and make a nice fresh coffee. Sometimes in the French press, sometimes the V60 depending on my mood. Trouble is I cannot drink instant any more as its so far off the flavour I'm now all too used to...

The ebike is fantastic. A half mile hill of a very steady 1 in 6 ish gradient was a doddle when you get into the right gear and keep up a steady unhurried cadence. I hopped on my old faithful manual Raleigh in the afternoon for a shopping trip in town and it was so uncomfortable compared to the new bike.

i was seriously tempted by an ebike until i seen the price and availability. if fuel keep going at the rate it is now i might just think again.

Availability and price are both crazy, but I want to cut back on shorter journeys using petrol as well as have a way to visit nice countryside pubs for lunch without worrying too much about a second pint and the return journey when we retire in a few years.

Lady Poppy works 8 miles away and has seriously thought about ebiking her commute a few times.

Isn't it illegal to be drunk in charge of a powered 2 wheeler ?

I think it can be an offence to be just drunk on a public highway ,and it could be an offence to be drunk in charge of any vehicle on a public road ,but I don't know how it would be punished in the case of an e bike when you don't need a licence to ride one, so presumably it couldn't be a ban from driving . I don't know but I wouldn't want to try it to find out ! No doubt we can all start Googling it.

yes you can be done for drunk in charge of a pushbike as my mate had it but nothing became of it due to being on crown property

you can also be done with drunk in charge of an animal e.g. horse on public highway, this includes leading them. if you stick to trails and fields your fine.
