the way then, john. so this is making me look and feel like a better cyclist than i am, really. am i being lazy? well, i don't think so. we're not racing anybody. we're just having a nice day out in the country. i and i think anything that gets more people more active and gets more. | people cycling can only be a goodj thing for them and for the planet. it certainly makes the hills feel easier. and they're on city streets as well, especially as more deliveries are being made on two wheels. so, we at cycling uk think that e—bikes are a real game changer in the cycling world. we think they can encourage people who wouldn't usually think of themselves as cyclists to get out on bikes and try that. they're particularly good for perhaps older people, people who are less fit. and people who live in really hilly areas of the uk, because it really flattens those hills. so what about the cost? dutch—style city bike, at around about £2000. the folding high—performance electric bike here at around £3000.
