Well, it finally happened! James, Jack and Brian all caved and got themselves ebikes.
They had always considered ebikes before, but couldn't really justify the cost. However, recently there have been some fantastic deals on bikes, and the boys couldn't ignore them anymore.
This is great for me, as I am lucky enough to have regular bikes and an e-bike. There's plenty of people out there with regular bikes to go ride with, but e-bikes not so much.
Truth be told, e-bikes are actually better for group rides as they can level any fitness differences and you can socialise easier on the climbs as you have more lung capacity left to talk.
