I'm already getting lardy, and believe it or not you still have to peddle an electric bike! BUT it makes going up hill a doddle so I seem more likely to use it. Also it only costs about 100th of the car to run. Does 25kph (I've had it doing 50.1kph!!!!) that was scary but the baby loved it on the back.

Where I am now is about 6km from everywhere I need to go and that takes about 10 minutes on the bike so hopefully I'll save a packet and lose a bit of weight too. Quite funny dressed in my bike leathers and steaming past an Australian bicycle athlete with his skin tight trousers on up hill, you should see the look of disgust you get, like your cheating or something.

I miss the alpacas but I don't miss the guinea fowl, noisy messy bird, spent half my life jet washing it's doodoo from around the house and the other half chasing it off when it wakes me up in the middle of the night with a sound that can best be described as a car alarm. Ahhh pleasant memories......

You're wearing bike leathers on an elec pushbike??
I have a very funny inmage of you tootling along clad in full leathers.
Must be very sweaty pedalling in leather...

Do you have to wear a proper m'bike helmet for it too.

Yep, it was early in the morning and freezing cold. Oh and no you don't need a motorbike helmet just one of those bicycle ones that make you look like a complete nerd. There's little effort in the peddling, you just need to make the peddles turn to keep the motor on, you supply maybe 20% of the energy and it does all the rest.

With the price of bread what it is a trip to the supermarket to get a loaf in the car doubled the price of the bread. Going on the bike it adds almost nothing. Well recomended...

Hi Tanya, don't know if you remember me, we moved back a year ago. Just saw your post about hayfever and thought I'd add that my other half has got really bad hayfever since we returned as well - he never had it before either. Perhaps there are some new sprays that the farmers are using here now?

Hi Mummy just being nosey what part of somerset are you in we are moving back there in about 4 weeks, to Bridgwater

We moved to Nailsea, small town on the other side of the M5. Loving it here!

Glad you are loving it, have never been to Nailsea but passed through on the way to Bristol lots of times.

Hi - Hope you've settled in nicely
I think its just being away and your resistance has gone a bit or something.


Arky - breads gone sky high here to, tis crazeeee, fuel to.

I've just got back from a week working my butt off in Tuscany in a heavenly exclusive villa of lushness.
