The E-Bike Revolution
There seems to be a movement taking place on the roads and that is for electric powered bicycles, or 'E-bikes' for short. It makes climbing steep hills a breeze and opens up a whole new world to cyclists and non-cyclists alike. In short, the world of hilly or even mountainous terrain.
My first encounter with an E-bike was on a trip to Italy. It was a 3 week site-seeing holiday where I would spend the last week in the Dolomites to ride the 'Maratona' Granfondo. Keen not to gain weight on 'aperitivo' leading up to it, I was rising early and riding before the day's eating and drinking adventures.
