Could I ask if your wife chooses to wear head protection when she uses her electric bike? I don't see many riders on electric bikes around here and wonder whether riders would be more likely to wear helmets on electric bikes than they would on normal bikes. She doesn't. Okay, the more people that don't, the more confident I would feel about not doing so either. Why do you think the type of bike would make a difference? Just the potential speed that you could more consistently maintain on some electric bikes, I suppose - Bod has mentioned 30 mph. Although, of course, just because you can that doesn't mean you have to do so. If you're using your bike, even though power assisted, at speeds you are commonly quite used to without such assistance then I don't see that it would make a difference. And, now I come to think of it, that is the way I would approach things. I normally pootle along at a steady 15 -20mph, any speed above that just feels too fast down country lanes. We get deer running across the roads quite a lot so it would be insane to go any faster Okay, thanks for that. I think I'm getting this electric bicycle thing together now - there is, of course, far more to life than just increasing its speed. Indeed and in the summer I go even slower to take in the scenery and animals etc, especially at dawn when lots of deer and wabbits etc are frolicking about and very little traffic. Which is why I prefer walking if I'm enjoying the countryside.* Cycling is not fast enough for getting from A to B, but it's too fast to enjoy what you're passing. Bull****. |
