It's never too late to start.......

A neighbour of my mother's, who had been a friend and "good neighbour" over many years, had always had a bike but mostly for utility use and was now finding this harder work than she used to. She was left a small bequest in my mother's will and with little hesitation decided, at the age of 80, that she would buy an electric bike. So she's bought a Kalkhoff and is absolutely thrilled. She has now ridden 650 miles in the four months she's had it and her longer trips have included 25+  miles to Appleby and Mardale Head past Haweswater. Winter in Cumbria will slow her down a bit but she is really looking forward to exploring further next year.
