I live 15 miles from work, and have always thought about bike commuting. I have a road bike, and am fairly fit through road & MTB riding. However, the reasons I drive in is that I would have to get up early & force down brekkie before I rode in (I am not a brekkie person & have no hunger first thing at all). Plus I would have to get here early for a shower etc as i work in an office. PITA basically.
I have seen a bike (the Giant Twist Express), which I coud get on C2W. Its looks OK & not rubbish like the usual electric affairs. I think with the elec assist I would not need to get up early for brekkie, or have a shower when I get to work. I could recharge it at work.
What are these bikes like, and has anybody done the same?
I used to laugh at these bikes, but with petrol at £1.40 a litre I would save hundreds per month, and it all seems to make sense!
hmmmm
