I am new to this forum. I have been cycling since the mid 70's. I also was a runner. I ran several marathons, half marathons, and lot's of 10k's. I am a retired police officer (CHP 27 years). Cycling/running provided me with an outlet for stress. I retired in late 1998 and I'm my 6th road bike since. Never thought I'd be one to buy an electric bike. Never say never. It will come back to bite you. Glad to be here.
