Hello from Ottawa

[Bobbee53]

Greetings all. My name is Bob and I live in Ottawa. I'm 71 years old and just bought an Ecolo Cycle - Mistic e-bike which now allows me to stray farther from home without running out of gas.. I'm having a few issues with the bike, which I will post on the forum for help. Looking forward to browsing the site and staying abreast of the latest e-bike chatter!!!

Welcome aboard! Many 70-somethings and older doing the same thing, myself included, so you'll fit right in.

If you get a chance, post some photos of your bike and the places you ride. My 3 favorite forum threads are the ones for sharing ride photos.

So, the calendar rolls over yet again… what will it be this time? Will RabH decide to test the 7000 mile barrier? Will Stefan figure out a way to sneak into the Tour de France? Will Art outrun a bear? Will Dave Matthews get a Fender guitar? This place is very much about the people, though of...

What kind of rides are you hoping to do with your Mistic? Are you mostly using it for errands around Ottawa or planning some longer recreational trails like the Rideau Canal or Greenbelt paths?

Hi Thomas. I actually do both; errands and exploration. I live in an apartment near Lincoln Fields, right on the Ottawa river, so I have front-door access to the bike paths going East to downtown Ottawa and west to Bell's Corners. This Mistic e-bike is awesome. It has opened up a whole new way to get out of the house and get some exercise.

Do you cross the Ottawa river to the French side. It is so very close but a world away. Welcome.

Our school had class trips to Ottawa for senior students in the early 80's.

They would cross over to Quebec to buy booze because the drinking age is 18 in Quebec and 19 in Ontario, and some students were old enough.

The state store system is weird. I got carded today and told them my DOB was 9,9,99. They said I was lying. And I said, so, I am old enough, or not? Input what you will.
