Hello from San Luis Obispo

[SLONomad]

I just bought my first PAS e-bike a few weeks ago. I own a Specialized Roubaix road bike and wanted to expand my route options. There are many trails and gravel roads around here that have been off-limits until now. Judging by the profile photos, I may be older than most of you. I celebrate my 70th this month. But I still get around, averaging 75 miles a week. The e-bike should help me me increase that number.

I am also a climate activist and see e-bikes as playing a major role in getting people out of their gas guzzlers and into transportation that is not only better for the environment but good for health and wellness.

My wife has a throttle drive e-bike that I assembled from a kit. We took a two-day trip last week up the coast and stayed overnight in a hotel in San Simeon. Nice to be able to do a trip like that by bike.

Welcome SLO Nomad, you’ll be surprised that the more you ride, the more you’re going to see more mature folk out there. In this game, at 70, you’re not old.

My youngest son went to Cal Poly - SLO. Always enjoyed visiting, beautiful country. My wife and would bring bikes and ride out to Avila Beach from downtown SLO. Fun!

Welcome to the site.
I'm age 70 and ride about 70 miles a week. I gave up driving in 2008, except for the occasional u-haul rental moving big stuff, or vacations in the wife's elanta. After covid19 vaccine, we might make it up your way before the car gets unreliable. I have a college buddy in Palo Alto, wants me to ride Pac coast with him. he's a road biker, does 80 miles a day. I won't bend over head first, I'm good for 30 miles in <4 hours unpowered. I am afraid I couldn't rent a small enough cruiser e-bike out there for me. So probably we'll meet in a restaurant and swap pictures.
