Hi EBR, a new joiner here from beautiful Jervis Bay on the New South Wales south coast, Australia. I’m a fairly recent retiree, determined to stay active as I relax into the post-working lifestyle. As well as daily ocean swimming (working towards welcoming my sixth decade with an Alcatraz swim in a few years), and weekly golf, I’m making a conscious effort to cycle whenever practical, and not drive the car any more than necessary - and, to my own surprise, succeeding!
My wife and I relocated to here at the end of December last year, and immediately had a few scary weeks avoiding bushfires in the area. With that move came the realisation that, in our previous home in the national capital, Canberra, we were very lucky to be surrounded by lots of well-maintained bike paths. Here - not so much! In Canberra our commuter-style ebikes had worked well for us for the year or so that we’d owned them.

Now that we’re here at the coast, I’m thinking that a transition to something a little more rugged and versatile (eMTB!!) might be in my future...
