Dunno. I’ve still got the one with the wavy thin lines on the bottom half. I did get in shape in the summer so I could wear it without embarrassing the colours but I’ve put half of the fat back on since Sept.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

I'm thinking that I may not suit stripey lycra in my present shape.


And when you fall back into the mud it hurts a lot.
No! None of it was true, none of those things we thought we could see existed at all.
All that was really there was still more misery

I can still keep up with younguns, even at my age

Nice. Folding? How heavy is it if you need to fold it up and carry it? Ideal for camping holidays especially in a motorhome or caravan, for jaunts around without having to get the car out I would have thought.

It's a Pro Rider E-Wayfarer, bought it new about 4 years ago for around £600, love it.

Heavy to carry but you can fold it up to get it into the back of a car.

Don't think you can buy this model new anymore but there are similar bikes available on the market.

15 mile an hour top speed (pedal assist) and a really good range on a fully charged battery.

My wife occasionally mentions she'd like an e-bike. Not a foldable one but she needs to be able to step through. Ribble do a nice one, just need a lottery win plus I'm not too sure I'd like the fact that she'd leave me well behind.

If your wife works, she could take a look at the cycle to work scheme, which makes bikes more affordable.

I have an ATB, which I'm looking to add a motor to, to make my own e-bike. In fact, this thread has given me a reminder, as I had forgotten all about it. Good time to do it with time on my hands.

I've thought about getting an e-scooter for the campervan. Not really enough room for bikes unless we hang them on the back doors, but that takes us into a dearer bracket for ferries, which soon adds up as we go Island hopping in Scotland.

Cycle to work scheme has increased its limits to cater for E bikes, still a lot of money I know but if it’s going to get used a great investment.

The wife is work free at the minute and I've just been made redundant so the cycle to work scheme, although very good, is out.

Have you looked at Swytch for an e-bike conversion

I’ve never really been a road cyclist but I have had some decent bikes over the years, I’m more into cycle touring bikes, I’m looking at one at the moment the “Tout terrain Silkroad” it’s a bit of a price but looks exactly what I’m after, I still have all my gear (regarding panniers etc) I’m going to go round the north cost of Scotland from John o’ Groats to Fort William over a 7-10 day period, I also like photography so it will give me plenty of time to take some great photos of the Sea/Mountains.


Grimsby and proud!
