Hi all, well I have finally found my bicycle and not the one i went to see which wasn't quite right for me. After trying quite a few bicycles of different frame sizes, spending a night thinking about it And reading the bike catalogues I went back to to the lovely people in Cycle Heaven in York and tried out an electric assistance bike. I was amazed at how versatile they were with different levels of assistance depending on how much i pedalled or none at all if i wished. I realised that this would give me the chance to go out for longer rides with my husband with no fear of hills but at the same time give me plenty of exercise. Although the one i have ordered (a gazelle orange em) is a bit heavier at 23kg than I first planned it has walk assistance if i have to push and we can lift it up to get on the bike rack of the campervan. I dont get it until july as there will not be any production until then but I am really looking forward to using it. A big thanks to the staff at the bike shop who were very happy to get out any number of bikes for me to try so i got the right one for my circumstances.
