Sorry for the thread necromancy, but I figure this article deserves a bump given the weather we’ve been having recently. Tomorrow’s looking slightly terrifying…

I LOVE my electric bike – particularly for commuting. I was noticing yesterday in the wind that beacuse it is heavier, I am much more stable in a strong side wind than when on a normal bike – not to mention that I still go forwards at a reasonable pace when biking into the wind (or up a hill). I still like the “biofuels” bike for recreational rides, but it is nice to arrive on time and not too sweaty and disheveled to meetings and work and yet have all the advantages of a bike – cheap, fun, don’t get stuck in traffic and easy to park.

In reply to Criggie. I may have looked at the forecast... Been meaning to write this one for a while.

That was awfully good timing – you post this on a day where there’s a 35 km/h norwester in Christchurch!
