Title: simon cowel high sides his electric bike
Post by: edboy on 02.02. 2022 20:31

having watched the news today and seeing respected celebrity "britains got talent" simon cowel in plaster casts and head bandage i am reconsidering buying an electric bike when affordable.
simons advice is to read the manual but who reads those ? especially when written in chinese.
all those injuries from a 20mph spill and i m also worried about climate change.

A crash at that speed put me in ICU for 10 days, some of those on a ventilator in an induced coma, I was wearing full protective gear, it all comes down to how your landing is, mine wasn't great

Did moto-cross for ten years, fell off every week, never went to hospital. Just shows how an extra three stone of lard is a life saver, contrary to NHS advice.

e-bike is my staple form of transport to the pubs in the surrounding villages for many years, I've never fallen off it despite being the worse for wear on potholed, pitch black, country lanes.

I think its the nut holding the handlebars in that case as the saying goes!
