Interestingly, our final ride was yesterday,. We stopped off for a couple of nights in Amiens, and cycled from Amiens to Abbeville and back on the tandem. Well my stoker did us proud,as we managed a ride of 105 km!. But, same thing in this neck of the woods, 95 % e-bikes, one acoustic recumbent trike, and a few bikes. Another funny thing tho, you can spot an e-bike at 400 paces, HOW? by the clothing. E-bikers seem to wear much more substantial clothing, ie thick waterproof jackets, full gloves, and scarves, whilst I'm bashing away at the front, with a s/s YACF top,shorts and sandals and no socks. They look at me as if i'm mad. Because they put so little effort into what they are doing,they are obviously cold.
