I never rode much when I was a kid, but since my husband &amp; I have had weight loss succes, we have found biking to be a wonderful activity. It can be as easy or difficult as we want for each ride. With my teens or without, hilly ride for a challenge or flatter on the trails, long ride or short cruise, commuting to work also. Love it!

Ah, I can highly recommend Co-Cars, which is the car club we use, they also hire out e-bikes as part of their fleet. We have cycled to my husbands parents on Dartmoor - it was definitely a challenge and combined train &amp; cycling to my parents. I think it&#39;s just the &#39;norm&#39; when it comes to owning a car for many - we had a lot of very surprised friends and family who I think thought they would never see us again!
