Good for you, bad for the environment. And by the way, when I had battery-powered lights they tended to die on me when I needed them most. With modern generators in the wheel hub there is always light and it's not the least bit complicated, you don't even have to switch them off or on, just let them shine whenever you ride. It doesn't get any easier and cleaner. Nothing to bin, no chemical battery waste, nothing to remember to switch off when ariving, etc....

I have been riding a bicycle off and on for over 60 years. I didn't really get serious about it until I had several heart attacks and heart surgery. I realized then I had to make some changes. W... read more

I was so nervous going down hills when I first got my e-bike! I'd sing in my head Fleetwood Mac 'You can go your own pace!' and just go as slow as I felt comfortable with. Apply the breaks gently and always look where you want to go when going around a corner. Good luck!

Try maintaining your balance by using the attack position (Google it) which spreads your weight evenly between the front and back wheels and use both front and back brakes at the same time. If you are still skidding it may be time to change to some grippier tyres

I have a fairly heavy cargo bike and when I first bought it I had a scare like this, I now go a lot slower on hills, brake gently but often to control my speed. I used to be worried about annoying people in cars cause I was going slowly but honestly, 30 seconds longer to ensure your safety is nothing. Also when you break try to shift your weight back and not forwards, it will help the back wheels stay in contact with the road

Hannah Olley Thanks for all the tips guys I appreciate it :)
