Cool, story. Cars are totally overrated, most people just don't realize it. We could get over 80% of our daily routine done by bike, scooter,... and public transportation. And for the other 20% we could use car share, rent a car or whatever. Well done.

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 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!

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
