Hmmm never really thought that owning an e-bike is classed as cheating, despite some people telling me so. I too own an e-bike, and pretty much like you I think the e-bike has changed the way I ride - it certainly has encouraged me a to head out on it a lot more. And I, too, will be taking part in the challenge, riding on my e-bike... Good luck!

It's possible... it just takes longer, but you get the added benefit of a ride to take the edge off of having to drive there.

I was hit in October and have stopped commuting as a result. Inattentive driver. I was lucky as it was a sideswipe and I did not go under the vehicle. I've come to the conclusion, for me anyway, the risk is not worth the reward. I miss commuting, but I'll do my riding on bicycle trails and perhaps some group rides. I'm 58 and recovery has been slow.

Glad your ok. My neighbor spent 2 months in the hospital after being hit. I’m not brave enough to ride a 2 wheeler in the street. I pedal a big Orange dorky shelled trike like the white one in my picture and I don’t pedal between 2-5 on weekdays.. it’s too scary for me. Stay safe!

Also from Palmerston North. Like above I have seldom been caught out by bad weather while biking to / from work.
