I bought an e-bike on clearance, and I am obsessed with it.
It’s only been one week, but my daily bike rides have been the highlight of each day. It feels wonderful to go exploring, and hills are now much easier. 🙂 I don’t turn the booster up high. It’s usually just the first setting, and there is still a full amount of peddling involved (which I enjoy). But that setting actually does make the big hills much less daunting.
I enjoy that very free feeling I get while zooming along. Alongside that, I’ve enjoyed seeing my town with a new perspective. As I mentioned in a recent post, I’ve lived in my town for a whole decade. I wouldn’t say I’m bored, but I have felt a need for novelty. My bike rides are giving me this. Even though I’m zipping through, I’m slower than driving, and I notice new things. I’m also learning in new ways which streets are connected to other streets, as well as best pathways to move well through them. This is fun.
So you’ll find me giggling through town on a bike. I am truly delighted with it.
