Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Btw there are conversion kits to make a normal road bike to an e-bike and are surprising affordable

24 miles (2 hrs for me - I'm not a fast cyclist!) or more cycle to work. As fozzy defended me (and others) not my choice. Wife needs fields. Not many of them in Central Edinburgh!

When I lived 7 or even 12 miles I cycled or ran. Now train or since pandemic elec car (hopefully solar powered soon!) :-) F

I still wonder about the output... My BIL, a capable cyclist, commutes to work on the flat going really quite fast...

I am now tempted to go try out mine on the flat but no time to get to a flat-ishbit of road..

HG - would you be able to take public transport part of the way and then cycle the rest of the way when going in? The cycle highways in Edinburgh are pretty.

Think once you've done it a couple of times, you will enjoy the exploration and the freedom

About This Thread

Maintained by HappyG(rrr)
Hi
I've seen environment (whether emissions, power, climate change, access to countryside, whatever you think of as "environment") discussed in various threads: Politics (obviously), the Electric Car thread fetcheveryone.com/forum/electric-car-anyone-61481/ , run free's excellent "Competitive Running and Keeping The Environment Clean" fetcheveryone.com/forum/running-competitively-keeping-our-environment-clean-60907/ my own Greta Thunberg thread fetcheveryone.com/forum/greta-thunberg---jfk-for-the-climate-generation-61044/ etc. but I haven't seen a general one.

So here it is. For those interested in the science, the politics, the action for (and I'll state that for me, this is mostly pro-environment, anti-emissions, anti-pollution etc.) and the hope for the future of our planet.
