My Cancer, My Breath, My Electric Bike Journey

By Stephen D. Rappaport.

I lost my cycling fitness overnight. Having ridden 100+ miles a week for years, I struggled after two, breathing hard, short of breath.

I couldn’t go on. I returned home, taking the flattest way, even cutting through a neighbor’s yard to avoid the 10-degree grade to my hilltop home.

The fatigue, I thought, might be related to a recent medication change. My doctor stopped that, but my energy and ability never returned. He ordered a blood test. He called the next day.

“You’re not going on vacation tomorrow. You’re seeing the head of blood cancers on Monday.” “Can’t it wait a week?” “No!”

Monday came. The doctor seemed nervous. He didn’t know me but had news to break. He told me plainly: “You have leukemia. Where do you want to be admitted?” [Read more…] about My Cancer, My Breath, My Electric Bike Journey

How to Get More People on Electric Bikes and Out of Motor Vehicles [VIDEOS]

E-bikes are bounding ahead in many parts of the world.

In the Netherlands 2018 saw a truly significant benchmark when more new e-bikes were bought than regular non-assisted bikes.

E-bikes are also a large part of German bike sales with many other European countries increasing e-bike sales rapidly.

In the leading European countries we are beginning to see industry bodies and the public regard e-bikes as ‘the new normal’ when talking about bikes in general.

China has taken a different route to popularising e-bikes but they are still massively popular.

Trip Report: eBiking Scenic Schweitzer Mountain

-By Paul Tolme

We were midway into an electric bike tour at Idaho’s Schweitzer Mountain, which is among a growing number of ski resorts nationwide that are offering electric bike rides and rentals to boost their summertime offerings, when our guide stops to show us a tree with long claw marks and pealing bark.

It’s a bear scratching tree, a spot where local black bears mark their territory and rub their backs and claws. 

The bear tree was one of the fun glimpses of nature, along with abundant wildflowers and scenic views, that we experienced while participating in the resort’s eBike experience, which is being offered for the second straight summer.  [Read more…] about Trip Report: eBiking Scenic Schweitzer Mountain
