Riding The Riese & Muller New Charger Around the South Pennines

For the past few weeks I have been riding a Riese & Muller New Charger GH Nuvinci around the sometimes extraordinarily steep and often fascinating hills of the South Pennines.

This particular e-bike and the terrain seemed like a great fit on paper; some ancient packhorse tracks (sometimes with the original 18th century cobbles or flags), lovely old mill villages and some of the steepest hills in the UK could be explored on a bike seemingly made for such rugged terrain in biking comfort.

I had lived near the area for much of my life and every time I’d visited had discovered some interesting new village or track that was not on the tourist map.

So, having moved much nearer the area 12 months ago, I was keen to explore this area of rugged moors and hills lying in a triangle between Hebden Bridge, Penistone and Tintwistle in more depth and to get off the beaten track in the best way possible – by e-bike.

Electric Bike Touring Tips From a 70 Year Old Bicycle Tourist

By Richard Shrubb

Seventy year old retired manager in the electricity industry, Alan and his friends have been cycle touring for the last 12 or so years.

Here he passes on some tips based on his own experience in riding long distances around the UK. 

He returned to cycling aged 50 on a hybrid bike and one year cycled the 100 or so miles to a friend’s house in Devon from his home in Dorset.

This triggered the idea of touring, and realising that they were getting no younger they firstly transitioned from carrying tents and camping to cycling between hotels, and then, in November 2014 to e-bikes. [Read more…] about Electric Bike Touring Tips From a 70 Year Old Bicycle Tourist
