Old bikes made into e-bikes to get people cycling
A couple have been been converting old bikes into electric ones in order to get people out of their cars and into the saddle.
Beth Ward and Robin Hughes founded Drosi Bikes in Ruthin, Denbighshire, and said they hoped it would help people have access to cycling in hilly areas such as theirs for a fraction of the cost of a new e-bike.
Ms Ward said: "We want to encourage people to use their bikes over cars. That is one of our main ambitions."
"Like anything, the more people doing it, the more people will want to do it," added Mr Hughes. https://www.bbc.com/news/av/uk-wales-55548449

A hardtail is the can-do bike of mountain biking – and our new aluminium CMPT hardtails can do more than most. Crafted from aluminium and designed to offer the optimum balance of weight, strength and great handling. A lower top tube saves weight and improves handling, and features like an integrated brake and kickstand mount are all part of our legendary attention to detail. Trail riding was never more accessible. https://mtb.bcs-mx.com/post/658683667793805312/cmpt

Electric cargo bikes deliver about 60% faster than vans in city centers, according to a study. It found that bikes had a higher average speed and dropped off 10 parcels an hour, compared with six for vans.

The bikes also cut carbon emissions by 90% compared with diesel vans, and by a third compared with electric vans, the report said. Air pollution, which is still at illegal levels in many urban areas, was also significantly reduced. https://mastodon.online/@mtb/106704010618126136

The bike – completely reinvented: The Porsche eBike Sport conveys the unmistakable Porsche driving feeling on 2 wheels. The frame designed by Studio F. A. Porsche was perfectly balanced by the cooperation partner ROTWILD. This not only resulted in a high quality design object, but also an ideal companion for long and short everyday routes. The powerful SHIMANO EP8 motor with 85Nm and up to 15,5mph motor support allows for maximum acceleration with minimum pedalling resistance. Thanks to the brake and gear cable guiding integrated in the handlebars, the cockpit is reduced so that you always have the important stuff in view: The road. https://mtb.bcs-mx.com/post/658866154885070848/porsche

Mountain biking provides a freedom unlike any other experienced. Trail riding allows to feel weightless, like flying past trees, yet at the same time grounded. Focus on the dust and the turns ahead; Feel the presence of every rock and root to roll over. Mountain biking is the physical embodiment of the concept of mindfulness: it requires you to be in the moment, because if your attention wanders, the consequences can be severe. https://www.outsideonline.com/culture/essays-culture/mountain-biking-mental-health-essay/
