Cycling. It's the kind of thing you do when you're young, before you learn to drive, when you can't afford a car (or the petrol to power it!)... to say nothing of the insurance, road tax, MoT etc. 

Isn't it? 

No!

For a start, even those of us (like me) who've been driving for years are finding filling up the car increasingly expensive, to say nothing of the other costs. But can you really, as an adult, swap your car for a bike? What about those hills? Or a head-wind? Imagine turning up to work with your shirt soaked in sweat!

Well, here's the perfect solution. An e-bike. And not any old e-bike, but the beautiful Eskute Polluno. As they say on their website: "With five pedal-assisted speed settings and the 250 Watt Bafang G010 rear electric hub motor, the electric bicycle Polluno can make light work of hills and make easy riding against strong winds. You'll never be out of breath when you arrive at your destination."

What you will be when you arrive, however, is fitter. Power assisted pedalling doesn't mean no pedalling at all. And you'll be doing your bit for the environment, too. The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step, after all. And everyone who cycles instead of driving is reducing air pollution. Little by little. Petit a petit l'oiseau fait son nid, as the French say. Or so a little bird told me!

Anyway, if none of that persuades you, perhaps the fact that they've got £50 at the moment will? Or even £150 if you want to buy 2! I know, expensive, but these bikes really do represent great value for money... as well as huge savings for the environment and your bank balance when compared to the spiralling costs of motoring. 

And you're cycling again! 

Back in the saddle!
