THE THING IS, FOR A LONG TIME, I’ve personally resisted e-bikes. No, I am not a snob and I do not look down on people who use them. In my riding group, I’ve seen a couple of people benefit from the use of the e-bike as a recovery machine or as a way to get active after a long period of exercise lull.
I simply didn’t ever picture myself spending multiple days riding one.
Don’t get me wrong. I’ve been put on plenty of e-bikes while travelling, because it seems to be such a trend in the cycling tourism industry these days. They do allow more people to access the joy of cycling and give them the freedom and energy to travel further. Yet, none of the bikes I have been given had really caught my attention.
Until the day I unboxed the Ribble Endurance SL e-road bike.
THE LOOKS
First up, it didn’t look
