Pool Electric Bike series: Russell
Tell us about what got you into cycling.
I only recently started working at Leeds Beckett University
and as part of my role I need to travel often between campuses. I was
considering my options (e.g. Car/bus) when I spotted on the news section of the
intranet that an electric bike was available for use.
I liked the idea of travelling by bike but did not want the
issues that come generally with cycling (i.e. overheating from exertion
especially on warmer days) so decided to give the electric bike a shot. The
bike was easier to use than I thought and I have found this option really
useful, as long as the weather is suitable it is now my preferred option.
What is it you particularly like about the pool
electric bike and why would you recommend it to your colleagues?
It usually takes around 15 minutes to travel between campuses
which is quicker and more fun than the bus!
What are the things to be aware of when cycling
in the city in your opinion?
Traffic, to be fair I have not come across any major
problems. However, when not in a dedicated cycle lane you need to be a little
more aware of your surroundings.
How
would you describe your experiences with cycling in one word?
Convenient
