Maybe there's a causative link. The really good thing about electric bikes is that you can decide, to a greater or lesser degree, how tired you will be at the end of the day.

Re: Biking Belgium!
On your Merckx, get set, go!! Try to get a copy of Flandrien by Stephan Vanfleteren before you go. For inspiration. https://www.stephanvanfleteren.com/flandrien I bought a copy when it first came out, at the exhibition in London. Rare as hen’s teeth now, but brilliant. > On 21 Aug 2024, at 19:55, Mark Roberts wrote: > > We're off on another bicycling trip next week.
