Electric Assist

I purchased my Trek Marlin +6 last Summer after breaking my leg and Ankle and 71 you do not heal fully. This bike has been a godsend for keeping my Cardiovascular fitness in check, and it s great for your mental health.

I have been doing a lot of the not so steep up and downhills on Cannock Chase, which is only one mile from my house, also local Canals and other soft trails. I usually do 26 miles each time I go out which is normally three days a week, plus I swim three day s a week.

I have been getting a little board with all the local rides, so this week I had a tow bar fitted and purchased a good quality carrier. So now I am ready for the good weather where I can get further afield, my thinking is Lake s Bala and Vyrnwy to start with

Happy Cycling everyone

How heavy is the bike and do you struggle to lift it or generally manoeuvre it around?

It’s 23 kilos so not too heavy. Using the Thule carrier is a dream so easy to use. For what trails etc that I use the bike for its very easy to manoeuvre, plus I am still quite active

Don't forget to take your mudguard off it will flap about and possibly break off.

Yes agreed. It’s only the press stud one. It was just a trial set up

And don’t forget to lose the dork disc too
