点评:I hadn't been on my bike for ages so my husband suggested I try an e-bike and hired one from Aberfoyle Bike Hire. We arrived to find a smart ladies e-bike waiting for me. The bike shop owner was really knowledgeable and took time to show me how everything worked, made useful route suggestions about suitable forest trails, cycle paths etc. We set off along undulating country roads towards Gartmore, my husband on his road bike and me on my new toy. It worked like a dream - whenever I was faced with a "mountain" to climb, the e-bike performed as if an invisible being was gently giving me a much-needed push. And Gartmore was a delight - a beautiful, unspoilt village amid scenery to die for, just sorry we were too early for the pub. But on top of hiring bikes, Aberfoyle Bike Hire also runs a cafe with outside seating, hot filled rolls, coffee and a fab selection of cakes. If I'd known that I wouldn't have made a last-minute dash to Greggs for a picnic lunch ahead of our trip to Aberfoyle.
翻译:我很久没骑过自行车了,所以我丈夫建议我试试电动自行车,于是我从 Aberfoyle Bike Hire 租了一辆。我们到了那里,发现一辆漂亮的女士电动自行车在等着我。自行车店老板非常博学,花时间向我展示了一切的工作原理,并提出了关于合适的森林小径、自行车道等实用的路线建议。我们沿着起伏的乡村道路出发前往 Gartmore,我丈夫骑着他的公路自行车,我骑着我的新玩具。一切都如梦如幻——每当我面临“山峰”时,电动自行车的表现就像一个隐形的存在在轻轻地给我一个急需的推动。Gartmore 是一个令人愉悦的地方——一个美丽、未受破坏的村庄,周围风景如画,只是很遗憾我们去酒吧的时间太早了。但除了租自行车外,Aberfoyle Bike Hire 还经营着一家咖啡馆,提供户外座位、热面包卷、咖啡和各种精美的蛋糕。如果我早知道这样,我就不会在去阿伯福伊尔之前最后一刻冲到 Greggs 去吃野餐了。
