点评:It had been around 20 years since I last rode a bike and since then been diagnosed with MS. I wanted to try cycling again but nervous as cognition & balance has been a bit of a challenge.
I contacted Plymouth Bike Hire to enquire what e-bike would be best for me. Nic suggested going to an all ability session beforehand to see if a bike, trike or recumbent would suit me. This was great advice and I went along and felt pretty confident on the bike.
When I went along to Coypool to hire a bike the next day Nic was there and showed me the range of e-bikes and gave me an overview of the pros & cons of each bike. I made my choice and Nic gave me a quick overview of the settings and gears, he adjusted the saddle for me. I then made my way up the Plymbridge trail up to the Skylark and back. I had a great time but explained to Nic when I got back the niggles I had….. & he showed me even more options for next time. I think I’m going to keep going back to try them all & go further along the route. Thanks Nic for getting back to cycling and to the guys at The Hub too.
翻译:距离我上次骑自行车已经过去大约20年了,之后我被诊断出患有多发性硬化症。我想再次尝试骑车,但由于认知能力和平衡能力都有些下降,我感到有些紧张。
我联系了普利茅斯自行车租赁公司,询问哪种电动自行车最适合我。尼克建议我先参加一次适合各种水平骑行者的体验课,看看自行车、三轮车或躺式自行车哪种更适合我。这个建议非常棒,我去了,骑车时感觉相当自信。
第二天,我去科伊普尔租车时,尼克也在那里,他向我展示了各种电动自行车,并概述了每款车的优缺点。我选好了车,尼克快速地给我讲解了设置和变速功能,还帮我调整了车座。之后,我沿着普利姆布里奇小径骑行到云雀酒吧,然后返回。我玩得很开心,但回来后还是跟尼克说了我遇到的一些小问题……他给我推荐了更多下次可以尝试的路线。我想我会继续去,把所有路线都试一遍,再走更远的路。感谢尼克让我重新开始骑行,也感谢The Hub的各位。
