First E-Bike cycle of 2026

That’s me just done my first cycle of 2026! Yes, I was using an E-Bike. But it still counts has cycling! Like a normal bike, if you stop peddling the bike, will stop! Just gives you extra help going up hills and getting your average speed up!

Oh and also filmed a vlog during the cycle! Check it out at www.youtube.com/gsvalentine
