Well this old man finally succumbed and bought an eBike - a"Pedal-assist Mountain bike" to be more specific.
Al Tinti recommended Mike over at CFM Cycles in Coventry and I got a good deal on a Pivot SL (WOO-EE!!) It required a hitch for the car and a decent bike rack (what I was using was a flimsy el cheapo trunk rack).
I am a happy man and will be hitting the trails--and the big hills--can't wait for it to warm up! Tyler Mill - I am ready now :-)
