Afternoon peeps,

After selling our house a couple of years ago we sold off / gave away a lot of our garage stuff including a selection of bikes (my 'decent' Ridgeback included).
Last summer K announced that she wanted a bike to keep fit ......... OK says me, where we gonna keep it?
Our second bedroom became the bikes (ORBEA MX50, nearly new, bought from a work colleague) home & the bike was used ....... a little!!
Move on a few months & the R50 was badly needing a new home. My folks garage, where it had been residing was unbeknown to me, leaking like a sieve. A new home (new build, water tight lock up) was secured in the local village and the R50 started to share odds & ends from the flat, including the bike that K had bought.
K has now announced that she fancies an electric bike!!! ...... (looks like I've acquired the ORBEA .... fine by me) too much peddling in a 'manual' says she & as the work has a cycle to work scheme she will get a 'great discount. OK says me so an 'assist' bike is being sought.

Therefore has anyone got any recommendations re

A) electric bike purchase (Carrerra @ Halfords says K!!!)

B) what cycle roof rack is recommended/best for an F55 :thumbs up:

Can’t help with either Crombers sorry. There’s a girl at work with an electric bike and she loves it. I’ll see if I can find out what kind it is.
