Holiday On An eBike.


What better way to enjoy all the scenery on a holiday to Cornwall than on an eBike? A Cornish cycle company has introduced a brand new fleet of eBikes to their collection to enable tourists of all ages and abilities to tour the county and go sightseeing on two wheels. The first and only company in Cornwall to offer these electric bikes to tourists, Cornish Cycle Tours have said that they are perfect for people of mixed ages such as a family with one or two generations like grandparents and it is a way to keep fit too.

The company which was founded six years ago provides a service to tourists so that they can have a safe and enjoyable cycling holiday in Cornwall and visit all the splendid scenery. The holidays are set along certain routes that vary in length and distance and difficulty, to cater for all abilities. The owner of Cornish Cycle Tours said 'We want to make Cornwall by bike accessible for everyone no matter how fit or experienced a cyclist they are. These new electric bikes are perfect for those looking to set a more leisurely pace for their holiday, or for groups with varying fitness levels.'

The eBikes made hardly any noise at all and have three different levels of assistance which are eco, normal and sport. The level you choose depends on the amount of exertion you want to make. The power for the bikes can be topped up at power sources along different points of the route or can be charged up each evening.

Cornish Cycle Tours have thought of everything to make your holiday an enjoyable experience from luggage transfers and detailed maps and information about the particular tour you choose to take, with step by step instructions for each day of the touring holiday. Prices are reasonable and start at £275 per person for a three day tour of Cornwall on an ebike.

Of course there is lots to see and do in Cornwall, so if a cycling holiday isn’t your thing then don’t be put off! In fact, if you know you want to stay in the area but aren’t sure what to do then a quick search online can help. Lots of tourist places have websites now, which means that you should find it easy enough to find places to visit. This is great news because it means that whatever type of holiday you enjoy there will be something to suit you.

On the flip side of that if you enjoy cycling but don’t want to visit Cornwall,  you can see enjoy an eBike. Whether you buy your own, or hire one locally they can be enjoyed almost anywhere! Aren’t sure of a retailer that can help? A quick search online for eBikes should be able to help. In fact these are often so easy to get hold of that you can be on your local cycle paths much quicker than you imagine!

School Cycling Fundraiser.

Cycling the Tour de France requires years of dedication and hard work just to complete the three week race, and the 2,000 miles it requires each cyclist to pedal, just ask Bradley Wiggins who won the race last year to become the first British rider in the history of the event. So if someone said to you a group of cyclists were going to cycle a combined total of 1,337 miles in just 24 hours, and on just three bikes, you would laugh at them wouldn't you?

Well a team of dedicated people from the Lathallan School just north of Montrose in Scotland have done exactly that, despite taking an extra 45 minutes to complete the 1,337 miles, but considering the distance involved what's 45 minutes between friends!

Staff, pupils and parents came up with the novel idea of a cycle-a-thon to raise money for the schools forthcoming rugby and netball tours to Dubai. The schools Under 18 Rugby team are taking part in the prestigious two day Dubai College's Rugby 10s Tournament, while the schools senior Netball team are playing games against Repton College Dubai and Dubai College.

The team of intrepid cyclists set up three static bikes in the schools ballroom and as you would expect there was plenty of support on hand. All the pupils that are going on the tour took part in the cycle-a-thon, as well as numerous other pupils and teachers from the school. There were regular water breaks and plenty of sweets on hand to keep the cyclists going as they pedalled for glory. During lesson time the younger pupils added their support by working out how far the cyclists had travelled and how far they had left to go.

The school posted regular updates on their Facebook page so everyone could monitor their progress. If you wish to donate to the cause you can still do so by contacting the school direct and asking for Mrs Howie or Mr Horne, who will be only too glad to take your donations or sponsorship monies from you.

How many miles do you think you could cover in a 24 hour period? The great thing about this story was there were no climbing the Pyrenees or climbing the Alps like in the Tour de France, everything was done indoors, but none the less it was a truly remarkable effort by everyone that took part. 

The great news is that this shows you can do something if you put your mind to it. A indoor cycle shows that you can even do a massive fundraising event in a relatively small space. If you want to do some fundraising why not try and range something similar? Cycling not your thing – don’t worry! Simply get searching online for fundraising inspiration and find something that tickles your fancy – you are bound to find something that suits you perfectly!
