New secretary is <b>Nick Hider</b> who is keeping it all together on the social media. I use my eBike every day to <i>Cafe Italiano</i>, kept in top nick by <b>Darsh</b> from&nbsp;<a href="https://ebikerepairs.co.uk">eBike Repairs</a> of Bexhill. I recently had the battery souped up but have yet to test it for range. I'd hate to run out of juice far from home! At <b>National Clarion</b> level there has been a bit of Argy Bargy over changes to the constitution to eliminate the reference to Socialism! We weren't happy with that, although outgoing Secretary <b>Ian Bullock</b> added in a potted history. Another Section keeping the faith is <a href="https://www.londonclarion.org.uk">London Section</a> who we have ridden and drunk beer with in the past and hopefully will do more of in the future!&nbsp;</p>http://weirdcyclelanes.blogspot.com/2021/11/ebike.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (fredblog)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5033794.post-4391676527615782220Fri, 10 Jul 2020 10:10:00
