I've just entered a sponsored bike ride and, while idly skimming the entry details, was staggered to find they have a policy on electric bikes - in short, anyone using one must comply with the law.
Surely, if you're doing a sponsored event, the idea is that it's a challenge that you have to work for and not just rock up to the start on an e-bike?
Ok, I can understand that might be the only bike that some people own and I'm all for inclusivity for people wanting to get involved, but it just surprised me, considering the charity in question - the British Heart Foundation. I would have expected them to have been at the top of the list of organisers discouraging them.
In this case, it's only a 40 mile ride, although there are a couple of sharp climbs.
