• HAVING cycled in London for more than 40 years, I have just bought an electric-powered bike, which makes it possible to keep going up steep slopes which would otherwise make me get off and push.

It’s very good that the Swains Lane Urban Climb on September 30 is allowing e-bikes to enter. This means many of us who are not on racing bikes and wearing Lycra can join in!
