Feeling much, much fitter
In December '06 I suffered heart failure which caused me to to take 5 months off work and limit the amount of exercise I could do. The heart specialist advised that I should take light exercise and after consulting the specialist he agreed that an electrically assisted bike would enable me to exercise without the strain on my heart. With the Cycle to Work scheme I am now cycling to work and back home every day. Infact my average weekly mileage is about 40 miles or so and feeling much, much fitter and saving myself about 40% of the the cost as well!
