The right bike for your cycling commute
With so many options how do you know which bike is the right bike for your cycling commute?
Well the answer is it depends! For example if your cycling commute is only a few miles then you may find that a regular bike is just fine.
But what if your journey is longer or has several hills along the way?
If you want to arrive at your workplace fresh but invigorated then an E-Bike is likely to be the way to go. It will make light work of hills, and stiff headwinds, because you will have extra power to use when the conditions are not in your favour.

Consider fitting Pannier racks and pannier bags. A pannier rack means that you can pack your bike to carry things like workwear, essentials, and everything you need for the day ahead. They are particularly useful if when combined with a pannier bag. The reason being that you can carry everything in the bag, instead of wearing a backpack. They come in a range of sizes, and cost options. Most have features like reflective detailing, are waterproof, easy to install and remove and easy to carry of the bike.
