I won an electric bike!!!

I started comping in August. I did for about a month and then got tired.

To my surprise I received a letter from The Telegraph saying my electric bike worth £900 pounds would arrive in the following days. This was posted in the forums here, so thanks very much for the people here who posted it.

My only problem is now what to do with it as I have no space!! So it's gone straight to eBay

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!! AND YES, COMPING WORKS!!!!!

    Well done !

    That's a prize that would have suited me :)
    I had nail surgery today and I'm not allowed to cycle for 6 weeks as pedalling put too much strain on the nails/toes
    Oh well, I'll carry on comping !!
    Best win ever: Trip to the Galapagos Islands in 2010

    Really? Even with the top of the range ones which have a throttle ?!
    What a con ! ;-)

    BTW - I'm joking ......

    I'm afraid so Liz,
    here's a review of this bike..
    But the biggest gripe we had with the Glide is the delay in pedal assistance. This means that despite the provision of a motorbike-style twist grip accelerator, you don’t get any help getting away from the lights. Once you’re moving, the bike quickly joins in and surges up to 15.5mph but you have to give it a twist every five seconds or so to wring out every last drop of assistance. It’s almost as if it stops trying unless you keep twisting it
