Until recently, I was one of those people who moaned a lot about the traffic chaos in Dublin. But then I switched to an E-Bike. I don't need a licence or insurance and no physical effort is required. Owning one means no-sweat cycling. There's no way I'll be going back to using my car if I can help it. I cycle 16 miles a day, and I enjoy every minute. Isn't it time everyone else did the same? After all, there are enough cycle lanes in and around the city to cater for everyone.
