The wiggle illustrated by the other cyclist was so simple, we feel silly about it all!
2 years agoJacquie, that could be a super huge help! I will phone Fairfield Cycle tonight to discuss, but the parts live at Grin Technologies in Vancouver, if they have them!
2 years agoIf you need something shipped from Vancouver and that company can’t do it, let me know. I could collect the item and ship it off for you. Fingers crossed that it comes to life!
2 years agoUnfortunately our system is very unique and possibly available only from a Vancouver company. We may try getting them to send it to our friend in Paris but that would mean all the cycling in hilly England without assist. Hopefully the darn thing will decide to resurrect itself tomorrow.
2 years agoWe were told to lift our bikes up onto their back wheels to get through such barriers, ha ha ha! With a loaded bike?
But found if one of us walked backwards and lifted the handlbars over the top we could usually squeeze the back end through without having to unload.
Good upper arm exercise.
John - I’m looking forward to your next trip! I love your writing!
2 years agoHere's hoping that tomorrow your e-assist springs fully back to life and you find some better cycling!!!
2 years agoSad to hear about the e-assist issue! I hope you get it sorted, even if you need a part couriered to somewhere ahead on your route.
2 years agoWe often comment, more and more often as we get older, that without the blog we wouldn't know where we had been.
2 years agoHow funny. I was going to say how pleasant Whitstable looks and that we should go there someday, but I see that we did go there, at the end of Crab & Winkle Way. Three months ago is a long time!
2 years agoThese are awful. You’ll be glad to know that once we got north of Kent/Suffix we never saw another one.
2 years agoTaking the train was the right thing to do! Hope you have no more gear failures.
2 years agoAh, Avignon! As we approached Dover I was saying if only Shengen would let us in, we would be on that ferry in an instant. Then Calais to Avignon, with real roads and real food!
2 years agoI am with the conductor on this one. Perhaps a train to Avignon? That is our standard line.

Today we set the incredibly modest goal of Rochester. But as of 10 am we are still nowhere. Our own fault, because we went to work on trying to buy a stamp!
