Thangavel became a Freeride member when he came into our workshop looking for a bike to ride to work in Wellington from Taita. We were able to match him with a bike and the team got onto fixing it up. A couple of weeks later Thangavel was off on his new bike gearing up to ride to the city.
Skip forward a month or two and Thangavel was joining us on his first e-bike group ride with the knowledge that after two rides with us he would be eligible to join our E-bike Library meaning he could borrow an Ebike from us for two weeks, which is just what he did after his second ride.
As well as using the bike to commute both by road and train, Thangavel was able to explore the local area taking on a couple of rides including the Belmont trig. Thanks for sharing your story Thangavel. |
