When I moved to Port Townsend, it was to a location that sits on top of one of the biggest hills in town. Nice for some things … tough for when you are off on a bike ride and the last thing you have to get home is a steep hill climb. I ended up getting an electric assist bike and love it. (I’ve put over 1500 miles on it in the 8 months I’ve had it) This is from The Broken Spoke, the bike shop in PT where I bought my bike.
Smart!
