Author Biography
Joe Goodwill (aka Average Joe Cyclist) wants cycling to be fun and accessible for all, from children to seniors, and everyone in between. Joe rediscovered the joy of cycling in middle age, and has since spent many happy hours on a bike - with the result that he has lost 60 pounds, lowered his blood pressure back to normal, and feels about 20 years younger. He has converted his wife Maggie (aka Mrs. Average Joe Cyclist), and now she also enjoys the exhilaration of commuting to work on a bike. This is Joe's second Cycling Guide. This one is all about electric bikes, a particular passion of his. Joe runs an electric bike group, and has been riding various electric bikes for years. Bikes with an electric assist open up the joy of cycling to almost everyone, and Joe thinks that's a wonderful thing. He believes that electric bikes will be one of the most significant trends of the 21st century, and has written this book to help people choose wisely when they invest in an electric bike. This practical guide contains everything you need to know when buying an electric bike. Joe and his wife Maggie (Mrs. Average Joe Cyclist) write a very popular cycling blog, www.AverageJoeCyclist.com. As the name implies, the blog is aimed at average people, rather than elite athletes. It offers a lot of cycling product reviews (because they both love to shop). It also covers the entire gamut of cycling issues, from bike commuting to how to transport your dog on your bike! Joe and Maggie enjoy interacting with the global cycling community, via this friendly, informative blog. They are always eager to learn more about cycling from other people, and encourage readers to share their knowledge and experiences, so that they can pass it on to others.
