On the rare occasions I find time to go out on a pushbike around the local lanes, I'm amazed by how much I SEE. More than I do on foot or from a motorised vehicle.

I had the exact same thoughts today while out on the eMTB. The e bit also lets you go that bit further too without too much pain etc

My cycling is less constrained by my (lack of fitness) than it is by all the blackthorn hedge clippings that were left on the road. Hopefully they will all be ground to a pulp in another month

That’s one of the reasons I enjoy using my bike in the winter. I get to see things that are usually hidden behind the leaves.
