Saving the planet...and my money

An easy way to save money, feel energised and feel good about the world

I was using the works van far too much for travel to the store, home callouts for bike repairs and for collections of parts for the shop, such as bolts and fittings from Delaneys hardware shop (old skool service, excellent) and for random bearings.

Tenways electric bike outside bakery

A quick stop at my favourite coffee shop, just so much better than the big ticket coffee chains. And Flour Water Salt's pastries and bread are amazing. A quick in and out .. no pesky parking issues to have to deal with

Tenways electric bike on street
