AN e-bike, wtf. Sod this, I will jump this prick and call him out when he gets near me in Somerset. I will get a few photos first of him on that thing. Simply devious and out of order.
What does it matter? This guy has been out promoting his RUN from Lands End to John O'Groats - and it was going to be a record setting RUN. Then people started questioning him and now that he was under scrutiny he decided to back off on his ridiculous claims and was just going to RUN the whole way, but not set a record. Then he took an 11 mile ride in a van. Now he's riding a bike.
Never, not for a minute, was this event promoted as Dave simply travelling from Lands End to John O'Groats in any way he sees fit to raise money. That's all brand new. It was always very clear that he was going to RUN the whole way and set a record doing it. It turns out that was only going to happen if nobody was watching. So really, even if he's riding a pedal bike instead of the electrical bike, or sitting on the roof of the van on a mattress, who cares? This whole thing is a farce.
