I see where some of you Ebike supporters are coming from but I'm still not convinced this is 'progress'. Part of my shock/disapproval was that this is a 'pilgrim' journey and minimising pain is also minimising gain, whether it's spiritual in the broad sense or psychological.


BTW I didn't finish the Camino myself (C de Levante from Valencia) as I had an accident in the later stage and finished by bus. I did however cycle (unaided) 1040km in 13 days and intend returning to finish it sometime in the future. If a far from fit 67 yo can do it then someone a lot leaner and in their twenties can too.
