Your #ebike use-case of the day:
My wife’s stepdad, 88 y/o, is a lifelong cyclist. Racing, touring, etc. Last year, he was riding along, and his heart just stopped. 10 minutes of roadside CPR kept him alive til a cop with an AED arrived.
As part of rehab, he’s ridden on a trainer, but that sucks. With my e-brompton, enabled by the motor which ensures his heart rate doesn’t go above his prescribed max, plus the low stepover, he’s back on the streets.
“Life-changing,” reports my mother-in-law.
@bikepedantic Jesus Christ, 10 minutes?! That’s an incredible CPR success story
@Kevin The doctors said the same, 10 minutes might be more perception of my mother in law, who was doing compressions for what must have seemed like an eternity
