We spotted a deal on the METAKOO Cybertrack 100 E-bike for $739.99 shipped via the ECOOL SPORT STORE on Amazon. Simply clip the on-page coupon to redeem the discounted price.

Whether you’re wanting to ditch traffic and gas for your morning commute or just enjoy being outdoors, riding around on an e-bike is a great option. Since it’s battery-powered, it can be recharged with renewable energy like solar panels should your home have that. Plus, there’s no noise, gas, or oil to deal with here. In fact, maintenance is quite low overall, with the only thing that you have to keep tabs on is the gears and tire pressure. Not sure if this is the right e-bike deal for you? Micah went in-depth with it in our hands-on review, helping you to make an informed decision. It’s also rated 4.5/5 stars and is a #1 best-seller on Amazon.

Taking an e-bike to the store not only helps you, but also helps the environment

As mentioned above, riding an e-bike can cut down on fossil fuel usage, like gas and oil. It also lets you sidestep traffic and is a lot quieter than traditional transportation methods. But that’s not the only way that it saves. In all, being able to charge your e-bike from renewable energy sources helps to cut down on your carbon footprint. For shorter trips, it’s much more economical to take an e-bike instead of a car. You can travel paths that aren’t as crowded, which can help you arrive to your destination sooner. Plus, with today’s deal, the pedal assist feature will let you do some of the work while the bike itself does some of the heavy lifting, which means that you’re getting a workout without possibly burning out. If your commute is short enough to use an e-bike, it’s well worth it to pick one up and keep extra cash in your pocket, reduce emissions, and get some exercise in at the same time.

Bruce Willis sings and blows out candles as he celebrates 68th birthday following dementia diagnosis

Bruce Willis has celebrated his 68th birthday with a song and a cake, surrounded by his family, after it was announced he had been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) earlier this year.

A video shared by his ex-wife Demi Moore showed the Hollywood star singing happy birthday while surrounded by his daughters, Moore and his wife Emma Heming, before blowing out two candles on an apple pie.

Relatives of the Hollywood star said in March 2022 that he would be “stepping away” from his successful career after being diagnosed with aphasia, a condition affecting his cognitive abilities.

Moore, 60, wrote alongside the Instagram post: “Happy birthday, BW! So glad we could celebrate you today. Love you and love our family.

“Thank you to everyone for the love and warm wishes – we all feel them.”

Heming, 44, also shared an emotional post on Instagram, describing the feelings of “sadness” and “grief” she said she experienced as a caregiver to someone with dementia, adding: “I’m really feeling it today on his birthday.”

Becoming tearful as she ended the short video, she thanked fans for their support, saying: “As much as I do it for myself, I do it for you because I know how much you love my husband.”

Starring in more than 100 films over four decades, Willis has appeared in box office hits including Pulp Fiction, 12 Monkeys and The Sixth Sense, earning him fans worldwide.

“My birthday wish for Bruce is that you continue to keep him in your prayers and highest vibrations because his sensitive Pisces soul will feel it.

“Thank you so much for loving and caring for him too.”

Willis has five daughters, sharing his three eldest – Rumer, Scout and Tallulah – with Moore whom he married in 1987, and his younger daughters Mabel and Evelyn with Hemming, who he married in 2009.

Willis and Moore separated in 2000, but remain on good terms.

Rumer marked her father’s birthday by posting the same video of everyone singing happy birthday and wrote: “Happy Birthday Daddio I love you to the moon. You are so cool.”

Scout captioned the video in her post: “Also though, today has been PROFOUNDLY JOYFULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL !!!!!! HAPPY BW’S BIRTHDAY TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE !!!!”

Tallulah shared a selection of photos of her father from throughout the years on her Instagram, writing: “Happy birthday to my numero uno Bruno !!

“Feeling awash with all the good energies and love headed this Willis way! I love him and he loves me – what a delight!”

Andrew Lloyd Webber reveals son is 'critically ill' with gastric cancer - 'I am absolutely devastated'

Andrew Lloyd Webber has said he is “absolutely devastated” as he revealed his eldest son Nicholas is “critically ill” with gastric cancer.

The Oscar-winning composer will miss the opening of Bad Cinderella at New York’s Imperial Theatre due to his son – also a composer – being in hospital.

“I am absolutely devastated to say that my eldest son Nick is critically ill,” said Lord Lloyd-Webber in a statement.

“As my friends and family know, he has been fighting gastric cancer for the last 18 months and Nick is now hospitalised.

“I therefore have not been able to attend the recent previews of Bad Cinderella and as things stand, I will not be able to cheer on its wonderful cast, crew and orchestra on opening night this Thursday.

“We are all praying that Nick will turn the corner. He is bravely fighting with his indomitable humour, but at the moment my place is with him and the family.”

Nicholas Lloyd Webber, 43, is known for scoring the BBC One drama Love, Lies And Records and a theatrical and symphonic version of The Little Prince.

He also produced his father‘s Symphonic Suites at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane in London and was nominated for a Grammy alongside his father for a musical theatre album for Lord Lloyd-Webber’s Cinderella.

Lord Lloyd-Webber – who has three Grammys, four Tony Awards and an Academy Award – had been set to open Bad Cinderella on Thursday after it was announced last year, when he said he was “thrilled & delighted” for it.
