There are a number of electric bikes in use out in this area - some people are just lazy. An able bodied friend of mine bought one to commute to and from work, her house is a only a thirty to fourty minute bike ride away. What a joke, in my opinion. However, If they enable people to bike who otherwise can't, great. If they get one more car off the road, great. If you ride one because you're too lazy to pedal, expect scoffs from this cyclist.
