I won't make that argument when it's snowing, but on most days I'd rather pedal than drive.

I'm trying to stimulate discussion and get more folks to think about ebikes as a good option for getting commuters out of their cars. Please have a look at http://electriccyclist.com/greening-the-planet-why-the-plug-in-bicycle-beats-the-plug-in-prius-and-all-electric-cars. It's got some interesting stats on how many ebikes you could run with the lithium cells in a regular Prius, plug-in Prius, Nissan Leaf, Chevy Volt, etc.
