Well, it's not for racing, it's for pacing. And I think an electric assist Keirin bike is still kind of neat. Counter-intuitive to the whole fixed simplicity thing, sure, but I'd still like to try it. I wouldn't mind going 60km/h with the energy it takes to go 20km/h.
Pre-flame: I know, I know. If I want to use less energy, I should get a motorcycle, or a car. I just think it's neat. I'm a geek. It's geeky. Leave me alone
