Failed yourself, failed to ride what you actually did ride, failed the bicycling community, You are cheating, you are riding a motorized bike and not really putting in the effort you must, to be called a bicyclist... And yes, I do put in less effort, about 30% less than anyone else riding 100Km the same road the same distance at the same time, weighing the same, traveling the same speed. So what, I don't say I rode 100Km that day, I say I rode 100Km that day with some assistance, The assistance equal's out to about 30%, thus I actually only did 70Km under my own power. What is wrong with that? Riding 70Km is way better than riding nothing... JMO
