One Response to “NYT: An Electric Boost For Bicyclists”

   I just saw that myself and was about to post it, heh.

   I can see why lots of unplugged cyclists might be skeptical, but I like the idea. Getting a whole new group of people out of cars and on to bikes would be a huge boost for cycling advocacy.

   Limiting the wattage seems like a good idea to me, though, or else it’s more like a motorcycle than a bike.
