Travis,

Thanks for the feedback. Electric bikes very efficient commuter vehicles. I promote electric bikes because they allow riders to get to the office without working up a sweat, and they also allow riders to go further, and thus better replace a car, especially if you are towing groceries or children.

They are also useful for elderly riders, and those who might not be in physical condition to pedal 40 miles a day.

So basically, electric bikes are a highly efficient option for long commutes or to replace your car in urban areas.

I enjoy most of your bicycle related posts, but am unenthusiastic about the amount of electric bike posts. It seems to me that the drawback of _standard_ bicycles is that they cannot comfortably carry as much, travel as fast, or protect from the elements as well as something like a car (I loved the Bilenky post, especially being from Philly). The limitation does not seem to be that they require human energy to propel them. We can’t keep depending on energy slaves, especially for something that just requires a little effort. Unless it’s just about fun or if the user is physically impared, electric bikes seem like just another “green gadget.” They’re certainly not more efficient; we have plenty of spare human physical energy to go around. Is there something that I am missing?
