I’m always surprised when I see someone actually pedaling an e-bike.
Those are folks putting along highway 20 on my way to work in the morning. Suspended license sounds right…I thought they just had a death wish.
If they are out on their bike that means they are getting fresh air and not eating. I'd think you'd be good with that?
Fair enough.
Probably. And they may be doing some pedaling. Maybe they are working up on the amount of pedaling they are doing. Since we moved to our new place I have been working on increasing my outside activity. When I started I would be able to walk up our hill once per day. I'm up to 3-4 times per day now. With the elevation I feel pretty good about that.
This is how I choose to look at it. These people could be on the couch, stuffing their face with Twinkies. At least they're getting some fresh air, even if they aren't getting much exercise.
Good for you and keep after it.
I think it’s a valid question, and it’s probably four answers:
You are correct. I live in Cape Coral, where it apparently is the law that you have a bike, and ride it. Which is OK with me, and join in. I only use the electric part to cross intersections and traffic lights. Otherwise, I'm pedaling, and as much as these bikes weigh, I'm not surprised that people use the throttle as much as they do. But they're all getting fresh air, a little exercise, and they aren't polluting anything.
