Man Vs Machine: Battle Of The Electric Bicycle

I have seen a couple of these floating around town. Seems that they are becoming ever more popular as people realize they don’t want to pay for gas, but also don’t want to get in shape.

The battle of “heartbreak hill”… Well really it’s two guys on bikes, one on an electric one on a fancy carbon bike, who do you think will win? Watch the Wall Street Journal video below to find out.

Frankly I think electric assist bikes are not a very good fit for many, the man in the video who has one is motivated more by laziness than anything else, but for a select group of people I am sure they will expand the joy of cycling.
