The best intentions to change fall short if we are not given the information needed to create that change.  Has this ever happened to you?  A big box department store has a sale on a cheap bicycle.  You see the price and decide that this is what is going to get you out of the house and back into shape.  A big grin on your face, you hand the credit card to the cashier.  As she swipes the card, you can’t believe how cheap this is and how all of your dreams to get back in shape are beginning.  You take it home, ride the bike once, and never think of it again.  It’s permanent new home is in the garage behind the water heater next to the treadmill.  A new bike becomes an old bike when we confuse “inexpensive” with “cheap”.

A bicycle that is going to be used for transportation does not have to be cheap, expensive, inexpensive, or even motorized.  It has to be right for you!

Electric bicycles aren’t perfect for every occasion, but they are just the right thing for many occasions; like a trip to the store for bananas and peanut butter, dropping the movie rentals off, or a fun way to step out of the box (the car) and get some fresh air.  Human powered bicycles are the single most efficient form of transportation…and really good for your health.  But arriving to work out of breath and drenched in sweat, is not appealing to many would be bicycle riders.  That's why there is the electric bicycle and gas powered motorized bicycle.

An electric bicycle can be the solution.  Plug in to an outlet and charge a 30 mile battery pack on a dime’s worth of electricity.  Plug in to a solar powered battery array and charge for free.  In 2001 a group of electric bicycle manufacturer’s successfully lobbied congress to change the definition of the bicycle to incorporate the electric bicycle.  Because of this change to the Consumer Product Safety Act, along with recent improvements in city planning for bicyclists, the future of renewable/alternative transportation has never been better for commuters.
