TAM,

Yikes, I'm not that kind of purist. I loath elitism.

You're interest and desire to get one of these bikes is great!

Once you get started and get stronger as you obviously know you will having been a mountain biker in the past, I see an E-Bike as a great idea.

Having various injuries myself, I have some idea of what you're going through. My need for exercise, but having to postpone and heal up is crazy making for me...

Having crashed/injured because of a distracted cell phoner caused me to cut back my mileage significantly.

Having experienced said injury due to a cell phone distracted idiot, (the worst of the lot being those who text and drive caused me recently to post some hyperbole in wanting them to go to prison, but if you ever been injured by one it's kinda like how a liberal becomes a Conservative after they've been mugged epiphany, but I digress...

For sure, I love cycling and an E-bike is just another form of it.

So, I say go for it!

I had no idea these critters existed.

Do you peddle to store up juice in the battery?

Or, is there no peddling involved?

Being a cycling purist, I look at them with a rather jaundiced eye, but simultaneously I'm intrigued.
