Well I might not quite fit in on this site even though I ride my bike everywhere but my bike is motorized.
I was stationed in Asia in the late 60's early 70's and with the price of gas going up so much my boyfriend and I where talking about what we could do we recalled those bikes with motors (he was in grm. for awhile and saw them there).
After a yr. of building prototypes we finally have the bikes we have now (my bike has over 1000 miles on it now 20 miles a day adds up fast). We get 150mpg and I have been clocked at 52 but the pucker factor kicked in and I have never gone that fast sence.
Most of the bikers here are interested in the bikes but there are those purest's that think you have to peddle a bike everywhere we just peddle to get the motor running.
