the shop i work at demo'd the stromer e-bike from the rep.
wicked fast, could easily pace a field.
there are a couple dealers in town, could be a cool way to get the word out on their product.

Don't get me wrong, I think it's a
great use of the technology.
Just don't be surprised if at some point someone says, "hey, wait
a minute..."

Bend, OregonEvery revolutionary idea seems to evoke three stages of reaction...
One, it's completely impossible.
Two, it's possible, but it's not worth doing.
Three, I said it was a good idea all along.Arthur C. Clarke

I've never ridden one. Heck I've barely even seen
one. Would that work? Fast enough on the uphill?
Enough juice to last the whole race?
The parks dept. said it'd be fine, and there would
be no -- as-in ZERO -- special requirements to do
this since it's technically not a motor vehicle.
Anyone own one that they'd be willing to try next
Wednesday?
