What? I didn't see anything...

So I was out riding today and a guy riding a recumbent flew by me on a climb, then flew by the women in front of me, and smiled and nodded at each of us. He had a big electric motor, but was still pedaling. Kind of fun to watch. Anyway, when I passed the women, I said "That was cool, huh?"
What?
The guy on the electric bike!
What?
The guy on the electric recumbent that just zoomed by us?
Huh.

Holy crap, you didn't just notice a guy fly by you on a crazy looking contraption? (I didn't say that).

I met a guy on an electric assisted bike up in Oregon. He was recovering from a heart attack but wanted to continue riding. The electric motor was optional and it allowed him to set a reasonable page and climb hills.

Totally a fan of electric bikes. For those who can and those who can't.
