Sweet Electric Bikes and New Things From Trek/Fisher

Gary Fisher has been using his Twitter/Yfrog account to display some radical new bicycles. Most of the concepts center around urban riding with an emphasis on transportation.

Saw a cool electric bike on the KTLA news Friday, the Pedego Comfort Cruiser. What do you think?

The link, the news show call-letter drop, I think you're probably in the business of selling electric bikes. Which is cool, we're in the business of selling Jersey Bags and thong underwear with our logo on it.

I think electric bikes are the perfect gateway drug. I know several people who would like an electric bike because of the perceived ease of use, potential fitness aspects, the obvious environmental benefits and lower barrier to entry than a motor scooter.

If gas prices remain high, you may do well, and that won't be a bad thing.
