Do I know any #ebike #ebikes people?

After more than a year of debating it, I'll be joining the cult this weekend, getting a Portola for local appointments, errands, etc, instead of a second car we can't afford and wouldn't use often enough to justify the expense.

It's certainly not the ideal weather for it, but it'll only get better in the Spring and beyond.

@glecharles keep posting with hashtag ebike and you will :)

I'm almost 50, haven't seriously used a bike for 16y or more. Now I take my kids to school in close to 0C and high wind weather. I'm even doing the house shopping in it.

But then all those are sub 10km trips. Depends where you live. Good luck.

@mdione I'm in northern NJ so it gets cold but not unbearably so. It'll mainly be for avoiding Lyfts for short trips while my wife has our car at work, and replacing my regular bike for fun rides so hills aren't a factor anymore.
