Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

New LBS has got going on east side of Melb at Ferntree Gully. The guys
there are quite friendly and have just given me a motorized bike to play
with. Longer and more detailed assessment may follow if enough people
are interested, and when I have time to write one.
First impressions, though, have been fun. Very laid back to ride, though
you're aware of the large weight of battery on the back when hitting a
bump.
Handling similar though not identical to heavy-load bikes of other
types, ie, full touring load or tandem. 200W motor has enough grunt for
1 in 20 incline, but a bit more laboured on 1 in 10. Will take it for a
few more runs during the week and see what comes up.
Cheers,
Ray

was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea:

Apropos of nothing but your name and subject line, I just finished
watching last nights' Dr Who, when the last remaining Dalek made an
appearance. And now I see a post titled "ray zap now".
