I hate 'em. At a stop on the way home from a ride, a gas powered bike was there, and I'm positive it was leaking gas faster than the engine could ever burn it. Lovely. I'm not sure what the sales angle on 'em is, other than the bikes allow a person to avoid losing precious cellulite based insulation. They're certainly not environmentally sound as the engines are archaic two strokes which tend to burn crappily and through liquid oil out the exhaust. They're not exactly fuel misers.
I especially love them for the way their riders barrel down bike lanes. Nothing says fun like getting buzzed by one at night. It must be a condition of purchase that the owners not mount any lights on them. Straight lines are unfamiliar to their "pilots," too. I think they're exactly the sort of thing that Toe Cutter and his gang would have dug. I'm almost positive it was a gas powered bicycle that was used to kill Max Rockatansky's wife and kid. I'll bet the Sudanese army commits its slaughter and genocide on gas powered bikes. Every time I see one of the f**king things, I think of the Bruce Cockburn song and fantasize....."....if I had a rocket launcher...."
