Great Bike Information
The part I liked best was his defense of electric bikes. Some bicycle fans consider electronic parts cheating, and he replies to the haters "isn't a bike having wheels and speed gears the same level of so called cheating? Why not just run on naked feet if hardship is the point?" Electric bikes still use arms on handlebars, legs for balance, and take effort even if it is easier. So I do enjoy his biking defense arguments. Also he mentions the environmental benefits of bikes as arguments I agree with greatly. One problem I did have was he said "we baby boomers" many times, and I am not one as I am younger compared to the WWII birth surge era. Pretty much every book on e-bikes tends to be an advertisement brochure on one expensive brand of electric bikes the author likes by the third chapter, and this one does do a bit of that unfortunately. Yet this one is somewhat objective compared to most, and tells the user stories of people using many brands of bikes. I am shopping for a new e-bike so I found the information helpful on many levels. I will checkout more books by this author for certain in the future.

Highly informative
I'm 84 and have been riding bikes most of my life. However, I have developed both knee and stamina problems. I can still ride my stepthrough hybrid bike, but not very far. This book opens up a better future and has begun looking for my wife and my first ebikes.
Thank you very much,
