loved this video Mike!!! you sure beat the lycra bike warrior on your e-bike…it´s incredible how fit you are looking since we last met. i think it definitely shows how using the bike on a regular basis to get around is the best way to keep healthy- and get up the steep hills.

Thanks, Violeta. Yes, I was feeling good. Am,azing how energizing a challenge is. I had no idea Scott and Steve were going to spring that on me.Scott sells the bikes i have and Steve does R and D. He’s working on a regenerating bike.

The whole thing was Scott Dickason’s idea.

To continue.

The experience, riding up that hill, jibed with reading a great article by a Harvard prof found people can live counter clockwise, take off years by imagining themselves younger and then doing things which are appropriate to their earlier age.

I realized later that this applied to me on the day of the shoot. With this bike, which does certainly help, it helped throw me back into a more youthful mode and i just acted accordingly.

it’s a great discovery. Mike

I used to be an avid cyclist and really put my Raleigh to good use around Houston, TX.

I must say, this ‘electric assist’ sounds like a wonderful idea and you can still get a nice ‘workout’.

The electric bike is great for someone that had an injured knee,back etc. They will get a fat boy in shape rather quickly you pedal till you need an assist then hit the button catch your breath pedal till you need the assist….
