You're correct, Daryl. And it's not so much that I object to what you did
to lose your 20 lbs and stop being a couch potato..that's fantastic! I was
just saying that as a means to drop some weight, there are some better ways.
That's all. In the end, of course, whatever method one chooses and finds
works is THE best way, but I don't think I'd recommend buying an electric
bike as a first, second, or third method of weight loss. Not to say that
these bikes and their kin don't have a place, mind you. For those who
commute and have heaving hills, or those that tour and want that assist
sometimes, or those that just need the help. Of course, I'm mixing in
adding electric assist with electric bikes, which is blurring the lines
here.
