I use a bike for basic transportation - commuting and shopping. I bought it new from a local, small scale bike repair\retail business. I try to avoid buying new, but sometimes it's more economical to do so: I've spent ridiculous amounts getting second hand bikes into shape. However, vferdman is right: marketeers and corporate producers are primarily interested in selling bikes as sports accessories or lifestyle statements.

I live in a small town in northern Alberta, Canada, i don't own a car, I ride my bike all the time, and this year I will be putting on studed tires for the winter, and riding when possable.This past week, i just installed a CRYSTALYTEEbike conversion kit (model 407, 36 volt systerm with a 35 amp controler). My bike is a mid 90's Giant chrome moly frame (everything else has been updated)."Ebikes are the way of the future"

testimonial: In season dictated by the sun and daylight savings time, need to drop&pick-up kids , etc I commute 20miles+ each way on a campy equipped racing bike as many times a week as I can fit, here in northern New Jersey, thanks to a work place shower & relaxed schedule.Just do it. No excuses.

Great presentation! Gas prices will help force this issue. Folks that have been thinking about commuting by bike get that little extra nudge..

@vferdmanThat may be true, but they are producing bike's; not cars. The people who use those bikes may be using as an alternative to a car or motorbike. No, the people purchasing bikes for transport are likely not purchasing new, top-end bikes, but those old bikes come from somewhere. The burden of proof is on you to show that there is absolutely no need for companies to produce new bicycles. Otherwise, what you're saying is nothing but hearsay.

there are 6 billion people on this planet and growing. there's no point in arguing this any longer.
