I know, more than one reasons for most people. But what is the MAIN, most important reason?

That's a good "Other". Thanks for the input.amberwolf said:I guess "other" in the context of the title question "why do you ride an electric bicycle?" means, to me, "health reasons".
Wow! Is that the reason behind your screen name?biohazardman said:It's near the only exercise I gets and my main mode of transportation. People on the streets are safer when I am on a bike than in a car cuz some days I am not well/with it and could run them over. Hep-C and brain/inner ear damage makes me a dangerous dude although the driving thing is coming back two years after the assault so things are looking up. I can only choose one reason so things are not to accurate as there are several reasons I ride.
The top 300 members have made over 500 posts, the top 500 members have made 250 posts, and the top 900 have made more than 100 posts. That's like 6% of the membership does 90% of the posting. Not surprising at all cos most people are lurkers and noobs. Given that there are 7 billion people on the planet ... less than 0.0002% are ES Members. Talk about unexploited market potential :wink:SamTexas said:Even more surprising is the total number of votes after 22 hours: 25 votes out of 15+ thousand members. I am guessing that the number of active members is only between 50 and 100. But that explains why dogman owns more than 3% of all posts.
Why? Is there a contest going on? It does feel like that sometimes.Kingfish said:Adding another post to my total... KF
Yep. Despite the new 249 going north from HP, traffic is still a mess. But riding an ebike there is quite an act of bravery.snellemin said:I voted for Time. Cause afternoon commute is a PITA with a car.

Be safe.snellemin said:Is not bad really on the feeder. Cars give me the lane to myself once I'm in bumper to bumper traffic. I stay a few feet away from the curb and all the trucks take the other lane around me. The section I have to be most careful, is between Jones and Spring Cypress road. I peddle through the shopping center whenever I can.

There is an older person (in the 60s) who rides a regular mountain bike on Huffmith Kohrville between Spring Cypress and 2920 every weekday in traffic hours. That's a narrow two lane (one in each direction) road with no shoulder and a 45mph speed limit. I cringe every time I see him. He's very careful and constantly pulls himself to a stop almost into the ditch when he thinks it's too dangerous to ride. He's been doing this for at least 5 years. I wish him the best, but I fear for his safety.
