You could get studded tires and do battle on icey streets or you could do this:

But if you tell your boss that you rode to work virtual space he might offer to pay you with virtual money :wink:

I bet some of the controller guru's here could modify a controller to use a hub motor as a generator to simulate pedaling load! I know, I know, we build electric bikes so we don't have to pedal in real life so why pedal in virtual space.
