[QUOTE="soberups, post: 642177, member: 14668"] As a practical matter there are some pretty severe limits on the amount of work that a helper on a bike is even capable of. Rural areas are out. Hilly areas are out. Snowy areas are out. The bikes may have some limited usefulness in retirement parks or apartment complexes in places like Florida, but for a pretty large area of the country they just dont work. I think that they are a temporary fad. Some genius from corporate... who probably never worked as a driver himself...had a bright idea and wrote a memo, and as a result of that memo the bikes are now being forced upon areas that dont really want or need them. I think that, in time, the limited or virtually nonexistent benefit that the bikes offer will become apparent enough that the bikes will fade into obscurity. Sort of like the "Remote Initiative" they tried to cram down our throats about 15 years ago. [/QUOTE]
