I've ridden to work a couple of times now and it is quite enjoyable. I look forward to days with a fine and clear forecast. Trust me to buy an electric bike in what is traditionally Sydneys wettest month though!
A couple of other stats - the 35km drive to work and back uses around $4 worth of fuel - the electric bike uses about 12 cents of electricity for the same trip. Top speed on the flat electric only is 27km/h as measured by my gps.
I was cycling behind two police officers on bicycles this morning. I slowed down, didn't want to go flying past them
I was also catching up to a lycra wearing cyclist on the bike path below the M4 motorway, and I wasn't even peddling
