I just bought a Stromer - I am a serious bike guy and I wondered if I am
breaking some sort of unspoken code about earning my ride. But!! This thing is
a beast on the commute, and I have been on it non stop for a week. It is sheer
joy to get it up to 45km without killing myself, and it has made me take the
insurance off my car, at least until this thing is paid for by gas and
insurance money. When the traffic is stop and go, I am smiling ear to ear
leaving all those cages waiting at red lights. It is clean, effective and
highly functional, and I really believe as commuters, they are the future.
Having said all that, I do not want powered mtb's on the trails. There is a
limited amount of room on single track trails, regardless of where you live,
and if you want to ride there, get in shape or go somewhere else. I am all for
it as commuters and getting more cars off the road.
