Reporting on a small-scale health study in Boulder of electric-assist bicycles, part of an initiative to formulate policy on whether to allow them on bike paths. They conclude that these bikes are a good way to get sedentary folks into better shape. The article comments are (mostly) also worth a read.
(For my part, I hate on the fucking things, particularly whenever somebody passes me a little too close on one. But that's my problem, and not really relevant to policy.) http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2016/07/06/the-surprising-health-benefits-of-an-electric-bike-2/ -- S. Rose I am the one who noshes!
