Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Who needs to train?

I could see this getting out of hand (depending on how quiet it is)...

For having 200 watts of assistance those people sure were moving slowly.

Based on very limited observation, it seems to me that the people to whom electric bicycles are attractive are the very ones who in fact need to be pedaling more rather than less. I don't think you need to worry about these overrunning the bicycle racing scene. It's more like the electric carts at Walmart.

Also, don't assume that 200 watts gets 300 lbs moving as fast as it does 140 lbs. Big difference there. I have no clue what my power output is, but toting an extra 80 lbs of lard around, it really doesn't matter.
