Why rightly so hate a mode of transportation that goes 50 mph when almost everyone here will jump in a car that goes 100mph for convenience whenever they want? That sort of thinking is weird to me. It's based on personal ideals and even those change depending on the persons momentary needs.
And, I'm pretty sure I'm just exploring the potential to go further while pedaling with the same effort I would use on a conventional bike. Certainly not moped territory. It would seem to be exactly the same sweat equity either way. The speed thing is an interesting issue though as, once you go fast enough you would be restricted from certain bicycle pathes (which I agree with).
It's just an idea. The interplay between travel goals and time available is probably, next to generally just being able to ride a bike, the biggest concern/challenge people have with bicycle tours. Every route I look at comes down to that simple equation.
