Frankly, even if the motor is on there because of "laziness", so what? I don't get the apoplexy about it just because the motor is on a bicycle rather than a car or a motorcycle. Selfishly, I want there to be more bicycle traffic because it creates political pressure to serve and protect that population so if it's getting people who otherwise wouldn't ride to ride, it's all good.

And yeah, stories like the OP are really important reminders for a lot of reasons, it's being a happy thing just one of them.
