Hard to say what the future will bring.

At the moment, I'm a pretty hardcore bike commuter (mainly utilities, errands, etc). But, my circle can easily be 20 to 50 miles RT in a day. And, sometimes longer... much longer.

This year, I'll probably work on an E-Trike for the heavy hauling. But, really, it is only < 1% of my current loads that fall into the category that I really NEED assist.

I also should think about distance.

In particular, those 100+ mile "commutes". It becomes a pretty Herculean ride to do a double century pulling a trailer.

An E-Bike could well work as a range extender (and time saver). While continuing to do local rides which should help with overall fitness.

But, I'm not ready to take a ride down EASY STREET just yet.
