It's A Bike, It's A Vehicle... It's An Electric Bike!
A Spokane man says he's beaten the problem of high gas prices. Mike Cameron has built himself an electric bike to ride to and from work, at the amazingly low price of 16 cents a day! (Did I sound like an infomercial announcer there?)
Here's his story and it even includes a mention of our good buddy Aurora Crooks from the County.
An electric bike was an option that never would have occured to me? Would you spend $2,000 to build one? Or do you have other ideas, besides walking, carpooling, vanpooling, and riding your bike, to commute on the cheap?
