taking the exercise out of exercise?

So humans are generally lazy, this is true but laziness is just getting worse and worse and more expensive.
How about an electric bike "full power gets you there at 28km/h, without the workout." What makes this worse is these bikes cost about 500 bucks, yikes! Now I do aspire to drive a motorcycle and I drive a car but to me a bike ride should still be good old fashioned cardio pumping fun.
That's right folks, making Canada fatter one bike at a time.
