In fact, I just don’t seem to go, if I know there is a hill involved. The electric bike will solve that problem, but I do need exercise so I don’t want to get so excited about zooming around on my new bike that I forget the main reason I bought my other bike in the first place.

It was to get more exercise.

Well, it may take a while before I remember to pedal enough on the new electric bike to get my daily quota of exercise, but I plan to remind myself. Maybe, I can set up certain distances on the route (we tend to ride the same streets each time we go to the store or downtown) that are fairly flat and pedal only in that area. That way, I can have the best of two worlds–saving gasoline by going electric, and getting my exercise by pedaling.
