Interbike
Adventure Cycling has a blog on Interbike, the huge bike expo held each year in Las Vegas. One of the advancements mentioned is the new technology used in electric-assist bikes. I've never been fond of electric bikes, which seems to defeat the benefits of riding the most efficient machine on earth. However, for those who want an alternative to the automobile for those many short trips we all take, maybe these will be the wave of the future: Electric-assist bikes are now a product whose time has come, thanks to improved battery technology and high gas prices. One of the industry leaders, Currie Technologies, advertises 23 to 30 miles of range -- enough to make a pretty practical errand/commuter bike. Here's an article in the New York Times about electric bikes.
