Since sitting around is a huge risk factor for adverse cardiovascular events and I do way too much of it, I have decided to buy an electric bike for commuting purposes (2 miles one way) and grocery shopping (1-4 miles depending on where I am going). I don't plan on riding busy streets like some because riding a motorcycle has shown me cars shouldn't be trusted. At a 20mph top speed (electric only) and acceleration that rivals most cars, I will stand a chance on suburban 25mph streets and probably seek out some of the local greenways. The combination of technology advancement lowering prices and desire to own one finally intersected this past Friday. I can't wait to get it in the mail this upcoming Friday and have the opportunity to spend even more time on 2 wheels! May the ghost of Nicky Hayden watch over me!

The inspiration was multifactorial, but all of the reasons came from my inner drive for cutting waste and improving efficiency. All of which are summarized by Mr. Money Mustache:
