While there is probably debate amonst cycling "purists" about the positives and negatives of electric-assisted bicycles (or E-Bikes), I can't help but feel that the Ontario Government's recent "okay-dokey" of E-Bikes on Ontario roads (but not 400-series highways, just like real bikes) is a good thing.

While pricey, we could see a good number of these making the commute downtown from Richmond Hill and Ajax and Mississauga as gas prices rise.

It'll be good for our air, especially if people will be able to charge them by hooking them up to something like the portable solar panels that Canadian Tire sells, to avoid any emissions from electricity generation.
