Default Re: Well, I must say that this looks...interesting.

Our "LAME" local news paper "The Akron Beacon Journal" wasted nearly a whole page in color yesterday on this piece of crap:

One man and his ELF: Cycling 1 200 miles in a three-wheel electric bike - MSN Autos

The article featured a 48 year old "Kent State University" employee who just loves driving hers 10 miles a day back and forth from work.
She said she use to drive a Harley Sporster, but now she's an "ELF" evangelist.
Wouldn't you just love being stuck behind her for a couple of miles every morning doing 10 to 15 mph on flat pavement on your daily commute?
She says she didn't think it would get as much attention as it does, and drivers give her thumbs up at traffic lights. (Personally I think she's misinterpreting the other motorist hand gestures).
According to the story it's average cost is $7000.00.
Where do I sign up?
