Lance, baby, are you considering another go around for this year's Tour de France? Move back up to number one? Got an idea for you. It's the latest in bike technology. The E-bike.

Actually, it's not so new technology.

Apparently the motorized bike has been around for one hundred years. Who knew? Seems that it had not caught the mind, imagination or wallet of the American population. Until now, that is. Or at least that's the hope of Sanyo and other entrants into this marketplace.

A greener environment? A slimmer you? Clearly, the marketers will figure it out.

But here's what I would do. 

Actually two things.

First,  I would put the advertising for these bikes on every "find your honey sweetie baby on line dating site". I, for one, see the various and assorted profiles stating, "I bike 200 miles before breakfast" and " will happily do another 100 later in the day." That, heretofore was an immediate delete-delete. But now, why it could be a level playing field. I can keep up. Just need to find the new technology for skiing, bungee jumping and paragliding…

And for every card carrying AARP member…the motorized bike is a much much sexier option, don't you think? Yup, it's the bike for me.
