Slow news day, so go biking

It looks like a slow news day so far today, but this advertisement caught my attention. It's for a motorized wheel that you can buy (for about $399) to attach to your bike. With a side cart, it might be a great way to do grocery shopping (on nice days in the summer, anyway), and since it gets 200 miles to the gallon, Al Gore would probably approve. Of course, it would be better to just use your leg power, but we have some pretty steep hills where I live. I doubt I'd make it up them with a load of groceries in tow.
