But the only rumble for this gang--the Atlanta Harley Owners Group (HOG)--is the one in their stomachs. It's another Sunday ride in the country for the group, and as usual it ends with a feast. "We live to ride, and we ride to eat," says club assistant director B.K. Ellis, a systems analyst.

I did note the schwin is now manufacturing a model called a "Tailwind" that was shown in September at Interbike. It looks like it is straight out of the 70's. I had the opportunity to test ride a Chrysler Electric Bicycle a few years back. It weighed about 60lbs. It was a dog to pedal around without power assist. The battery was good for about 10 miles in the flat. The biggest problem however was trying to change a tire as the design made that very difficult. I'd love to see someone design a viable commercial recumbent with electric assist that wasn't a beast in the weight department.
