If you can get past the slightly dodgy headline, the fact that it’s there tells you something. More than the very brief stories of individual riders, it tells you that a fashion-forward urban bicycling magazine aimed at the young and hip thinks that electric cycling — and electric cyclists — are interesting.

I think that’s culturally significant in and of itself. And I’d think so even if they hadn’t asked me to write the article.

I had the opportunity to do extended interviews with several of these cyclists, and there’s lots more to tell. Watch for more detailed stories about some of these riders coming up in the weeks ahead in the Electric Cyclist discussion forums here at http://electriccyclist.com/forum.
