The good news: They highlight a couple of older cyclists who use electric-assist bikes to keep on rolling, and also electric-assist utility cycles for commercial delivery use.

The bad new: The idea clearly just doesn’t work for one of the newscasters. (Be sure to watch the clip through to the end.)

Particularly when broadcast from a Los Angeles area station, his remark brings Congressman Earl Blumenauer’s famous question to mind:

“How many people are stuck in traffic on their way to ride a stationary bike at a health club?”

I’m glad the folks profiled in their story are enjoying their rides and getting their exercise. Perhaps that newscaster would profit from doing the same.
