Some elements of being environmentally conscious are suggested quite often yet nobody seems to be doing them -- like reducing carbon emissions by riding your bike to work for example. How many of you have heard this suggestion before? How many of you have actually tried it or are doing it?

Well I work from home but even if I didn't I can honestly say I wouldn't seriously consider pedaling to work as an option. I wouldn't mind being out in the elements on nice days (my hair is always a bit crazy anyway) and in theory the exercise would be great, but who wants to leave that much earlier in the mornings only to show up all tired and sweaty from the trek? No thanks, not me.

So that's where this Electrobike Model Pi comes in. It's a nice cross between a bike and motorcycle, so it's both environmentally friendly and career-friendly. You'll get there faster and you decide how hard you work. After it charges up electrically at your house you then have the option of pedaling or cruising (at a cool 20 mph for up to 30 minutes). Now, considering the price tag of $8,000, this is only for those who will seriously use it -- in which case more *power* to ya.
