Wrong-way cycling actually makes it harder for motorists to see the bicyclists. And it's motorists seeing bicyclists that we should be most concerned about.

It makes sense that you'd need the extra boost from an electric motor to get over hills because of all the weight from the electric motor — a self-fulfilling prophecy. A doctor in the UK, however, says they're very useful for patients recovering from knee surgery or those with circulation problems in their legs.
