You wanted a bike.
(But so much physical effort!)

So you thought about a Vespa. A Harley, even.

(And then you thought: Perhaps a little too-too?)

Leave it to Ford to come up with the ultimate compromise: An environmentally appropriate global automotive brand.

A bike you don’t have to pedal.

The whisper-quiet, 25-mile-per-hour bicycle?known as the Th!nk Bike?has a 24-volt energy source with a motor that you can turn on or off with a key.

The bikes came on the cycling scene this past July (could it be a response to the Razor Scooter mania?), but only to a limited audience. You can order them from thinkmobility.com.

They’ll take you places?

Depending on how far you really want to go.
