I see a ton of these every time I'm out on my bike commuting here in the valley. My first reaction is "how the eff is that guy riding so fast" then I realize he MUST have an assist because it's a more casual looking rider on a more upright style bike, he's still pedaling but just FLYING.

Ehhh, unless you see the motor, he might just be pounding along with his own two legs. I ride year round so I'm in pretty good shape for biking but I still occasionally get smoked (uphill) by some guy on a MTB with a seat that's too low and sporting a rusty orange chain.
