Do you pedal while riding?

[S.O.G.]

So basically I'm curious as to how many of us pedal with our motors or just motor along. Personally I pedal with mind (mainly due to cops and wanting to draw as little attention to myself as possible)

How about you?

it depends

sometime I pedal just to do something. One option left out was at times I turn the motor off and just pedal. this happens when I am downtown at the university and I want to cut though the crowed. I go into "stealth mode" that way nobody is offended and I can ride though the commons without a problem.

No way I could do that in a car or on a Motorcycle.

I built my bike to emulate a early motorcycle, so that's how I ride it- maybe a couple pumps from a dead stop, but nothing more. Also, my bike is geared to only pedal from a dead stop up to, maybe, 10mph.

I pedal a lot, but it varies. Sometimes i pedal all day without the motor, sometimes i let the motor do all the work, and sometimes "we" work together.

All of the above except for the pedalling all day one....too old and lazy for that.

Me And My Motor Bike Don't Pedal Much

when we get together
I don't pedal much
a sweet little machine
and I love that touch

just a little stroke
as I am riding up some hill
don't pedal much
plently of time to kill

me and my little machine
guess that my legs are lazy
many things to ride but I like this thing
some call me crazy

I have the motor on my bike so I DON"T have to peddle. Other then starting up , or from a stop....motor ALL the way.

I agree with Ron I DON"T have to peddle. Other then starting up , or from a stop. Thats way I put a motor on it. I get tired after a block of peddling and thats at slow speed.

I pedal from a dead stop and when I run out of gas. I find on one of my bikes, if I try and pedal at above 14mph, the chain jumps off of the pedal side and wraps around the axle about five or six times before I can stop.

If I didn't pedal I would be walking to work.
