It's a headline that completely depends on how you define cheating. Some people will define cheating as "anything easier than pedaling without any electric assistance". Some people will define it as "not pedaling at all". Most reasonable people don't care either way, because lets be honest - they just want to get to their destination (and perhaps do a bit of exercise) without sweating like a pig and exerting themselves to exhaustion. I feel like the only people who get hung up on the cheating aspect are some of those super serious spandex bikers going 25mph on their $8000 bike at 6AM on a Saturday. Thank god they're in the minority.
