I don't want to be a smart ass, but get out on that Scalpel and ride some dirt!
The poor Cannondale doesn't deserve weight being added, as you'd possibly end up leaving it road state, with slicks and batteries hanging on it. Buy yourself a real road bike, even the ones that Giant and Merida sell for 3000RMB ish are pretty reasonable, you can fly along at 30-40 kmh on that.
Not sure about lycra clothing though, but I'm always willing to make a few exceptions.

For five years I enjoyed having almost 200 kilometers of mountain biking trails outside my front door. In the last year they've paved half of it, I'm sure it won't be long before the rest of it gone as well.
I would get a nice road bike to ride to work if it didn't involve two 400+ meter hill climbs. You're either going up or down the whole way and it's all twisty, so you don't make up any time on the downhills. That's the main reason I was looking at a little assistance from an electric. It's not the distance, it's the hills.
Lycra clothing.... nice
Cheers!

My mountain footpaths have been turned into concrete walkways with stairs, thus ensuring the people driving their BMW's up to the mountain will not have to endure coming in contact with nature. I'm surprised they still let the trees live
. The last bits of wilderness that remains is slowly being turned into cemeteries, which I've learned is the best real estate based business going in China these days.
Given my location, I've actually been very lucky to have the place all these years, from 2000-2006 I never saw another person up there, and it was like having my own personal nature sanctuary out my back door. There are other areas to go cycling, but they all involve getting in the car and bringing the bike somewhere. Oh well, that's progress in China.
Cheers!

Ahh... I have devised this method. Everyone buys a mountain bike
, a spare quick release hub and a motorcycle
. The quick release hub is then welded or multiple zip tied to the left or right passenger peg of your motorcycle. Your mountain bike forks or rear dropouts (depending on the size of your front hub QR) is then attached to your motorcycle rear foot peg and the rest of the MTB is then attached by bungee ropes. Then you go find a hill miles away from the ruined local concreted shit. The end result wouldn't look quite like this
(but you get the idea).
The MTB weighs about 20-30% of a Chinese girl, and has less air resistance, meaning over a weekend, you have your motorcycle and MTB cake and eat both! New trails can be found with Google earth and GPSWe haven't tried this yet, but we will be next spring.

It is surprising how fast you can go with tires that pump up to 120psi and are very narrow!Without consciousness, space and time are nothing; in reality you can take any time -- whether past or future -− as your new frame of reference. Death is a reboot that leads to all potentialities.
