What are your opinions on e-bikes? My wife and I bought them last summer to get more exercise, and I’ve been shocked to see a backlash against them from cyclers (e.g. there’s another comment above saying anything with a motor isn’t a bike).
In my mind, having an e-bike is no different than getting something like a carbon fiber frame. If it makes your biking experience more enjoyable, then great.
This is actually a great question because I don’t really care what bike you’re ridding, as long as your cool, follow road or trail rules, and wave back lol
At the end of the day, as long as you’re having fun and being respectful of other people, you’re cool in my book. I do know what you’re talking about though. I actually went on a cycling tour in Italy last year and on some of the group rides we’d have e-bike road bikes join. There wasn’t an issue but back in America…yea different story
Bro, I have “trail friends” which are dudes I just see on the trail and we always wave to each other. I have no idea what their names are but a solid wave back from someone you see semi-regularly that’s grinding —> 👋

Lol my wife and I were joking about that a couple days ago. Reminded us of this old commercial.
