I love my ebike! The hate is hilarious. Just deal with it, the ebikes aren’t going anywhere. They’re only getting more popular. My ebike and my analog bikes are both expensive. So what. They don’t cause more destruction to the trail like people say they do. Who cares what other people ride?? Lmaoooo

I laugh at all the people crying about e-bikes creating access issues and other dumb shit. Y'all might as well give up riding and buy a horse so you can just commit full time to making up trail horror stories about two wheeled hoodlums with their 20mph electric "motorcycles." If it's got two wheels and you pedal it, I support you riding it everywhere you want to ride it.
On one hand you are right. On the other hand, access issues are real around where I live. On the third hand, my, or anyone's else, personal dislike for the e-bike experience, is a personal dislike. I enjoy pedaling up without an assist. So what? I reserve my right to mock e-weenies.
I remember my days when road riding was a thing in my life…. Baggies, mtb pedals, old road bike with stupid gearing it was 11-24, huge rings and hairy legs…. I managed to keep up with serious roadies and they hated it….
When I wasn't fat and could pedal hard, I had bought wife a beach cruiser. Bright red step through frame, fenders, basket, bell and all the touches. My car was in the shop and I figured I'd ride the beach cruiser the 5 miles home with 3 feet of seat post exposed in my dirty shop clothes.
Local roadie try hard passed me on the side of the road and I instantly shift the internal hub into 7th, and tucked onto his back wheel. Of course he tried to go full agro and tries to split. Half a mile later he is full gassed and I ring the bell, give a cheeky "on your left" and proceed to pass him.. He didn't choose to take a draft on my wheel and pulled off the road.
I will never be able to do it again and I couldn't have done it with a real performance level rider.. But I still laugh at it years later.
Maybe if you rode a real bike and not an e-bike you wouldn't be fat.
Probably. Or even riding a bike (ebike or not) at all would help. Not drinking a 6 pack of beer a night probably would help too. But I take my title of up washed up racer very seriously.
