Ebikes actually let you ride longer and get more laps and is actually a better workout cause you can ride downhill more and keeps you heart rate at a consistent medium and I can ride more and now I'm a little fatter but faster cause I can ride downhill more and it's more fun and you get used to the weight and it's actually better on jumps and tech and ya

Cushcore has come a long way

Yes, maybe you haven't noticed, but pinkbike is primarily an advertisement platform now. It's called "enshittification".

Dang, I ain't ever gonna watch an ad to see a video on Pinkbike!

Imagine you operate an ice cream selling business and you are very good at selling ice cream. Unfortunately, making ice cream is very difficult, so you don't have the ability to make your own ice cream. Your only option is to buy ice cream from other businesses that are really good at making ice cream. One ice cream making company offers you 10 ice creams for the price of 8 ice creams. Another ice cream company offers for 5 ice creams for the price of 4 ice creams. Yet another company offers you 1 ice cream for the price of that 1 ice cream. If you're trying to sell ice cream to ice cream eaters who want good, affordable ice cream, as well as turn a profit on your ice cream selling business, so you can continue selling ice cream to the people that want ice cream, which ice cream making business would you buy from? The ice cream making companies that succeed at balancing the affordability and the quality of their ice cream get to make more ice cream at low costs to them. This is something that emerges from making ice cream at large scales. This results in them being able to get more ice cream to ice cream sellers at a lower cost to the ice cream sellers. Ice cream eaters in turn get to save money which is usually more valuable to them than having a variety of ice cream available to them. All that to say, the individual ice cream eater has very little influence on what the ice cream sellers are able to sell as well as what the ice cream makers make. Those two things are completely determined by what the collection of what all ice cream eaters are willing to spend their money on.

Not a huge fan of bikes, personally.

@Mac1987: Ya I guess so. I just soak the inside of rain jackets with sweat so I'm wet either way :shrug emoji:

If it's so wet I need a rain jacket, I'm gonna go do something else.
