Kona Bikes Sold to Kent Outdoors
Things are different now. Bikes don't suck, there's actually trails, and YouTube/Instagram are exposing millions of new people to the sport. This is sustainable growth not boom and bust.

New U.S. Congress Bill Proposes a Tax Rebate for E-Bike Purchases
Write your representative. This is what I wrote:
Please vote NO on the E-BIKE Act. This act would give unnecessary tax credits to purchase E-bikes, to people who don't need them, for dubious environmental reasons. This bill is bad policy on so many levels.
1) it's a giveaway for rich people. Working class people aren't buying e-bikes. This will not incentivize someone who wasn't already planning to buy an ebike to buy one.
2) it will produce NEGATIVE environmental benefits. The environmental impact of extracting materials and manufacturing batteries will outweigh the very small benefits from reducing short-distance car commutes.
3) It will not decrease car travel. An e-bike does not replace a car.
4) Commuting by bike is impractical in many parts of the country for most of the year, due to excessively cold, wet, or hot weather.
5) People are commuting less due to the pandemic; especially office workers who are most likely to commute by ebike.
6) Disproportionately benefits urban professionals, who are in the least need of help. Does nothing for rural people, working class people who live outside the urban core, people who need their cars for work (tradespeople, delivery drivers, etc.), or people who commute in the dark.
7) The bill would worsen the trade imbalance because e-bikes and e-bike components are overwhelmingly manufactured in Asia.

Who Is Cannondale's Rising Enduro Star Kera Linn?
Is she in the witness protection program? Have we really reached the point where it's politically incorrect to show a picture of someone's face?

How did Silver Mountain in Idaho do? Seemed like it was getting all the Washington folk who would normally go north.

Ridden & Rated: 11 of the Best New Men's Riding Pants
My pair of Fox Ranger pants just showed up (after 3 months!) and I love them. All the mud goes on the pant instead of on you and your kneepads. Much better than shorts for wet conditions.

I'm impressed. I weigh 165 and I can't do 21 reps at 200!
