One option would be to not open an article that is entitled "E-bikes"? Or do you just like to complain?

Pinkbike Primer: Penultimate Race in the Battle for the Overall - Mont-Sainte-Anne World Cup XC 2022
@qualms23: Yeah, there may be 24 different countries with athletes at the Commonwealth Games, but how many of those athletes are good enough to be racing at UCI XCO World Cup level? I think about 5 riders maximum. It is nothing like a World Cup race at all. I mean there were only eight starters in the women's race. Most national championships do better than this, ha-ha!

Final Results from the Leogang XC World Cup 2022
@eekamouse: should be fairly straight forward to just twist them back, but given how long she spent in the tech/feed zone while her mechanics sorted things out, presumably there was a bigger problem?

Review: 2022 Santa Cruz Heckler MX - The Battery Powered Bronson
I agree. I've put my 2021 Trek Rail into a mullet set up. Much better value and running the superior Bosch motot (in my opinion).

@MarcusBrody: Yep, plenty of crags on the Port Hills, less than 10km from the city centre.

Christchurch. Great riding as already shown by Joe & Katy, and perfectly positioned to access all the other great locations the South Island offers.
I wouldn't worry too much about racism in Christchurch (or NZ generally). True, there's some bigots here, but there is everywhere. But they are definitely a minority. I think you'll find that all of NZ is very inclusive and very multi cultural. After all, everyone in this country is a migrant, or descended from a migrant!
There's great riding throughout both islands, but as you move North of Rotorua, the spots become smaller and more sparce and urban sprawl becomes more the normal. Plus, the already relatively high cost of living in NZ starts to climb even further.

There's lots of friendly and chilled out people living here. We have fantastic social welfare. The legal minimum annual leave entitlement is 20 days, in addition to the 10 annual statutory holidays. The mtbing is top quality through both islands. The climate is favourable to an almost limitless range of outdoor activities.
