HDW Posted November 6, 2018 Share If you are climbing a piece of single track, and a rider on an E-bike keeps shouting "track" behind you, will you give way? SwissVan and BigDL 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodbadugly Posted November 6, 2018 Share That's a different way of saying the same thing.I would shut up if he'd stop pretending like he speaks for all and sundry. I also think that 2,3 or maybe even 10 years down the line we'll come back and say:"what people were against E-bikes in races?" So let's get the oracle's opinon on this one - wives riding an ebike to keep up with their husband?Unfortunately this is what is going to happen.Many advocates of this philosophy.Tony Robbins, a few Ruskies and this oke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted November 6, 2018 Share If you are climbing a piece of single track, and a rider on an E-bike keeps shouting "track" behind you, will you give way?Yes, why not? Would you do the same for a normal non ebike rider? If not, why not? And if so for the normal bike, but not for the ebike, why not? Common courtesy. BUT. If he was shouting TRACK / STRAVAAA etc, I'd inform him politely that a more respectful interaction would be advisable, lest he encounter someone not so amenable Wet Ears, BigDL, HDW and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchelicious Posted November 6, 2018 Share I think there should be a rule... If you want buy an eBike, you need to move to a plant based diet to offset your increased carbon footprint. Dirkitech, BigDL, Headshot and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headshot Posted November 6, 2018 Share I was threatened with death on occasion....Yes, it was hard in the beginning, but after a few minor bike tossing incidents, she became a really keen mtb and even road cyclist. So, yes, it can be done without mechanical doping. BigDL, Patchelicious and Dirt Tracker 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddaman Posted November 6, 2018 Share At one stage there was a science experiment that showed that a cyclist could generate enough electricity to power small kitchen appliances. Now we find that cyclists are using same amount of electricity as it takes to power small kitchen appliances nickc, Patchelicious, Mamil and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
