Do eBikes belong on the mountain?

[Tatt]

My plastic surgeon loves all cyclists, ebike or not. He has made a fortune over the last 10 years or so!

You have a plastic surgeon on like speed dail? I even fiddle my thumbs when having to complete "name and contact details of your house doctor?" question.

With all the Ebikes and the massive growth in this market with waiting lists of e-bikes at stores world wide and the fastest growing bike segment in the world ref to USA/Eu and nearly 45% of Eurobike halls full of Ebikes - I suspect the nay sayers above in this thread we're the same old / young bunch that poopooed 29er wheels and tyres! 

All to soon these hard peddles will be alone on that big mountain with hundreds of happy fit healthy Ebikes flying past them doning more km, jumping more trailes and  obviously showing empathy and pity to the bitter and bitterly slow riders trekking along. 

Happy riding folks. 

 

 

Some okes!

Sad to say, but yes I do!! Had a branch go into my leg which took over a year to fix. And then there's all the other *** I've got up to which has made Netcare and Mediclinic rich! My bike value to hospital bill ratio currently stands at about 1:6..

Needless to say, I have just ordered an emtb..

My orthopaedic surgeon says his kids go to the best schools and get overseas holidays because of us. More lucrative than motorbikes and rugby put together.

That's what I thought and kind of what I did, and the reason why it took so long to heal. Bits of branch were left behind in my leg. And I'm still reaping the reward of not getting it surgically removed, bits of wood and twig still work their way to the surface!

Quite apart from the smug one up "I'm so clever" delivery style his point seems to be to blame the victims. 

A car is one of the most dangerous things on and for the planet.

As to your question. Sure, they belong on the mountain.  I'm not the kind of guy to go tell the fatso at the casino buffet that he perhaps shouldn't be having that fourth serving of waffles.  Let him think he's got it all if that makes him happy.

I think after the Argus people are asking if they belong on the road...

I was wondering how long it would be before they make up the majority of the field. It certainly saw a HUGE increase over the last two years. 

Edit: I know it's unlikely, but still.........
