Hairy Posted April 10, 2019 Share Nope, all from our regular group of riders (Currently the WA group is at 65 users) ... our basic rule is that any bike is welcome as long as we don't have to fix it along the way.....and there were a good couple of interesting bikes that did not come along for coffee this morning. Some of the bikes in that pic have done some serious commuter miles! Interesting combo of bikes; hardcore singlespeed street cred commuter and couple of entry level hardtails. Let me guess: Local showing overseas guests around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Help.Me. Posted April 11, 2019 Share I had a good laugh now for all you sweating , stinking cyclist trying to have a cuppa and get frowned on by other customers in the shop...(comic sans)( this is where me and my 5 friends with our top dollar e-bikes get priority service, we dont stink and are not sweaty and looks as fresh as daissies when ever we enter a coffee shop, so e-bikes don't just belong in the mountains!!!

BUT, did you notice the looks you got from the other (motor)bikers on their breakfast run .... NOTE - I have spoken to enough e-bikers to KNOW they work up a decent sweat. Most only use the ebike to cover longer distances, and more hill repeats .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
