Pure Savage Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 (edited) like these oneshttps://www.cyclingnews.com/features/best-road-e-bikes-for-2019/ Going to take a beady set of eyes at the start chute to spot that Colnago or the Bianchi I am pretty sure that if someone that wants to beat me to 170th place at the Cycle Tour and is willing to use an e-bike, then that same person has probably been doping etc before, so its no different. If people want to cheat themselves, so be it. For a cyclist 109km is not even a full bidoen worth of energy, if e bikes allow dads and sons ride together that have never been able to then I think its worth it. Could be worse, could be riding a single speed in the racing bunches JJ Edited October 10, 2019 by Pure Savage Wannabe and Wayne pudding Mol 2
Pure Savage Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 a scale and a cell phone app will do the trickTo be fair, most normal Dogma's will probably tip the scale at over 10kg A scale is a good test though, also I am sure this will be great fun to watch on the morning Long Wheel Base, DieselnDust and MDJ 3
DieselnDust Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 the opportunity of course is that the e-bikers will pull at the front till their battery runs out (probably somewhere around Cafe Roux)....then the RACE is on and the motorpacers can pull for coffee and bagels before tackling Chappies on a 22kg road bike Pure Savage, Mamil and Long Wheel Base 3

DJR Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 I mean. once they let MTB's do the Argus, it would only be a matter of time till E-bikes with the same broomstick handlebars could take part... Maybe a special starting chute with a 900mm wide gate.......if you can't ride through, they hand you a hacksaw....... Pure Savage, thisismyotherbike, Frail.

Rouxenator Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 Maybe a special starting chute with a 900mm wide gate.......if you can't ride through, they hand you a hacksaw....... Now I'm even more tempted to take my MTB.You put the wheel through, rotate 90 degree, put handle bar through....
Slowbee Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 They should have a vintage/steel bike chute *take note of waynes bike, stalk him on fb to find his start # and chute, calculate when he will be going for a loo break, swop his bike for mine, look cool finishing on real steel* DieselnDust, DJR, Wayne pudding Mol and 2 others 5

Wayne pudding Mol Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 And all participants must complete the course on red wine and French loaf (Grape juice for those who are committed to not drinking alcohol)I had thought of starting a ride your vintage bike in the CTCT thread and then realised it was too much admin - first one home is the loser and buys the drinks, coffee stops compulsary, beer stop optional as long as you can get back without causing havocAnd to be inclusive, histotically significant non steel welcome (just in case I want to dress up as LA and ride my trek) DJR and DieselnDust 2
