i24 Posted October 11, 2021 Share 1 hour ago, YaseenEnos said: with the number of people on ebikes growing, i dont think this will be a long term practical solution. to have the man power to inspect the bikes whether at registration or on race day is impractical. This goes for all races (MTB and Road) Also ebikes are starting to look very much like normal bikes so policing it is going to be difficult. Dont know what the solution would be going forward.... I don't see how you can reign in ebikes without some kind of inspections. So what is the alternative? Do nothing until there is a nasty ebike related crash and they all get banned? Ebikes are not going away. So the ebike riders and ebike industry need to come forward with practical solution and the man power to make it happen. I am more worried about ones that look like this rather than normal bicycles with discreet "mechanical doping". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stringbean Posted October 11, 2021 Share Is it me or is the CTCT loosing its appeal?Not to us cyclists but to general population.Old days Lemmer live TV coverage,lots on social media. Thus year very little.I know it was streamed but just not the same. Loss of interest or just saving money? Quagga 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
