What’s going on here?

Not being a dick. Just seems a little overwrought. Really? You see a 300+% increase in longevity and performance by keeping your battery at 80% charge and storing it at the perfect temp? Bullshit.
...

Electric bikes seemed cool until you dorks starting talking about charging your battery. Seems like maybe you’re managing around the margins here, when do you see diminishing returns to the point it...

That sounds a little bit like progress.

My bike can ride wayyyy faster on mountain bike trails than a bike from 15 years ago could with the same rider. If that level of progress had happened...

Ah. I’m not even a little familiar with the trail. It would be fun to see video of a real e bike cleaning stuff that the stupid tricycle can’t even think of tackling. Or just them riding the stuff in...

That’s America’s toughest off-toad trail?

It’s an interesting point in the debate. Maybe those ARE tough trails that are designated for motorized use. It’s all intermediate mountain bike terrain,...

It’d seem one of those quiet little camping generators that run 10 hours on a gallon of gas would be the ticket....

Oh. You mean you’re a stronger rider who can adapt more easily?

Get a lifelike doll. Size of a 3 year old. See if they react when it suddenly tumbles into their path.

This is all interesting. For like the fourth time, I really don’t profess to know anything on the topic. I’m just arguing on the internet. However, I think the way this is framed precludes expansion...

Sounds like you have it all figured out.

Dirtbag was an early throwaway comment that was only meant to be illustrative (and a tad hyperbolic), but LeeLau jumped on it and ran and sang the song of...

You think? Is it really all about the knee jerk reaction that if you didn’t get there out of your own sweat and good health you don’t deserve to be there?

In terms of trail impact and noise (and...

Cool man. I’m not trying to be an authority over here. Just conversating. I’m surprised that adding demos to the sport, particularly potentially influential ones, categorically spells doom. I think...

Yeah. I guess your world is different. In mine, a dirtbag can scream themselves hoarse to accomplish what a rich older guy can get done with a couple comments on the golf course or over drinks. Your...

Meh. We’ll see I guess. I know nothing, just spitballing over here. Seems some guy who can drop $10k on a mountain bike and is otherwise limited by age/time is a better advocate than your average...

I agree. You’re a dick.

You probably block the passing lane too because your 5mph over the speed limit is as fast as anybody needs to go on that road.

The threat to access angle is...
