People can think what they want about ebikes and access but when they start saying the bikes don't handle good or they're to heavy, I have to try and educate them because it simply is not true anymore.
I've been racing bicycles for over 35years(bmx,xc,dh, Enduro), have a couple National championship plates and riding ebikes is the most fun I've ever had on a bicycle.

A few years ago a friend and I found a cop sitting in a parking lot right after some kids in a pickup almost hit us. Was not interested in doing anything about it at all.
I want to ask one, say you're stopped on the highway, writing a ticket, helping a guy with a flat, etc, and a diesel truck goes by you, flooring it, blowing a cloud of smoke, blaring the horn, and misses you by 6 inches? Probably just let that go, right? They didn't actually hit you, so no harm no foul. Now imagine it happens to you every day.Last edited by jamal; 04-26-2019 at 10:13 AM.

Man people suck. I’d love to road ride when the trails are too wet but I just don’t trust people enough. Sucks.
I ski 135 degree chutes switch to the road.

Shitty articles like this:

Who cares what helmet he has, what bike, or shoes he's riding in? The man looks like he's having a great time! And if I read that you should get clipless pedals one more time.... fuck you!

Cool! The rocky seems like itd be a fun playful ride. Hear good things on that motor they've developed. I'm leaning towards the yt now. Just seems like thatd fit me best and the price is ok I'm guessing we've raced each other. I have a couple guesses. Only a few fit that description. Longevity being the key clue. Wish they had enduro races back when. Good luck on grabbing an eeb

Those fucking Razorbacks. Around the time that I had that RM9, I was working in a shop that sold K2's. The best thing I can say about those bikes is that they weren't as bad as the Marins we also sold.
Also, I had an irrational lust for Y-bikes. 1995 era me thought they were fucking cool. Even while working in a shop that sold them and coming to the inescapable conclusion that they sucked. I still wanted one, because they were plastic, and smooth, and shiny.

Me too. That's why I bought it. And to be honest... coming from an early '90s rigid Giant it WAS an improvement. But not by much. And it was probably mostly due to what little suspension it had.
I will say that replacing the elastomer fork with a Zoke Bomber Z2. That coil travel was SOOOOOO buttery. Well... in comparison.

Yeah - that never would have worked for me... I was always slamming the seatpost down on descents simply for self-preservation. That fucking Fox shock had USELESS rebound control. In fact, it may not have actually had a rebound circuit at all. That shock sucked. Not as bad as the Judy fork... but...

I remember when a buddy got one of those first generation bombers when I still had a Judy XC (with white bros. internals - to really get full advantage of all 60mm of travel). That Z2 was eye opening - so smooth. I mean, sure, it bottomed out if you even looked at it hard. But it bottomed out like butter.

That's fucking funny.
Plus they were Italian sculpture man. Like a Ducati for your bike.
And it's back. No 60mm travel option though.

Back to the ranting.. (and I'm sure this one's been done to death but)
The constantly changing mtb 'standards'. Time to call them trends, the use of the term standard in this context is simply wrong. Standards are, well, standards - they shouldn't be changing sorry evolving lol every few years.
In the past few years I've been fucked over by (k just had to spend more $$$ to make shit work):
Giants Overdrive / Overdrive 2 'technology' when upgrading my fork
Trying to upgrade wheels on an 'outdated' 26'er? Good luck finding what you're looking for. Shout out to Bicycle Wheels Warehouse for helping me on this one.
and now currently spending the afternoon researching Shimano's I-spec, I-spec a/b, I-spec II bs since I got a new brake set that is I-spec II and doesn't want to play nice with my existing shifters.

I'm sick of every repair on my bike being way harder than it should be. I mainly blame myself.
Like yesterday. I bought a freewheel removal tool for a 3? year old Shimano cassette. Why the fuck does it not slide in??? I bought the 1.3 version.

Chicanes, those fucking things annoy the shit out of me.
If you really want to control speed through high traffic areas build a bike specific trail, not a choke point that funnels people into a narrow path prime for conflict.
