Just one day in and I already want to throw my laptop across the room. A new record.

I think Gary might be sober again. Quick, someone get him a beer, an eight ball, some laudanum or whatever his poison of choice is.

[true story] Was done with that shit 25 years ago.
@Westy's recomendation of self medication is far more to my taste

Watching him ride the downhillbike with that jersey and a halfshell/goggle-combo made me shudder with glee and disgust.

Ignoring th dubious results in the video above. I'd actually really like an E-bike. Riding up hills for hours on end to enjoy a few minutes of descending for the last 30 years has been ok but I'd never say no to a lift. So why wouldn't I want a motor to help reduce the climbing time and increase the number of descents I can get to?
The main thing holding me back is the poor range the batteries seem to have. A normal morning/afternoon ride on my 33lb 170mm bike is a minimum of 4000ft climbing and around 11-14miles. But from what I've read that seems to be about the range of one battery on all the systems around just now rendering the idea pointless.
Geometry and looks aren't great on most of them either (yet).
I was hoping that's what YTs last hype campaign was gonna be about.
