BOOOOOO E-BIKES
- Thread starter Gary
- Start date
Wow! Did you actually search for the most ridiculous knee jerk anti-ebike article you could find?
I rode my roadbike yesterday and it was lovely. light, nippy and faster everywhere except longer climbs than an Ebike. Average speed taking it fairly easy on a hilly route was over the SCARY AS FUCK 25kph Combined body and bike weight probably a little over the SCARY AS FUCK 100kg in the article.
Using the articles logic all fat fucks should be banned from riding bikes down all hills everywhere !!111!!1
If they're going to pull it apart at least use accurate data. E roadbikes start at around 12kg, FS Emtbs around 19kg and up to around 25kg. Because of the 15mph assistance limit they both go SLOWER on the flat than a lighter roadbike.

I'm not sure about the rest of the world but us Aussies are getting weak and we now have a thing called "Session Beer" which is a beer with less booze aimed at older people that "can't handle" full strength stuff anymore.why even bother?
Most of the cookie cutter mid strength beers just make you feel like you've had a beer with a water chaser. Haven't tried any of the hipster brands but I assume it would be similar to drinking the water from a vase after the flowers have been thrown out.
I've been to 'Murika twice, last time about 8 years ago. All their commercial beers were nothing but watery yellow soda, with some honorable exceptions. The microbrewery thing was just starting, so getting a decent non-lager in Rochester and Phoenix proved to be a difficult task. I blamed it on the local way of drinking -grab a six pack of Coors, Bud or some other light beer, stop only to grab another once the first one is done. Same applies to the coffee, Starbucks and other franchise stores had those half liter cups because serving sizes were increasing, but flavor and quality were diminishing.
I'm currently in a family vacation in Brazil -Rio de Janeiro to be precise- and beer here is light and easy to swallow too. Might be related with the fact you usually start drinking at the beach at 9.30 AM

To be fair, the micro brewery thing has been going on for 20-25 years, but it used to be like scoring pot in foreign countries...you had to know the hip part of town, and keep your eyes open for clues.
These days there are more micro-brews on the shelves than macro-brews, but not in gas stations in Kansas, (por ejemplar)
I've been loving those Session Ales. Finally a decent tasting alternative that won't leave me unable to ride if I have a few mid-ride beers on a Friday arvo.
IPAs are starting to grow on me... There are a lot of oily bearded hipsters in my area riding their single speed bikes, so there are lots of craft beer choices. But IPAs give me crushing hangovers.
I bet Gary is a dirty hipster.

Too much good stuff in here to not share. http://lizardbikes.com/
"Forget what you have seen of the old-fashioned style electric bikes that look like something your grandmother would ride, with the added lump of a battery!!"
"This bike is not for everyone, and can accelerate at a rapid speed for off-road adventures. In fact its so much fun, we had to fit a safety switch!!"
"Feel like the path ahead might be bumpy? Don't worry, our 1200 lb/in rear suspension will handle it."

Goddamnit, the internet has ruined me. Or maybe it's the bicycle industry. Fuck, I'm not even sure at this point. I'm not sure if this is real or not.Too much good stuff in here to not share. http://lizardbikes.com/

Are we positive this isn't some sort of elaborated trolling? I can't even think this is real...Too much good stuff in here to not share. http://lizardbikes.com/

Session beers (~4% abv or less) originated as a beer that was light enough for factory workers to drink on their lunch break and still be functional enough to return to work.
:twirlshipsterbeard:
I saw an even moar generic version of that contraption at a local bike fair a couple of years ago. That's why I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw these guys trying to sell that POS as a legit bike.

Are ebikes really an actual problem? I just rode Mt Lemmon for 10 days and I didn't see a single Ebike on the trails.
I like seeing Vinny T send it on his ebike.

Oh noes, the lizard people are coming!
Hey look e-bikes can make one of the most stylish riders in the world look like a goon!!
Potential loss of access for ALL mountain bikes due to bad actors is a very real problem.
Yeah.. that might have more to do with going for a long jump off a flat tarmac path into a grass fade. Dude's basically bunnyhopping a 50lb bike like 40ft+Hey look e-bikes can make one of the most stylish riders in the world look like a goon!!
This is god awful too
