I’m seeing them pretty frequently now, including on Loveland Pass, and inwardly hope they’re not helping fuel the resentment many CO drivers already exhibit towards cyclists, but really, how much worse can they be than the non-motorized spandex warriors?
God this fucking thread is sounding exactly like the great snowboard debates. I guarantee you the same verbiage was used then.

WTF dude. You're losing it, take a lap.
Because unfit unskilled people with $5-10k could spend it on a snowboard and suddenly go faster than fit skilled skiers?Quote:

A closer analogy would be something like splitboard vs snowmobile.Quote:

Let’s lose the ebike nomenclature and call them what they really are; 5-6k mopeds.
I'm definitely more in this camp than "they're just bikes, no real difference."Quote:

I don't think it's reasonable to try enforcement via rangers or similar.
Bike industry probably loves ebikes. Expensive, proprietary, guaranteed obsolescence in short period of time, requiring purchase of entire new ebike.
Absolutely this.Quote:

If I can buy a few more years with an ebike, it will be hard to turn down. I’ve been an avid cyclist since around 1984. It will be a sad day when I have to cross pass rides off my trail map. An ebike could help postpone that for a few years until dementia takes over...
...oops, too late!

Serious question. Why do you come to this thread and bitch about something that you seem to have no clue about? Its not like youre in the minority so maybe the group gives you comfort to make up theories . You're getting upset about people riding bikes and when they ride their bikes it has no impact on your ride unless you make up some outlandish forecast or focus on that one incident that happened to a friend of a friends friend. It is very entertaining though. Brb going for lapz. Let your rage flow and ill check back after
