UCI is a fun police and will ban fun things. If the product of the sponsor harms the body, like cigarretes or alcoholic beverages, fine, ban it;

If OnlyFans was best known for men portraying women, as opposed to women portraying women, Buchanan would be being celebrated. Double Standard.

What is so bad about adult entertainment that UCI cannot be assosiated with it (especially just by having a contestant having a website that has porn as a sponsor). Its not like porn is illegal or evil or is that how its seen in the US? Where I live it is very normal for adults to consume porn so i dont really get it. Its not like he is sponsored by a website promoting violence, drug abuse or terrorism etc. Seems very narrow minded and fundamentalistic to me.

Well, 9take deep breath), That new Norco guy doesn't seem as bad as I thought, after that first press release that sounded like it was written by Outside Magazine and Pfizer together.

Gracious of you to offer to meet face to face but apparently you can’t handle having your charade dropped online so I don’t think an in person meet up would help you. Please just go back to your bud therapy and the parking lot. Do you still rock 420 on your number plate?

So, you’re whining about use & erosion in a bike park which allows e-bikes & actively hires them out too, as a revenue stream? 🤦‍♂️ Thankfully I live somewhere where guns arn’t legal & ebikes are. That way I can ride my electric ‘toy’ (as you put it) as well as my non electric toy, depending on whichever way my mood takes me. I’ll make much more of an effort to be butthurt when an ebike overtakes me on a climb & get more laps in than me too. I’ll make sure to do the same about anyone catching lifts...

The sheer ignorance, arrogance and jealousy in this post is amazing. The eGenie is out of the bottle. Maybe you should consider that public trails aren’t your private trails. FYI, Class 1 ebikes are not moped but you know that. I’m sure you also know that a eBike has no more impact on trails than a non eBike inflicts on the trail. So you really just come off as being dumb when you suggest otherwise. Finally, the real reason you don’t like eBikes is you don’t like opening up the sport to people who enjoy it on a bike that...

ebikes hurt my feelings, wahwahwah

My issue and what irritates me to no end is that eBike haters always resort to them as if they are “motorcycles” or “MoPeds” and play right into the arguement of the anti access crowd. A Class One eBike (which are the only “eBicycle’s” that should be considered) is neither. It’s not hard to figure this out. You have to pedal it for it to move. They multiply the riders input. No throttle and no boost over 18 mph. YOU HAVE TO PEDAL IT to gain anything, they do not motivate under their own power. It’s really that simple and...

I think the easiest thing to do is ban anything that makes mountain biking “easier”. No gears. No crank arms. No wheels. Anything that gives a rider mechanical advantage. Horses should be banned too and basically anyone who has a bionic body part well you’re banned too. The land must only be used ONLY by the pure and preserved only for the worthy. The hell with your family life. You have to be committed. Your kids can watch TV by themselves. Ride, earn your turns. Getting older and want to enjoy the same trails? Who are you to still want...

Whilst land laws are clearly overly complicated in the US, with even more complicated rights of access, you could end up fully down a rabbit hole. But, if e-bikes are legal, then why wouldn’t you? Especially in your circumstances. The OTT, almost obsessive hatred that some Americans have towards them is just weird, when the rest of the world is just getting on with enjoying them for the most part. Thankfully, the UK is far more progressive in terms of land access & wherever a normal bike can go, so can an ebike. I live in a very popular riding...

By that logic then, so do fit people. I can do 2000m vert on my leg bike, or my ebike if I want to. I ride the same amount of trails. Some people just session one trail all day, pushing back up and doing multiple run. Are they monsters too? Also, for the sake of pendantry, they arn’t mopeds, e-mopeds, motos, etc & it makes you look like a silly child, calling them that with vitriol. I think you should stick to shouting at clouds.

With all the horror in the world…potential nuclear war, food shortages, inflation, homelessness, drugs, murder, robbery, car jacking, cashless bail, releasing violent criminals…. And yet there are those who want someone to enforce a no eBike policy so they don’t have to be passed on a climb and their ego can safely come out of a pillow lined basement. makes perfect sense. Grow up, much bigger issues in this world than policing fun.

So basically you have no facts to back you up just your clearly unbiased opinion… dude GFY. You’re exactly the type clown that makes mtb activism such a joke.

Like it or not eBikes are the future there’s a massive amount more lazy people than are fit ones, and there’s already a lot more companies out there that only do eBikes and are being backed by big money
