^^ it’s that simple. Expectations for what a mtb can do and has to survive has changed. Long travel = more weight. More Speed = More weight. More durability = More weight.
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...
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...
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?
“That way kids can hike and play with salamanders in creeks without being trampled by mopeds.” Pretty funny that your avatar is you crashing down a creek bed on your gravity moped.
The only person that’s come off like a complete moron is you. No facts, just butthurt feelings. National Forests are not wilderness areas. Wilderness areas can be within the National Forest but a National Forest is not within a Wilderness. Seems like small point I’m sure to genius like you but it does matter. For the record, in a National...
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...
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.
A lot of rage? That’s what countering your narrative is? anyway, you claimed in your post or at the VERY least inferred that eBikes were to blame. They are not. if “MtB” wants to be treated as a real user constituents they need to fight back. So unless the SCOTUS is who ruled on this case it should have been...
The story about the trail closure in Montana, you’re blaming eBike for the closure of trails IN A WILDERNESS? While I don’t actually believe that a bicycle should be banned anywhere a horse is allowed, this closure had zero to do with eBikes. ANY MtB’s period were not legal in these areas. every arguement about ebikes boils down to one...
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...
