On balance, I still am not a fan of e-bikes (previously known as ‘I just don’t get E bikes’)

Sorry I missed this ….

I’m not sure if it’s a serious comment or tongue in cheek so I’ll reply respectfully

Cycling is about marginal gains. Being able
to go further and faster than before. Gears are a pretty fundamental part of this as single speeds aren’t faster.

Once you strap a motor and battery to a bike which can be modified to exceed any normal speeds for even a pro this becomes a totally different conversation.

If you don’t understand the difference between adding gears or a motor to a bike to increase efficiency then I can’t explain it any further.

Oh, give it a rest

Don't feed the trolls mate.

Something to lighten the mood, illustrating that life is just too short.

Not so marginal gains

My first mountain bike




My current favourite in the workshop



And all with steel (lowest carbon footprint of the frame materials we use) and not a copper coil in sight….

Looks like a fab shop.

Just because you can doesn't mean you should. I thought you were too smart to be a troll, as trolls are generally of single figure IQ.

Every day a school day. Enjoy riding.

Initially I truly wasn't trolling if you read back. More trying to get across a point that i understand e-bikes but their usage has been abused.

But once the insults start being thrown its fair game in my eyes.

Had a good gravel ride this morning, waved to many ebike too.
