I stopped riding with a local club because their rides are led by guys on pedal assist e-bikes, on trails that specifically say "no pedal assist." I had to dodge 3 people riding motorized One Wheel scooters on these same trails built by mountain bikers for mountain bikes. They were polite, but "no motorized vehicles" means "no motorized vehicles."
I’m curious on your thoughts about San Diego Mountain Bike Associations new love affair with e-bikes? One example is, recently they radically changed the Archipelago ride to include e-bikes. My other beef is that they sanitize trails, overbuild bridges, etc.
Companies are going to follow the $$ so unfortunately that means e bikes are here to stay.
The majority of people want"easier, faster" these days. E bikes give that :(
I ❤️ arch ride conspiracy theories Jajajaja
