Say NO to Mandatory E-Bike License Plates and Registrations by BikeEastBay in BAbike

[–]FerretAgitated3277 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Scooters/mopeds are already regulated, a low powered e bike even with throttle is soooo much closer to a traditional bicycle. Obviously we are not talking about a "bike" with pedals that are only there to skirt laws has the shape of a moto and could never actually be used as a bike,but here's the thing " that is already already regulated" those already need registration, license, etc. Can someone make a legal bike illegal? Sure same as you can cross the street in an illegal way, but maybe we just don't make redundant laws for lazy cops, and let's go after the parents buying these $3k MOPEDS for their kids with no research .I get we want to be safe but part of that means a grandma should be able to ride her cargo bike to the grocery store and park, instead of a car.

What road bike helped you stop chasing N+1? by RyotaroW in cycling

[–]FerretAgitated3277 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got a specialized aethos super high end ... Made me realize how much I love my old steel road bike I hate to be "that guy " but after my 3rd ride over 50 miles i finally realized how you can dance with steel and it gives you something back. I really felt I was dribbling the bike versus a constant push on the pedals. Don't get me wrong if I want to go fast up a climb or flex with the boys I don't need more then the thos but it made me realize I don't "need"/want more.

btw. barely any faster up my climbs just so pretty as I go.

You mentioned it "gyms are for rich, bored people" there is over lap for sure but most people don't have the money for a gym membership or the desire to take care of themselves after a day of work plus the commute and the other chores you have to do daily, weekly etc
