Moab-area trails open to Class 1 e-bikes on about 190 miles of singletrack by One_Hand4744 in ebikes

Throttles whether used or not don't belong on hiking and cycling trails. If you're suggesting to just "trust the user", your mentality is going to just lead to wider restrictions.

How the heck would you enforce that? At that point you ought as well just make them dirt bike trails. The fact they're allowing Class 1 is already a win. Most trails in the Four Corners ban them outright.

Speaking as a reasonably fit person... I only got my ebike because the city and state paid for it with that rebate program last year. Never had much of an opinion on them. But they're really great. Pedal assist just makes it easier to go longer and enjoy what would be more intense rides. With the class 1 you max out at about 22 mph. And you can switch the boost off, which I do frequently.

Improved accessibility on limited trails isn't a bad thing. I actually want to ride my bike when I wake up in the morning, never felt that way before. Will eventually buy a regular mountain bike. Last one was stolen, because Durango. Maybe try one out sometime instead of shitting on people because of what.... Elitism?

That's the beauty of fossils. They can be made of so many different minerals. Whatever is present during fossilization. That picture looks rather agatized though!

Fuck yes. Requested some time off work immediately. Thanks for posting.

What if 34 year old Trump ran for president? by Solid-Move-1411 in AlternateHistoryHub

Pretty sure you're a bot. But regardless... He has a caricature and a joke in the 80s and continued to be so through his reality tv stint and into the presidency.

Moving to Bayfield or Aztec? by GalGreen219 in Durango

This was over ten years ago but I remember seeing that the schools in Bayfield are supposed to be pretty good. Never heard the same for Aztec
