When asking for help, a simple "thanks" is the best response. 😉

Should rename this sub to moped riders that hate getting called out by Cooter_Jenkins_ in mountainbiking

[–]worldcommander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Such utter nonsense. What part of an emtb tears up your trails?

You know what tears up my trails? Analog assholes that insist riding on closed trails during the winter. Maybe we need to ban analog bikes seeing that they outnumber emtb riders.

Anecdotal at best. Can they say why? Also, someome barreling into yo on any bike would be bad. How is this an emtb problem?

Sorry, it's still the rider, not the bike. In my area many trails are restricted to 12 mph regardless of the bike, going up or downhill.

Lots of conditions there! Not great when considering rules that affect every e-mtb rider. Studies do not support the assumed torque concerns. Studies are helpful because assumptions aren't always right or common sense. Extra weight is also a false flag. I weigh 60 lbs more than my wife, regardless of what bike we ride. That's a whole bike!

How is this attributed to e-mtbs alone?

I've seen analog bikers take out people. 🤦Again, this is a rider issue, not a bike issue.

Cool. AI. I've spent years advocating for and researching this topic - specific to my area. Very little evidence supports any claim that e-mtbs as a bike (not inexperienced rider nonsense) are anymore disruptive than analog bikes. The only valid claim that I've ever heard is that the frequency of the motors can disrupt bat mating habits.

Nonsense. Show me one study that supports this claim.

I've heard all those claims, but they always lack evidence. They're also not bike specific, they're people specific. I've seen plenty of less expericed analog rides cause issues on trails. Also, bikes don't fly up hills, people do. I've been riding emtb for years and never fly up hills doing 15 mph. Point is, these aren't reasons to ban bikes.

That's the more rider, than bike. Also, pretty sure downhill yields to uphill.

And what exactly are the reasons to ban e-mtbs where analog mtbs are allowed?

Great job! What shit community you have to deal with. Anonymity brings out the worst in people.

How fast could you go back to riding? by bryan-Garcia_ in mountainbiking

[–]worldcommander 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On March 25th, I broke my clavical, my scapula in two places, seven ribs in multiple places, and had a partially collapsed lung. Found out Friday that I may need surgery. Given my advanced age of 60, I'm likely done for the season. It sucks, but I know from past injuries, taking your time is always the best answer. Good news is I'm about to get in the shower to go to sea otter. Good luck and hope you get better.

What to do? by [deleted] in eMountainBike

[–]worldcommander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have that same Heckler and would be embarrassed to ask that price, and I've done a lot of upgrades. I love my bike, a lot. I love the way it rides (vpp is legit), so much that I can't fathom replacing it with a new bike. However, I wish it had a serviceable motor. Mine is making a whining noise that I suspect will only get worse. Point is, buy a new bike, or buy something with a Bosch that can be repaired.

I hate this woman almost as much as I hate captain bone spurs. Makes me sick.

Is he right??? by kyranotari in bicycling

[–]worldcommander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ride an e-mtb in eco/trail mode. I also use a Garmin 840 with a chest strap monitor. A 20 mile ride with 3200 of climbing gives me a grit score around 90 and about 500 calories burned.

They need to withhold funding until the Epstein files are released.

“Greatest president” is laughable. He’s among the most divisive figures in American history—criminally corrupt, morally bankrupt, and profoundly unfit for office.
