E-bikes are a thing

[Patrick]

So they’re bringing the ******* back into the sport then? Hmmm, somehow I don’t buy that. They didn’t quit because the climbs were too hard, anyone that enjoys descending enough to do 3000ft of it doesn’t just quit.

I'd make this a private message, but what I thought was obvious, apparently is not.
For everyone's edification.

What we aren't going to do is use slang for female body parts as a descriptive term...for anything.
Thank you.

still don't get it?? the post was a joke - you seriously think anyone would confuse an e motorcycle for an e bike? sheesh!

Someone has to fill in for the dear departed @gtluke

i rode this sweet bastard today...as @MadisonDan has previously mentioned, these are fun AF!

i wanted to do a side by side compare of my speed and HR vs my typical, analog CitiBike commute, but of course, i forgot to hit record on my apple watch strava before starting...so...

all i can tell you is, i did my typical 9 mile ride in 39 minutes vs the daily average of about 45 minutes...

i was also a hell of a lot less sweaty, though not completely sweat free

Ok I read this whole thing looking for an infraction and after the last 7 pages my Ban Hammer was strong. But I’m not seeing anything.

Where’s the beef?

Oh come on now, I hear the ladies yelling this at the guys in the gym, but I will abide by the rules. If you're offended by that, don't watch any Guy Ritchie movies or frequent any British forums. Is it ok if I call someone a boob? Guys have them too you know.

I am not offended at all. I read what you said, not how you said it.
Also, I don't use other's behavior as a means to justify my own.
Thirdly, i wouldn't use entertainment as a guiding light of etiquette.

Read the room. The new world demands restraint, as there are people who will not read your opinion, because they can't get by how you are expressing it.

The word boob as derogatory? It has nothing to do with the body part, except providing the basis for the slang.

And you are apparently cherry-picking the posts you want to read. He later hinted he didn't post it as a joke:



The bike pictured does sort of blur the lines a bit. it's obviously an e-moto, but could be confused as an e-bike.

Honestly, I don't really give a fuck if it was a joke. My sense of humor depends on the situation. If it looks like a legit question, I will answer it honestly, no matter how innocuous or leading it may seem.

Here it is @Patrick @Norm

Correctly used: Those are two boobs.

I'm the policeman here. Just in case you didn't know where that came from.

I don't like to censor, there is incredible feeling in the words we choose.
They convey intensity, or passion. Especially when someone reserved, chooses to
use an edgy word to make their point.

I'm very sensitive to misogynistic or misandric terms in the pejorative sense.
Not because i'm offended, rather because it is no longer socially acceptable,
and others are truly offended. It's a bad look.

Dismiss the trends of society, and society will dismiss you.
