E-bikes are a thing

[Steve Vai]

Well, the better question is there anyone at any shop that would want the liability that comes along with doing such an assessment

I'd do it, but my bill to the town would have a lot of zeros. Just like when we do Insurance Quotes for crashed bikes.

Dupont State Park. Western NC.

Which this now made me think of the conversation I had with a guy who runs the bigger bike shop here. Tourism is down overall likely due to Helene, maybe economy? Typically they would have 20 bikes out on rental for the weekend and now it's 10.

But due to E-Bikes being banned in Pisgah/Dupont they get a lot of people from Florida who just won't come up now as as they want E-Bikes to deal with the elevation.

I don't see how me riding a Class 1 e-bike in Eco mode with a group of regular bikers should be illegal. Sigh

Nice. I don’t pay so I couldn’t read much more than the first few sentences. 80MPH? Kid is lucky he is still breathing.

I assume no one follows that. I know at least 100 people that have ridden e bikes there, excluding the 6 I saw Friday 😂

True, I stopped riding there when the signs went up. I have stopped riding in NYS parks , they don’t want me there, screw them.
