When I look at the measly amount of power I’m putting out on my typical ride and compare it to the horsepower of a typical e-bike, I’m not surprised.
Like about everyone else in this group, I’m fighting the aging battle. I still remember some days when even riding uphill seemed effortless, and something I could do all day. It’s a lot tougher getting to that point at an older age, but I’m hell bent to get it done.
