If he or she were really so gung-ho, why is a computer necessary? Or electricity? The internet is evil too! He or she should be using carrier pigeons or having a face to face talk. Or at least penning a letter. Then again, isn't paper evil as well? As is ink. Those are forms of technology.
And apparently, electricity is just fine for powering up the laptop or smartphone, and for powering up bicycle lights. Batteries are fine for the tv remote and for all of the other household appliances that he or she uses daily. Oh wait, flashlights are evil too! A candle and matches save the day! No commercial soap for washing dishes, either. He renders his own fat after slaughtering the pigs he's raised since he was an infant.
Yeah, electricity and batteries are handy dandy for anti e-bike rants but batteries suddenly become evil on a bicycle. Hypocrisy at it's finest.
