As with all these comments, there should be no General Discussion at all. Every single thread here could be elsewhere.
I do not understand why people show up to threads they have no interest in to tell others they have no interest and it should go elsewhere so they don't have to see it.

The day I can take an ebike down a limited access interstate (and no, not one of those special bits out west where most traffic is allowed), maybe my stance will change.
