So there I am, wearing regular shorts and cotton t-shirts, riding MTBs with sneakers, and slowly going up a hill while cursing the mushiness of the bike - and this woman zips by me like i was standing still. She's pedaling, and i dont see the bike too well but i see enough to realize it is a hybrid: a big part of me just DIED inside at that. 10 minutes later, she goes zipping by in the other direction. And another 15 minutes later, comes back and drops me again.
To be honest, I didnt see what kind of bike she had. But it MUST have been an e-bike. Right? Right?
