I rode by myself yesterday. I was crossing a valley which is very popular with cyclists and a guy on an e-bike passed me. After a couple miles he was still in sight and the road tilted down a bit so I went after him. He had a rear rack and a duffel and a strap was hanging down into the rear wheel.
When I pulled up alongside him he was so startled I thought he might fall off. I warned him about the strap and he stopped to fix it. Shortly after that there was a slight uphill and he caught me easily and thanked me profusely I guess he hasn't received a lot of love from the local roadies.
Today I went to the bike path north of here. I usually don't go there on weekends I was extra careful as there were knuckleheads about. I also saw some of those huge fat tired e-bikes. It looks strange to see a 100 pound girl on a gigantic fat bike. Reminds me of when I saw a lady pushing her e-fat on the bike path looking for a place she could get the thing rolling.
