On our Sunday recover ride yesterday, the topic of e-bikes came up. (We're 45-55, many either former or current amateur racers & a mechanic) The topic of e-bikes came up and were discussed very positively. One told the story was told of a 70 yr old who's ridden with his son for decades, but was no longer able to handle the big climbs. An E-bike allowed him to continue with the sport he loved, and to spend time with his son. Nothing wrong with that at all! Enjoy
