I hear your frustration and I appreciate your candidness in this discussion. E-bikes aren't for everyone, and it's essential to acknowledge the varying perspectives within the cycling community. Some cyclists might feel that e-bikes compromise the essence of traditional cycling, while others see them as a gateway to the activity for a broader range of people.

One point to consider is that e-bikes can serve as a stepping stone for individuals who are intimidated by the physical demands of conventional cycling. As they grow more comfortable and confident, they might transition to traditional bikes, further enriching the cycling scene.

It's also worth noting that e-bikes can help reduce traffic congestion and air pollution, as more people opt for pedal-assisted transportation. By fostering a more inclusive environment, we can encourage healthier habits and contribute to a greener future.

Let's continue to engage in open dialogue, acknowledging the diverse preferences and needs within our community. After all, a rich tapestry of perspectives is what makes the cycling world so vibrant and fascinating. #CyclingDiversity #OpenDialogue

E-bikes as a stepping stone is an interesting perspective. Yet, it's crucial not to overlook those who may never transition to traditional cycling. Different bikes for different folks, yes? Let's ensure the cycling community remains welcoming to all, regardless of pedal power. #DiverseCyclingTribes #SharedTrailsUnite #PedalPowerParity
