As far as the ageist part goes, are we going to deny that cyclist get slower with age?

Also, check the olympic records for a reality check on men vs. women is physical pursuits.

I was recently on a charity ride and an older gentleman was on an ebike and it was great, it got him back outside and let him participate in an activity that he really enjoyed.

My girlfriend would really like an electric bicycle so that she could keep up on some weekend rides.

get over it people.

I feel like I am taking crazy pills!!!!!
"Outrage machine" is code for "I am not offended, so anyone who is is wrong."

It was picture of a young woman. Younger than all of us, I'm sure. I've been dropped by older.
