Whether we like them or not, they will occur. The general population is aging.
And that market is huge. The manufacturers will do this whether or not us high
or low horses agree. They will let us duke it out in the trees. But as all
trail associations know… you increase Ease of Accessibility, and you increase
Trail Usage, which thus impacts ultimate wear and tear. There needs to be a
Trail Tax, I hate to call it that, but at point of purchase of an e-assisted
mtn bike… the bike store has to charge $50 or something to donate to the local
trail association.
