No. They are not. But the DBs that use disabled people's rights as a prop to
advance their own desire for throttle-twisting are a bunch of lazy vulturous
hacks. There still has been NO explanation from the e-bike advocates as to how
to mitigate trail damage and reduce trail conflict. Throttle-twisters blasting
up descent-trails, and heavier bikes laid into berms and ruts….we all know
what this amounts to, and the people most focused on getting more speed and
more laps on ebikes are NOT the ones out there building, maintaining, and
contributing to trail advocacy.
Unfortunately, there is no way to distinguish people that want to ride e-bikes
because they're too lazy to pedal, from those that actually need assistance to
participate in the sport. And the former will shamelessly use the latter to
advance their own selfish and lazy interests.
