This one, I sort of have a problem with. I totally respect that you don't want to hear what I have to say any longer. But what you're suggesting is that I'm forwarding an opinion here that I don't really hold? I was way more than honest about who paid for the trip and the junket nature of it. I did open the door in Part 1 for you to question my morals based on that....
But why is it always "The Coastal Crew only rides e-bikes because they're paid to" or "Aggy only rides e-bikes because he's paid to." Has anybody actually spoken to these people? Would people be surprised to find out that at least one of these people/crews ride them all the time and really like them?
If I had to paraphrase the entirety of part 2 and 3, it would be "hey...you're allowed to hate these things, but there's actually some cool things that might be enabled by them."
Believe me...Specialized didn't pay me for that opinion. A trip to Croatia gave me the information to form that opinion, but wasn't responsible for causing me to lie to myself.
Hate me because you don't like what I said. Maybe hold off on also assuming that I don't actually think the things that you don't like me saying.
