To clarify, it wasn't a joke. A bit flippant, perhaps, but I am totally serious - 60 plus, well connected ebike riders are great allies for advocacy. I've seen a handful of the folks I'm referring to actually engage in trail advocacy, with meaningful impact.
There's one couple who got their neighbour, a local politician who would never in a million years be into bikes and trail expansion, to show up to the discussion table because they were a demographic he actually wanted to listen to.
