If we are honest and say, 'Hey, some of our regular writers went to a motorcycle event and we know a lot of you appreciate anything on two wheels so we wanted to share!'
Sure, no issue there.
My issue is turning bicycles into motor driven sport. It isn't that it's not fun, it isn't that it's not as 'fit' it's only about diametrically different sports. Claim these are motorcycles and I literally don't have an issue. But this legal lie of it being 'human powered recreation' is absurd. And it's influencing the sport in negative ways that bring us ALL closer to losing access due to them just being low-powered motorcycles with foot (and in many cases hand) operated throttles.
