And you're probably one of the more committed and conscientious riders out there.
I'm not suggesting you feel guilty about it. I just don't favor promoting the idea that ebikes are great for getting out in bad weather, when we may otherwise let the trails rest.
The problem with ebikes is not ebikes. It is whether or not we promote responsible usage....,like not riding up downhills, and being careful as we pass other riders. This message has been somewhat lost on the primary promoters of the product, leaving people to argue about it, instead of go directly to talking about responsible integration.
