Sellers remorse my second mountain bike a cannondale super V. XTR v-brakes titanium ti spokes on ceramic coated mavic rims and the original headshock. Oh what a bike that Big Fat Banana swingarm and fat tubes was awe inspiring.

Sold it to a buddy that trashed it and threw it away . Sad sad face.

Stop blaming e-bikers same excuse hikers have when regular bikers run up on them on trails. Dude first off should not be weaving across the wide road up from , who does that ?

People have to be respectful of all other users on the trails, roads etc. plenty of blame to go around. And in my 30 plus years of riding mountain bikes I've heard it all. It comes down to the individual not what the person is riding.

Seriously.

The message says Rad Bike more fun, less shuttle. Problem with pedal assist is people want this purist thing, like disc brakes on road bikes. Get over it. But most of all E-bike riders do need to be educated on possible conflict with other trail users mtb, hikers, horses etc. just like all mtb. riders.  

E-bikes are going to become a thing we will all have to deal with them, we need to make decisions that are thought through,  not knee-jerk reactions.

I for one am all for e-mtb's.  The problem is the people who like everything else can quickly screw things up. This goes for people on non pedal assist bikes as well. If we go ripping past hikers, joggers, pet walkers doesn't matter what we're riding, it paint's a bad impression.

I agree that there has to be conversation on the topic of access so we do not have a knee jerk reaction like washington state and just outright ban them.

Hate if you want that's your opinion. But e-mtb's are coming

P.S.  Thanks for the article

We're just going to cut all the vegetation out, flatten the hills and  build some more bizillien dollar houses there next week get over it.

Yeah I can vouch for this study, Recently competed in the Gryphon in Squamish and met one couple that came all the way from Sweden just to ride the shore,sea to sky, the island and Golden in the month that they are going to be in Can. Many others from Washington State- Oregon It was awesome to meet so many people from other parts of the world. Let's keep pressure on the politicians to grow our sport.

Mrutter you sir are a closed minded nitwit. I hope the air up there where have your head stuck sufficates you. 

This is the type of attitude that keeps N.A. way behind the rest of the world.

And yes I am one of those that spend 2-3 hours riding around fromme and seymour plus the valley, in a word climbing sucks.

So why do you need a gun like this? Is it the mentality that I've got a bigger button than you? Guess where that will get you, us, civilization. Unfortunately it comes down to multi-billion dollar industries that form and direct governments and our only recourse is to stand up in unity and get companies to take notice and we can only hope it continues so hopefully policies get changed in goverment

I call B.S. on that Cam. I sucked up all the hype of Cushcore. My First go on them at the Squamish enduro race on the first stage I some how broke the valve stem lost air pressure and destroyed my ENVE rim. I have since put them in some ARC 30 rims and they have work well but at 20 psi front and 22 psi rear. Trying to get the tires off after a couple of months was an absolute f'n nightmare. I'm staying with no cushcore on my new carbon rims and carrying tubeless plugs and running 22-24 psi. Have had zero issues.
