A little helping hand (don't try this at home, kids)

[98 SNAKE EATER]

After riding about 16 miles out to Tobay beach, we stuffed our faces at a food truck and didn't have the energy to pedal back, so I let the X3 do most of the work for the both of us

So the lesson here is don’t eat so much? Or ride more before eating?

That's one of the advantages of owning an E-bike. I used to have to watch what I ate or drank when out on my conventional bike. Not so much anymore.

Not sure what is about food trucks, but for whatever reason the food tastes better. Or maybe since we eat it outside with bugs, dust, and something other than Michelin 3-start dining ambience we have lower expectations.

Thanks for the object lesson!

San Diego is known for its food trucks. So high on our future ride list: Take the ebikes to downtown SD by train, ride to some of the better-known trucks, then hop the Coronado Island ferry for a several-hour tour.

Of course, "food trucks in moderation" is kind of an oxymoron. But now I know not to worry: Ebikes to the rescue!

Come to think of it, acute FTI (food truck incapacitation) makes a pretty compelling case for throttle backup.

for me I eat right so I can ride more not less.
