To My Fellow Cyclists: Quit the E-Bike Hate [Bicycling.com]

[Jeremy McCreary]

I do not (and would not) cycle in order to "endure difficulty" or to "suffer."

Showed this to my trainer, Mistress Bikeseat. She's VERY disappointed in you.

You should try several other mistresses! One of them might please you better!

Wife won't let me have a mistress with my pleasure as her goal, but there are times when I'm sure she'd be happy to fund the other kind.

Let's be honest here. It's only men who get upset about ebikes.

That's not true. Not too long ago I was on a date with a so called avid cyclist, and she just kept saying that I was cheating. But I said I've lost an additional 10 pounds since adding a motor because I can now ride longer and hills don't wipe out my bad knee anymore... But she just kept repeating.. "yeah, but you're cheating"
So I finally replied... "that may be so, but you're the one with the fat ass"

Yep, I often hear the word “cheating” thrown around when I mention e-bikes among my peeps. And I often tell them that I learned to add, subtract, multiply, and divide using an abacus, but also cheated, eventually, by switching to a calculator.
