One of the best things technology advancement have done for cyclists is bringing electric bikes into the mix in order to make biking a lot more easier and convenient for them. Have you fully embraced using e-bikes or still going on with using the orthodox bike?

Do you think electric bikes are overhyped or they are the real game changer when it comes to cycling?
 
I think they're a game changer.

I see more older people on e-bikes than I ever have seen on regular ones. People are living longer because of them. I'm an advocate of them as long as they're class 3 or lower. The e-motorcycles are IMO not bicycles.

Lmao. Anyone who considers e-motorcycles as bicycles is a big time joker.

Overall, I think you're right about the importance e-bikes have brought to cycling culture. It have enabled so many people to get into cycling which is good for their health.
 
I've seen people in their 80s and 90s riding them. And they look and feel younger. I hope I can do that when I'm that age.
Yes of course, it's something that you can easily do because if you can get into cycling the way you do now, using e-bikes will be so much easier for you when you get older.
