Of any kind. Commuting, road biking, touring, mountain biking etc.

Been a cyclist of various types for 20 years now. Never seems to be non-controversial. Even among other cyclists… many hate other types of cyclists. And now there is a lot of specific e-bike hate/controversy.

I don’t get it man. What do you think?

IME assholes are assholes regardless of being on a bike or not.

    Less than 3 min in and he’s nailed the answer to OP and the reason cycling in USA sucks. The idiots who think they can keep up with and survive a bit from a 200 horsepower 2 ton block of steel.

        Well, he has a point, genitals don’t like being crushed.

        But the seat design he loves causes incontinence and ED in men so I rather suspect he’s not qualified in any way.

        This fucking book is like a Reddit wiki, only somehow worse than most I’ve come across. Nearly 1000 pages gatekeeping cycling.

        Also he’s arguably responsible for thousands of deaths, including one in my family and I’m amazed I haven’t heard of this guy before. He’s just about as effective as Thomas Midgely!
