Razors Edge ★ Posted July 2, 2019 Share #1 Posted July 2, 2019 ...is this fun video of a dude's mom racing his coworker. The mom seems very genuine and quite a reasonable cyclist. @Dottie and @late might be ready for a little Forum Showdown! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
late Posted July 2, 2019 Share #2 Posted July 2, 2019 Unless I defeat the speed limiter, I'm stuck below 20mph. Which means I have an advantage going uphill or down. But on the flat, I'm toast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I encounter plenty of stopping points on a ride, the place I get dropped is at each restart. Those folks on ebikes pull away quite quickly, and I have to spool up to get back to them.

No doubt I have advantages, but I am sure you can imagine as easily as I can, how fast I would get dropped off the back of a group ride. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. I ride my bicycles like I play my video games. Solo campaigns and at my own speed. Everyone can jam it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
