A friend and I did the Seattle to Portland ride this past weekend (205 miles in either one or two days), and we were both surprised to see a number of riders on electric bikes.
I haven’t done many large cycling events since the rise in popularity of electric bikes. When I did large-scale rides like STP pre-COVID, everybody would have been on a regular, human-powered bike. So seeing powered bikes on a “cycling” event struck us as a little strange. What is everyone’s experience with this? I’ll admit I am a little skeptical about combining electric- and human-powered bikes in the same event, but that’s probably a reflection of my cycling history. The events I usually ride, which are mostly RUSA-sanctioned randonneuring, would definitely not allow any kind of powered bike. What do YOU think? Should electric bikes be allowed on events like RAGBRAI, STP, centuries, etc.? What limits would you impose, if any? Or should they have their own events? Interested to hear what the group thinks. --Eric Norris campyonly...@me.com Insta: @CampyOnlyGuy YouTube: YouTube.com/CampyOnlyGuy -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
