A joking editorial by Davide Finetto in response to the article 'Reflections on the E-Bike world, the solution or the 'evil'?'by Mauro Cottone about the E-Bike world.
Friedrichshafen all the insiders and not only have noticed this fact, that is, an abundance of fat Fat Bikes and a multitude of emerging and non-emerging brands dedicated to e-bikes, pedal assisted bikes (useful to mark this fact otherwise they would be mopeds) . In the last editorial, Mauro Cottone clearly explained the use that can be made of an e bike showing that one should not get caught up in easy criticism but, on the contrary, asserting that this bike is the future because it allows you to tackle mileage in your twenties without having to resort to ski lifts or vans.
For those with good driving technique, it allows you to reach the top of the most technical trails even with little training (without staying away for a day) while beginners can enjoy a ride cycled in the high mountains, which would otherwise be impossible without help. external. So the e-bike is a real viagra ... but woe to abuse it! To my friend Mauro (ed, Cottone) he is doing strange effects since he uses it (ah no, he uses it!) Also to go to breakfast at the bar and friends are abandoning him due to the fact that it also puts Elite in difficulty. level.
Roberto (ed, Diani), on the other hand, has clear ideas but has yet to make one all for him: in his dreams there is a beautiful e bike with 180mm travel and he does not hide it, I can already see him doing 8-hour itineraries with 3500m of elevation gain. I still hold on to my dear muscle pedal bikes, the electric bike I see entering the scene during the typical midlife crisis when certain sporting feats begin to become unattainable and a nice 250w motor can come in handy. Know that once we enter this tunnel we will hardly get out ...
“This is your last chance, if you give up you won't get any more. Blue pill, end of story: tomorrow you will wake up with a nice e bike and your friends will look at you wrong even though you will run far and wide having fun. Red pill, stay in reality as you have always done, you will earn everything with your own legs and you will be accepted all over the world. I'm offering you only the truth, remember that. Nothing more."
