âŚand I learned a few things.
All trails should simply be a flow line down a hill with an accessory climb route attached to it. The mere thought that they may have to pedal along a ridge line and be forced to enjoy scenery or maintain a cadence is pure torture for them.
Any obstacle that isnât on a downhill = poor trail maintenance.
Technical rocky climbs are âbad trail designâ and too slow.
Having to pick the bike up is deserving of some positive reinforcement and recognition for the hard work they just did to get over a tree.
Cardiovascular fitness can be replaced easily with a few clicks of a button as long as the ride doesnât extend beyond 3 hours (because who would ever want to be in the woods longer than 3 hours)
I learned so much that Iâm planning to purchase a hover-round to replace walking, as walking can be quite slow and cumbersome. Anyone who doesnât have a hover-round secretly wants one, but theyâre too poor to buy one.
Yes, but the person you responded to said that they still do work, not that they donât do any work.
My mid-drive Bosch (a commuter, but still) now has adaptive riding modes. If Iâm not pushing hard, it wonât push hard. I can turn it to max assist mode if I want, but the rest of the modes will slow right down if I stop putting in the effort.
I donât get nearly as much exertion as I do on my normal bike, obviously, but it still is exercise.
I think itâs important to note that a significant number of disabilities you arenât going to be able to see. You canât see the fact that I could barely eat/get out of bed for two months when my autoimmune disease went balls to the wall, you just see a skinny gal riding along on an e-bike.
Going from my e-bike commuter to my gravel bike is always a humbling experience lmao
I call my regular bike my meat powered bike

My e-bike is 52lbs đ and if youâre pedaling without any assist, the motor adds drag. Thatâs a great way to really work for it lmao.
