Hello fellow cyclists; I used to be on many forums like this back in the day when I was competing in triathlons and doing things like the Surrey Rumble, now I'm just a humble cyclist using my bike to get around London, as it is by far the quickest and most reliable way to get around town. Plus the new global warming climate makes it more pleasant and dry. Curious to know what the purists make of e-bikes; for or against?

Welcome.
Recently spent two weeks at our son's home in Belgium.
Most people ride bikes for transport there. It looked like about 90%were on ebikes.
I bought one for my 80th birthday but I find my Thorn Mercury a more comfortable ride and the ebike only comes out for hilly or long club rides.

As to ebikes, each to there own.
Not for me.
