I don’t think many people realize that you can buy a 40lb e-bike for $1300 now (without subsidies) and the impact it has on your time spent outdoors is immediate.

My wife looks forward to weekend rides now where before she would grumble at the mere suggestion of getting on a bike.

I still ride my “manual” single speed. But it’s a fun challenge to keep up with her.
