Oh, I'm definitely familiar with M. Vand. . . no wait, that's too obvious. We'll just call him Mike V. Legendary whackadoodle.
I haven't read any of his rants lately. Does he have any ebike specific hatred, or just for MTBs in general?
This post seems a little sensationalistic to me. I'm in the Bay Area and I see tons of eMTBs on the trails. Subjectively seems like nearly half the bikes I come across now, though I haven't tracked it. I think the issue is that the bay area is anti-MTB, not just eMTB, and any fun trails are...
