oceaniceternityI was walking around and then walked myself into a library read some old bike magazines and was struck by how similar a lot of ebikes are to early motorcycles.It makes sense: ebikes are filling the void of dirt cheap personal transport. Reliable transport is needed when public transport is unreliable and takes forever.Yet the process for getting a license for a car (at least in NZ and likely Australia too) is a long process with increasingly stringent exams. Cars are also increasing in price. Both due to the cost of living, and increasing premiumisation. Cars: even a cheap shit box for a minimum wage worker represent a significant investment of capital. Both time to aquire a license, and to buy a vehicle.Motorcycles could arguably fill that void. Except the training requirements are extensive and expensive in order to gain a license. Road registration is also expensive.Then there's the humble bicycle. No license requirements, no registration requirements, no real regulation requirements like a motorcycle has. Efficient. Dirt cheap even compared to a motorcycle (I paid nzd $2,000 for my motorcycle, while a decent second hand bicycle costs just a couple of hundred dollars, with much less intensive maintenance requirements). Except they are sweaty, painful (good pain, but exercise nonetheless) and slow.Enter the ebike. The wild fucking west. Ranging from a motor quite literally bolted onto a bicycle to things that look like a motorcycle with pedals bolted on. No license requirements. No regulatory requirements. Just... As an American friend might say FREEDOM.I see online about how they ought to be regulated like motorcycles, how they are unfit for cycle paths (to which I say cycle paths are woefully designed for bicycle traffic: a good cyclist on a good bike can keep up with an ebike, and a mediocre one sure as hell can draft one) how they are good for exercise...But I don't hear much about the economic argument. How the everliving fuck is a broke fucker meant to get to work in this day and age? It's not like cars are cheap, or buses are good. I really think that ebikes ought to stay exactly where they are: the wild West of transport.<a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/ebikes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ebikes</a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/motorcycle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#motorcycle</a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/ebike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ebike</a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/commuting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#commuting</a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/cycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cycling</a>

Corgi DadOk. Been quiet for a few days, which means, I went on another EPIC ride!This time was Mount Greylock, the highest mountain in Massachusetts. In a century+ ride (108 miles), and 12000 ft elevation gain in total.It was a brutal brutal ride. And I had a really bad day. Got a stomach bug or food poisoning on the day before, and the symptoms persisted on the morning of the ride, with one of the worst nights of sleep I had lately. My buddy encouraged me to try it, since it is a 2.5 hour drive from Boston. So I started. Legs felt like bricks. I set into my own pace so it felt better. But I almost gave up after breathing too hard and going too deep on a 20+% hill. I decided to keep going. And I successfully climbed up Mount Greylock, survived the grueling 10-20%, 3.5 miles long hill at mile 90, and finished the ride without any regrets. Though everything hurts. And I wouldn't put anyone else through this.<a href="https://c7.io/tags/biketoot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#biketoot</a> <a href="https://c7.io/tags/EpicBikeRides" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#EpicBikeRides</a> <a href="https://c7.io/tags/cycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cycling</a> <a href="https://c7.io/tags/MountGreylock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MountGreylock</a> <a href="https://c7.io/tags/GreylockCentury" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GreylockCentury</a> <a href="https://c7.io/tags/CenturyRide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CenturyRide</a> <a href="https://c7.io/tags/RoadCycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RoadCycling</a> <a href="https://c7.io/tags/climbing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#climbing</a> <a href="https://c7.io/tags/cyclist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cyclist</a> <a href="https://c7.io/tags/challenge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#challenge</a> <a href="https://c7.io/tags/CyclingChallenge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CyclingChallenge</a> <a href="https://c7.io/tags/Massachusetts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Massachusetts</a>
