Bikes 🚲

I'm long electric cycling. 

Bikes are a technology, electric ones are better.

Tour De France and others would be 10x more interesting with electric bikes and constraints like only battery per race and a weight limit.

Tradeoffs and strategy become fascinating while improving the tech. Athletes still have to athlete.

What are my fellow cyclist thinking of this idea?

i have no specific beef with e-bikes but suggesting it’s a drop in replacement for anything bike related like racing seems. weird? “lets use motorcycles in the tdf! that’s progress!” just doesn’t click for me.
