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'd hate to see them in TdF etc. Bike racing is chaotic enough as is, there would be more accusations of cheating than there already are. Also, I love the physicality of a bike race, the struggles up a mountainside would not be the same when battery assisted!
