Why you ride

With the amount of self justification going on here lately I can see Farkin becoming RB,e and instead of a seperate section for Ebikes there’ll just be one lonely old section for analogue or acoustic or whatever the fuck they are called bikes. Bit sad in my view. Anyway where’s the that hiding behind the couch emoji.

Just mountain bikes thanks, because the other ones are defined perfectly by the Cambridge Dictionary.

EDIT: Just to be clear, I have no dislike of mopeds (or moped riders) and when I am a really old man, or have a physical handicap (that isn't being fat and/or lazy) I will buy one and I will call it what it is. A moped.

Remember that we had to have our own special section of the forum as the 'Dirty" E-Bikers were making Rotorburn unpure :)

Asked chatgpt to write a poem about mountain biking in the style of Allen Ginsberg. Seems ok.

Riding through the mountains,
With the wind in my hair,
Feeling alive and free,
Like a wild animal out there.

The rocky trails beneath me,
As I conquer each climb,
The rush of adrenaline,
Is like a shot of pure lime.

Nature's beauty surrounds me,
As I speed down the descents,
The thrill of the adventure,
Is where my true self presents.

The mountains call to me,
With a voice so wild and pure,
And on my trusty bike,
I'll forever endure.

So let the wheels spin,
And the pedals fly,
For the love of mountain biking,
Will never die.

The gauntlet was thrown and dost thy challenge was forthwith.

'Chatgpt write a poem about mountain biking in Cromwellian style'

==

Upon the rocky crags I ride
With tire and handlebar in stride
Through winding trails and steep inclines
My heart doth beat in perfect time

With gusts of wind and dirt and dust
I conquer all that I must
For the thrill of speed and nature's grace
Is worth the effort in this race

Through fields of green and rocky terrain
I push my limits and feel no pain
For in the mountains, wild and free
I find my strength and victory

So let the Cromwellian hills be my stage
As I pedal forth in daring rage
For in this sport, I find my bliss
In the mountains, forever I'll persist.

This could almost have been a B-side on Metallica's black album.
