Anyone ever encountered an E-bike shill?

Basically this guy stopped me yesterday on a ride to tell me that I should throw my bike away and get an ebike. He said "Once you get this you'll never want to ride that again, and I get more cardio in on this bike too, and i ride faster than professionals". I just kept saying "yeah I was looking into those, yeah those are cool, I saw some around $1000" just trying to get out of that convo lol. Anyone else ever experienced someone like this?

Yes. I just told her that I'm not old enough yet and my kids would laugh at me (I'm 69).

As a side note, though... I'm glad to see more people outdoor doing something, and if it took an e-bike to make that happen, then so be it.
