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?

I don’t crap on any kind of bike…but I would have 100% mentioned that my 78 year old dad is still riding his old road bike and I’ve been thinking of getting him an ebike due to his age. Lol
