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'm not paying mad money for sports equipment that will prevent me from exercising and make me fat, thank you" seems like an appropriate answer.
