Who cares what someone with an e-cycle does. Why does it affect YOU? Are you that butthurt that someone finished more fresh that you or is going to lie about how much exercise they do that you're going to be prejudiced against what they're doing? Do you REALLY think someone with an e-cycle (with pedal assist) who just rode a century is going to be FRESH? You could make the exact same argument for riding an extremely light aero bike vs. a steel classic. If the people rode at the same pace, did the person with the aero bike REALLY ride a century? Does the person with the heavy classic bike have the right to complain that the light bike owner's century wasn't as hard as THEIR century?
What are they... 5 years old?
I kind of want to show up to one of your group rides with a hidden electric assist just to piss you off for how fresh I am and how it looks like I'm not working hard at all. You care far too much about how OTHER people exercise.
