Well, maybe e-bikes are the new triple. Seeing a surprising number around downtown Coeur d'Alene.

I can sort of see the argument that roadie single bikes needing a triple are just not cool these days. E-bikes aren't exactly the hipster thing to do either (pref to single speeds), but then riding with earbuds they can't hear me mutter derogatory comments as we skinny past.

Can't be bothered to think about business models these days. My mind is badly fragmented with e-trash and gizmo noise like how a Shoka might actually make any money. I'd estimate a total sales volume of about 5 worldwide.

Forget the triples they say. What this world really needs is a Strava Toilet category.
