Or just "going for a bike ride" like we did as kids, not "going cycling".
I'm not knocking those that ride ebikes, to each their own. Variety is the spice of life.
Who knows having afib now I may have one some day if I could ever afford one.
I always thought that e-bikes would have more Friction to overcome on flat terrain when you'd want to peddle.
