@trinsec HEY! I just got a cool Dutch e-bike and I wanted you to be the first person I told (aside from my wife who okayed the purchase, and my mom who kept me on the phone while I drove out to pick it up...but they don't count lmao). ITS SO NICE, and now I'm even more jealous of your country. If you have any tips or tricks for your fancy Nederlander bikes, please lemme know, otherwise if this was weird, you can also tell me that and I'll stop π
@trinsec Mine is also Gazelle! I only got the electronic version because I live pretty far from work and there are some icky hills and times when I'll have to keep up with cars because 'Murica...hence the jealousy π
@johnabs How far is 'pretty far'?
@trinsec A few miles, probably not much by your standards, but if you've never biked in the Midwest US, you may not know those few miles tend to be harrowing π
@johnabs I biked in Belgium, didn't like it much there either, heh. Not in the least because of all those damn steep hills. π
@trinsec Good to know: don't go to Belgium...except maybe for the waffles? π
We have a few of those steep hills here in central pIndiana, but not nearly as bad as certain places around the States.
@johnabs ... lol? :)
I don't have an ebike (yet), I don't bike far enough to justify it. ;) My bike is a normal Gazelle bike (Dutch brand) that I'm using for like 10 years now. π
I have 3 other bikes that I have to fix up a bit before I can use them too. None are ebikes. π
