This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.I have become a biker. Not a motorcyclist, not a dirt-biker but an e-biker. I still pedal my bicycle, and sometimes I have to stand to pedal up a hill in first gear but a battery gives my pedals a boost. As a result, I can bike farther and up steeper terrain than was ever within my reach.
From the moment I brought it home until I stored my bike for the winter, I cycled 3,000 kilometres. As bike purists point out, I’m not putting the same effort into pedalling as they do. True. But I’m biking a whole heck of a lot more than I would otherwise. I can bike with my husband for 60 km, sometimes just noodling around our neighbourhood. I can tackle hills. Of course, single-file biking is about as social as skiing, but we’re still sharing an experience.
I guess many of us, all the time, quietly judge other people’s taste in clothes, music and coffee, how they spend their money and how they spend each day. Other folks judge others’ activity style or exertion. You can find all sorts of online comments from regular cyclists who heap scorn on e-bikers. Sure, anyone who moves around on their own steam deserves kudos for impressive fitness and discipline.
What can we make fun of these days?
I’m totally with you. I ride both an android and an ebike and like them both for different reasons.
Nothing wrong with an e-bike, you’re still getting outside and being active. People have the perception they’re electric motorbikes, not true, you still have to pedal and work.

Munk Debate: Can we stop people from dying of old age?David Sinclair and Joanna Masel debate whether aging is a reversible disease Seriously, exactly how uneducated are the people of these debates? Human population on this planet is growing faster than any virus or bacteria known to man, and they want to stop people from dying altogether? There are no words for that level of stupid. No. Climate change. The real question is -- 'Should we stop people from dying of old age?' Do we as a species have the right?

Panel suggests WHO should have more power to stop pandemicsA panel of independent experts who reviewed the World Health Organization's response to the coronavirus pandemic says the U.N. health agency should be granted 'guaranteed rights of access' in countries to investigate emerging outbreaks, a contentious idea that would give it more powers and require member states to give up some of theirs. Yeah WHO is a joke and protected China's economy instead of the world's health. Absolutely not ! Insight in needed first ! What a useless Organization all they should be doing is using the funds provided for research and production of vaccine banks for known threats ! I’ll be dammed if any global entity has any say in our Canada ! Mm Unesco !! The only organization more incompetent than the Canadian government. Sure, let’s give them the reigns
