@ned@antlerboy You are totally right. This article misses a lot of caveats WRT people who actually cycle a lot. But, I think it’s meant to counter the attitude I get about my e-bike that it is somehow “cheating”. When I’ve taken it in public to events, woman* are much more interested and curious and see the advantage while men* are more concerned it’s a cheat.
But average non cycler, yes may go farther/longer on an ebike than regular cycle.
