Gun violence and gun mortality are not equivalent.
Gun mortality can include suicide, justified and accidental shootings as well. To put the figures in perspective, Chicago which has strict gun control laws had 2,471 victims of gun violence just this year and the year is not even out...
I just got a 2021 MX S and I can’t imagine a better bike. I’m even beginning to appreciate the EP8 as much as the vaunted Bosch series 4 that I had on my 2021 Trek.
My emtb is definitely making me fitter:
An EMTB got me on a bicycle,
It is keeping me on a bicycle
I no longer get concerned if a ride segment has many hills

Also mountain bikes especially those with grippier...
Your statement is correct but actually validates my point. The rate of gun violence is so great in US states and cities with the most stringent gun laws that it skews the total rate of gun violence for the country overall.

I don’t know of any state where it’s legal to shoot someone for stealing your stuff such as your bike, car etc.
The hypothetical scenario you outline is highly flawed. A criminal is not going to care about the laws regarding pepper spray or any other weapon for that matter. Cities in...
I recently picked up a Santa Cruz Heckler MX S and its the nicest bike I’ve had the pleasure of riding. I’ve gone from never riding to riding 20 miles a day within a couple of weeks. I love this sport!
You’re not allowed to shoot someone for trying to take your stuff in the US.
Unfortunately, someone attempting to take your stuff can often result in violence against you. Being able to protect yourself and your loved ones from violence that could result in maming or death should be an...
I‘m new to the world of MTB / EMTBs and as you know supply has been very limited. My first foray into bikes was a Trek Powerfly but is was an XS frame and felt really small after the first week. That Gen 4 Bosch motor was killer though. My LBS allowed me to trade the Trek in for the SC...
