It says a lot about what the emtb community thinks about the illogical and all too prevalent "e" hate that the post was so readily believed! But the practicality of it all started to become ridiculous. Running a 13 Amp supply 3 miles through the woods? Bikers carrying a heavy charger with them so that they could plug in and wait for an hour in the middle of the woods? We KNOW this, but we bought into the hate and suspended disbelief for just long enough. It was a good spoof.
I didn't fall for it of course! I had posted one of my own today so I was on the look-out. At any other time of year, it might have had me going for a minute.
