I used to be strictly materialist and atheist. Now I’m pretty spiritual. Don’t necessarily follow a religion and don’t support bigotry but yeah, I’m fairly spiritual now. This is a recent development and I never thought I’d be here like 5 years ago.

    That’s great! I used to think electric bikes were cheating. Then I also bought one. I still remember going for the test ride. The bike I picked had a torque sensor so it would adjust the electric assist based on how hard you pushed (some bike don’t match force, they just turn the motor on and off when the pedals rotate). I was riding along on the road near the bike shop and the assist was so smooth I thought I was under my own power until I looked down and saw I was riding at 27mph! Last summer I rode 24 miles to the city center once or twice a week. I don’t think I would have done that on a traditional bike. My fitness has benefitted significantly even with the bike doing some of the work.
