I take pride in being self sufficient and have stripped bikes down to the frame and rebuild them one component at a time. Then I got old and purchased an e bike with all kinds of technology that’s not in my wheelhouse. The bike is tricked out with a mid drive motor, a belt drive, an electronically controlled internal hub gear system, tires with built in flat protection, an on board computer system, and all sorts of other stuff that isn’t found on a traditional bike. I love riding the new bike, but I feel somewhat dependent on a good bike shop to keep the thing in tip top running condition. Ergggg!
