A friend just bought a new bike with DI2 and I feel like someone has just told me that there is no Santa Clause. I realize that I'm probably over reacting in most people's eyes but the purist in me objects strongly to a motor on a bike. I get it. It's slick, it's the new thing, it's what the pros are using and Shimano has done a hell of a job with it's marketing. But it's still a motor. It still replaces some of the mechanical effort of the rider to make the bike perform and I'm not OK with that. I'm really not.

Go ahead and put a motor on your bike, but don't pretend it's the same as a fully human propelled bike, because it's not.

What is the world coming to.

Rant over, thank you for listening.
