Welcome to the Pink Bike podcast. We're back again for some more exciting talking.

Got Dario here and Matt and I'm Mike Casmer and we're going to chat about the things that happen in the news.

Plus our dreams, hopes and aspirations for mountain bikes of the future.

Some of those mountain bikes with motors, so fair warning.

I don't like the word trigger warning, but we'll just say an electric warning or something. We might be talking about e-bikes in this podcast, so I don't know how you'll skip. Only as part of a broader conversation, but we will say other words. Even that is inflammatory to people. Yeah, so just be warned. It's going to be a good one, though.

Like dog shit.

And then lo and behold, like fixed some stuff on the secondary drive train,

broke in the gearbox, and got used to the experience.

And I'm happier now.

So does it still make you happy when you get on a regular bike?

Are you still like, oh, this is nice?

I feel like it is easier still, yes.

Like, it's not profound necessarily as it was initially.

Like, I'd go for a ride on the cabins, and the next day I'd ride anything, and it felt like,

oh, my God, this is crazy.

But, yeah, there's still a difference.

Like, yesterday I rode my frameworks the day before I'd ridden the cabins,

and it was, like, noticeable still.
