Rio Tinto Stadium Ride — Go Real Salt Lake!!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zm9yMBT5eTw
I take a ride around the Real Salt Lake stadium, home of RSL in the American MLS. I’m riding one of my favorites, my Juiced Bikes Scorpion. I got lucky and caught the empty stadium on a sunny day! After that, I head down to the freeway to give you the full experience. This is some legit urban riding, mixed together with a slow ride around a peaceful, empty stadium. Fun to take my ebike out for a ride on a sunny day.
I’m lucky I have balance and can walk, so I can still enjoy devices like this. It’s a big step down from the motorcycles I rode for 50 years. But in other ways, it’s not a step down. I can’t go as fast or as far, but it’s still exciting, and now I have full access to my immediate world. I can ride on roads, trails, dirt, sidewalks and even around the stadium. I can go farther and faster than my mobility scooters.
People like to tease me when I’m riding my ebike with my wife while she rides a pedal bike. They say I’m “cheating.” I think there are a fair number of people who view ebikes as cheating, but I don’t. I feel more of FINALLY. I started with a lead-acid battery ebike. Lithium batteries have opened the door to capabilities that I’ve wanted, but couldn’t get previously.
That being said, the battery ran out before the end of my ride. Pedaling that 100 lb. bike was not cheating. Go RSL!!
