Have you ridden for a cheeky overnighter or a 3 year global trek? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.
Have you got panniers, bikepacking bags or just a backpack with the essentials? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.
Have you got the latest in carbon engineering or your dads old 10 speed from the 70's? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.

The Landes is the flat forest region in the far southwest of France. Very easy riding and car traffic is sparse, even in summer. This is on the EuroVelo 3 (AKA the Pilgrim Route) just south of Langon, where the path follows a disaffected railway line for about 20 km. Absolutely ideal conditions for cycling.
Living the life. No worries - I'm looking at doing most of the EuroVelo 13 myself, and I'm way too old and my knee is way to messed up to not see e-bikes as the only way I'll still be able to make that trip.
Funny enough, I haven't seen much of the hate e-bikes get after moving to Europe. I attribute that to generally better bike infrastructure, reasonable regulations and generally less hateful propaganda.
