The video footage you see is a pretty loose formation just to teach people how to ride in a group. In the more advanced groups you need to get really close together; so people are expected to ride with drop bars.<br /><br />There does seem to be a e-bike club in the nearby town, but it seems to consist mainly of the scooter-style e-bikes. It also seems to consist mainly of the kind of rider who just never pedals. Probably not your cup of tea!<br /><br />I know Ottawa has a really big club, the OBC. They might have an e-bike division? I know they forbid kickstands in their group rides though (kickstand falls off during a group ride, can be lethal).<br /><br />If not them, maybe KNBC (Kanata Nepean Bicycle Club)? Apparently during their tours you don't have to be close enough to draft, so they might be cool touring around with you.<br /><br />Barring that, I don't see a lot in your area. You could always start a club, but it means putting a lot of time & effort in.BigRedClydesdalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07597167088393756735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8496747835053798954.post-22323721756022221372015-09-01T13:52:41.937-04:002015-09-01T13:52:41.937-04:00Nice time laps of peoples bottoms.

I don't think my kind of bike would be frowned on, by the "purist".Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03573585436337061120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8496747835053798954.post-88988260184712961142015-08-28T15:20:39.084-04:002015-08-28T15:20:39.084-04:00Welcome fellow junkie! :DWelcome fellow junkie! :DBigRedClydesdalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07597167088393756735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8496747835053798954.post-84407086099792720922015-08-28T10:03:39.279-04:002015-08-28T10:03:39.279-04:00Group rides are awesome!
