When you have a cultural that breaks laws regularly, is it really a shock when this many attempt to cheat

Something about all those that can run, jump, and swim...

I am participating in a 5K that also has a (concurrent) triathlon attached to it this sunday. It's hilarious how seriously the triathlon folks take themselves. They are sort of like a cultural mix of vegan crossfitter EV cyclists.

Great entertainment.

Perfect description. To be fair, seriously taking on a triathlon will consume you.

Triathlon through the Darian Gap would be worth watching...

wtf is an EV cyclist, is that really a thing? Iif so, why be even remotely proud about it?

Ok EV-owner, not an EV cyclist. Though my typo/your question made me chuckle. I could see some group of EV drivers wanting a model where they could brag about helping to recharge it heading down the road by peddling.

There is a rather large guy in my neighborhood that "exercises" on one of those, can't say I've ever seen him peddle.

vegan + crossfitter + EV + cyclists

Folks that are any of these, will ALWAYS let you know they are one of these

There are electric bikes for sure. I do the long endurance rides like MS150 and Hotter N Hell 100 and there are people on them every time. To be honest it's a bit annoying to see someone that clearly doesn't cycle go blowing by with minimal effort.

I'll give the triathlon people some rope on this. As someone who competed in a marathon that was being run concurrently with a 5k and 1/2 marathon, I'd be pissed if someone cheated like that. These things consume your life with training. I've never done a triathlon but I can't even imagine. Training for a marathon was bad enough.
