This week Lori and Patrick welcome Tom Boss, the Executive Director for the Redwood Trails Alliance, a mountain bike advocacy organization based in Sonoma County, California.

This week is the second half of Lori and Patrick's two-parter on ebikes. This week they look at "out-of-class" ebikes and some of the problems they pose as well as California's response to them, in addition to a class-action lawsuit filed against ebike maker Super73.
