When my friends at Ibis Cycles found out about my ME/CFS diagnosis, they offered to loan me a brand new Ibis Oso eBike to help with my recovery. I am extremely grateful to the team at Ibis for their generosity and kindness to allow me to be able to be pedaling sooner than expected. Learn more about the bike here: bit.ly/46PCX0P
I'm not out of the woods yet, it's been a lot of ups and downs, but my soul needed this. There's nothing quite like pedaling a bike in nature, even if it requires a motor to get me through. Grateful is a massive understatement. I'm so glad to be alive and able to have experienced this day with my wife, ‪@dustybettymtb‬

Thanks for the love and support everyone. I'm not out of the woods yet, but I'm extremely grateful for all the support and kindness. Unfortunately this ride wiped me out for quite a while, but the emotional therapy was so worth it. I am beyond grateful for ibis for producing this tool to help me in my recovery.

@mathieusynnott8915 Год назад

Could you tell us how bad is your MECFS ? Me i cant bike more than 1 km. Im curious if a ebike would let me do enough to buy one. And what trigger yours?

@asbjrnkristiansen429 Год назад

Finally, I've been waiting and hoping for this to drop. So wonderful to see you hit the trails again, Steve, even if it is on an e-mtb. I don't know if this translates correctly, but I guess when the need is great, even the Devil eats flies 😋 Jokes aside, I l-o-v-e Ibis for putting up the resources that lets you get out there in trying times. There just arn't enough words to describe the healing force of spending time outside in nature, you know, feeling the wind on your face and enjoying the immense feeling of freedom from something as simple as a bike ride. It's powerful, and because ME also can be hard on your mental health, it's key to keep riding and doing things that make you happy to prevent your condition from dragging your mind into a black hole. I wouldn't be surprised if a tear ran down your face on that ride, and not just from the wind :-) Godspeed on your recovery, Steve, hang in there and beat this sh*t 🤜🤛

I’m usually not in the e-bike corner, but in these types of cases I can get behind them. God bless you and your family Steve, keep enjoying life.

@@mathieusynnott8915 a full Ebike is normally 4 times your input so it should allow you to do 4km. I also have ME my triggers are physical or emotional stress, emotions are the worst. I also have a Ebike and I am grateful to have one too🙂

We turned 40 and after a few back surgeries and other health issues we sold all the analog bikes and got full sus ebikes. Just fun to be out there. RU-vid MTB'ers have a tendency to make you think that every ride has to XTREME!, but enjoying the location and friendship is what it's all about.

@navsnipe Год назад

Steve, it's so great to see you on the bike again and to be able to ride with your wife. Very cool of Ibis to set you up with the ebike. Positivity and activity are some of the most important aspects to recovery. I am 57 and recovering from vestibular neuritis, three months into recovery. I have only been on my bike once since the onset. Honestly, I had tears of joy for you, while watching this video. Sending more positive thoughts your way!

Wishing you the best in your recovery. This ebike has been a wonderful recovery tool for me.

@johnnydoe66 Год назад

Glad you're out riding! My 74 yr old friend just purchased a road E-bike recently. He doesn't ride mtn bikes, but he loves the road. He started cycling 8 yrs ago and 4 yrs ago started having health issues that affected his breathing. He went from doing 100+ miles down to barely 30. We went out Saturday, and he was able to do a very hilly 50 miler. It was awesome to see him actually enjoying the ride and smiling. I had bought him and another friend a stem cap with the words, "Enjoy the Ride." Something we all need to do, forget the mileage, speed, averages, or elevations. Get back to what riding was when we were all kids. I am still standing in Faith with you and the family for complete recovery.

Take care of your mental health; it’s hugely impactful of your physical health. Best Ezra ❤

I’ve been sidelined since March with a knee injury and the following surgery. It’s those Zen moments and just getting lost in the woods on my bike that I miss the most. They have such a positive influence on my mental health. I’ve been a big fan of the channel since early on. Sending healing vibes and hoping that you can get out more and more and back to hardtail before you know it.

I have a upcoming surgery and will be down for awhile. I love regular MTB and ride a lot. I bought a EMTB a few months ago so I could get a extra day or two of riding in. The EMTB will be awesome after not riding for a couple of weeks. I am not ready to give up my MTB. But the EMTB is a lot of fun and allows for a epic big day once a week.

Awesome! Those first rides out there when you haven’t been riding are super hard even when you aren’t battling other challenges. I learned so much from you these last 3 years. Developed a love for riding modern hardtails. Strangely had a stroke at 57, but the joy of riding that I learned from you has helped in my recovery. Be patient, I think the turtle wins the race not the hare.😊

The e-bikes are pretty darn fun. There are good people in this industry. I had a specialized turbo levo on loan from the bike shop when they were having trouble fixing my shock on my bike. I loved the bike so much I wanted the non e-bike version and wouldn’t mind the e-bike version either. Keep at it.

Always great to see your take on things in videos on this channel whether it's on hardtails or anything else on two wheels. e-bikes do have a purpose in our world of getting people on trails when they couldn't otherwise. Take care and see you soon, Steve.

@CasperRc81 Год назад

We don’t care Steve it’s you we enjoy. You responded to me receiving the New Marin SQ3 29er. That being said when you receive that Marin SQ3 I’d suggest you get a large. I love my 27.5 but am glad I opted the 29er as the fork will take a 27.5+ as well. Mine is a large/ felt the XL is huge and I’m toying with a 50-60mm length stem as it comes with that goofy 35mm 😂 the bars are far behind the axle line stock and have traded the saddle out for a longer railed one to increase my effective top tube/reach. I love the 77* ST but asks for the longer stem. The bike is great but it’s more mtb for me with DJ/BMX tied into one. Love the insurance of slack HT. Mine has a 170mm dropper that I have pulled out about idk 70-90mm. I just ordered a one up 240mm to slam it. Went with the thin red RF-Chester’s. No pedal strikes on the 29er wheels. I also have some 40mm riser bars on the way. Im 6’-3/4” tall and 32-33” inseam. I do love the steep seated position you mention and am able to sit more on the seat without my inner legs scrubbing it, or favoring the rear outer. I find the bike to be crazy fast. My heart goes out to your wife as her Man is in a valley and pray the lord puts his hedge of protection on you/family. For ever and ever 🙏 ST length is 410mm so it will be plenty low enough for you with the 170mm cranks which I enjoy. The wheelbase is longer for your terrain in what your used to. The bike is specked wonderfully and I went with ARDENT exo’s front and rear. Im riding San Tan mtn Queen creek Az. Hawes red mtn, south mtn etc. wheelies/manuals bunny hood etc.

@TheECP Год назад

Great to see you riding again! If you’re in need of a new hobby when you’re physically recovering, I highly recommend board gaming. They’re so much better now than the classics we all grew up with. Great way to socialize with friends and family while taking it easy. You like nature so look into games like Parks, Wingspan, Cascadia. Your local Barnes and Noble and Target have decent selections. Reading rules can be daunting sometimes but there’s great RU-vid videos that teach popular games, like “Watch it played” Good luck on your recovery ❤️
