I live in the Bay Area on the peninsula - I could easily name ten coworkers that have carbon bikes and usually more than one. They also often commute on them.

They’re expensive, but the market exists (at least here). Ride portola loop or old La Honda on any given day and you’ll probably pass 100k worth of bikes.
- ch33zer 6y agoThose people aren't going to be riding an e-bike, and if they are they won't be riding one with flat handlebars.
- fossuser 6y agoAt least one does, but yeah I’m not sure how much that audience intersects. I’ve also seen fancy specialized brand bikes with internal motors that give out an extra 250w of power. I suspected they were for older people that want to keep up on rides. Main thing I was pointing out was that carbon bikes aren’t just for super athletes, they’re common where I live.
