Here's another shot I took at Steamtown that you will likely never see again. It's a reunion of the #4014 and it's sister locomotive the #4012, two Big Boys side by side. Talk about crowds. There were 26K visitors yesterday, and at least that many when I was there earlier today. I thought it was...

Big, yes, but it looked like a model train as it crossed the historic Tunkhannock Creek Viaduct last Sunday. It's the worlds largest concrete arch bridge. The largest steam locomotive, crossing the largest concrete bridge, drew upwards of 10K spectators! It looks like the spectators weren't...

It did. I felt it coming long before I saw it.

Took a ride on the D&L Trail through Lehigh Gorge to catch Union Pacific's #4014 Big Boy at Penn Haven Jct. It's the worlds largest operating steam locomotive. Wow what a beast!

How about a robot mower? :)...

On many of the trails I ride, I can't even do 20 MPH without being thrown off the bike.

It seems every rider has a mirror solution that works best for their particular riding conditions. In my case, I can't use bar end mirrors due to the vehicle barriers I pass through on the trails I ride. I switched to a helmet mounted mirror, which I find more convenient. It allows me to move...

This is the best approach to avoid any possible damage. I keep an eye on voltage anyway with all my batteries to avoid going below 20%. I rarely see the LVC activate.

No, Milwaukee M12 and M18 batteries do not have a low voltage cutoff in the BMS. Like DeWalt, it's in the tool. Ryobi batteries do have the LVC in the battery.

Cowboy Chili: A young cowboy walks into a seedy old café in Wyoming. He sits at the counter and notices an old cowboy with his arms folded staring blankly at a full bowl of meaty chili. After a few minutes of just watching him staring at the chili, the young cowboy bravely asks the old cowpoke...

I use the same idea.

IMO, these laws are useless and don't address the core problem. Most of the reported incidents involve juveniles, who are already breaking existing laws and will continue to ignore new ones. Without parental accountability, enforcement and confiscation, these laws aren't worth the paper their...

The only ones hurt by these laws are law abiding citizens who ride legal e-bikes. As you say, kids don't care about laws and will continue to ignore them.
