The first thing I would do is ask your employer if you could bring the bike somewhere inside the building. At the very least, take the battery inside with you. A bike without a battery is a deterrent for some would be bike thieves. I would also check for bike theft reports if you're in a...

I also like pockets in a bike bag, but I've found the selection limited. I eventually chose this extra large "Big Poppa" MIK rack bag. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DWBX38HW?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_6 It lacks interior pockets, but has a couple on the outside. The fold out...

When I priced solar 15 years ago, the break even point was just under the life expectancy of the equipment, but a single failure would negate any savings. I still wanted to go "green" at the time though and got estimates from 5 different companies. I scrapped the project when I learned the solar...

I don't know how it is being handled in other locations, but I met a couple at the Lumberville trailhead on the D&L trail in PA. yesterday. They had just crossed over the Delaware River from NJ on the Bulls Island foot bridge. They were from PA and were trying to ride the D&R Canal trail on the...

I believe it's sung by Stompin' Tom Connors on his 1973 album " My Old Canadian Home" Might not be the same version he sang on his documentary called "Across This Land With Stompin' Tom"

I just fold the cable back on itself under the spiral wrap to loose the slack. No risk of snagging on anything and easy to access when necessary.

Nothing really new here. Most of the NJ requirements you mention have been in place for many years for registering motor vehicles & trailers. It's a shame though that they now also apply to ebikes. I wonder what's next. Wheelchairs, unpowered bicycles, strollers, roller skates ????

Now that's a "low rider" if I ever saw one! At least he doesn't have to worry about the springs when he carries a heavy load!

Actually, the Townie Go was one of the bikes I test rode in 2017. Among other things, it was a class 1 bike then, and I wanted a throttle. I see the newer 7D version is a class 2 but it wasn't available back then. Since I'm a cobbler, I also didn't like the proprietary Trek (Electra) electrical...

I'm also 6' 2" and when I was ebike shopping, I wanted a cruiser style with a more upright riding position. The selection was pretty slim back then, so I chose a bike with most of what I wanted and added a stem riser and different handlebars with a more comfortable back sweep. This idea greatly...

I've been using a Steer Stopper device on my bikes to hold my bars in place for several years: https://steerstopper.com/ A cheap luggage lock can also be used as a deterrent for a casual ride off thief. Pricey at $109, and just as easy to cut as a bungee, but it's always in place so you...

There is such a wide variety of possible handlebar configurations, I guess all this comes down to personal preference. What works for some may not for all, so YMMV. With my fat fingers, I have trouble with touch screens. While they're great to look at, I much prefer buttons & switches...

I use a Nordictrack G-LE...

Actually, Three Mile Island is seeking FERC restart approval to power a Microsoft facility: https://www.utilitydive.com/news/constellation-three-mile-island-crane-nuclear-ferc-waiver/821836/
