Your bike doesn't have to look that bad to deter theft. Just a little worse than the bike parked next to it.

Does your hyperscrambler2 look like this one? https://juicedbikes.com/products/hyperscrambler-2?srsltid=AfmBOopVjVKeqlSuGEFHcZy3C3YWINpXGiBu5mq3WDzb5c36pJejyLtN If so, cutting out the top tube will weaken the frame and make it dangerous to ride. If you post pictures, we may be able to...

I'm not sure why I didn't see & respond to your post earlier. Sorry to say, at 79, I'm not far behind you with the balance issue. I've also been looking at trikes & quads for some time now. Aside from the $$, my biggest concern is loading & transporting them. I also ride trails that can be...

Wow! No wonder you smoke so much Vado! 😁 Sorry. I don't mean to make light of all your pain, but I couldn't resist.

It's one of the reasons I like to ride semi rough trails. It keeps the spandexers at bay.

I don't even want to walk the 100 yards out to the mailbox & back with conditions like this. +1F at noon with a wind chill of -18F. A 24+ MPH headwind would make for a rather uncomfortable ride. :oops:

I'm so sorry for your loss and can only imagine what it's like to have a bike stolen. I did meet someone who had a similar experience though, and I saw what he went through. He was a fellow rider I would frequently meet on a local bike trail. I met up with him one day last year and he was...

This is an excellent solution on a national level. Unfortunately, states like NJ do not have the power to ban imports and have to pass meaningless laws.

I agree. In theory, banning throttles should work. The problem is, these E-moto bikes are already illegal for road / trail use in most locations. The "kids" ride them anyway and will continue to do so, law or no law. The bike makers claim they are for off road use on private property and an anti...

My wife and I take many fly / drive vacations. We've had quite a few trip disruptions over the years, mostly due to airline issues. We also found out the hard way that it pays to book everything in advance, especially hotels. Once spent a night in the rental car during a snowstorm when...

I've already written off the NJ trips I've planned for this season, while the "kids" will continue to ride illegally. Hotels, restaurants, etc, take the hit along with bike shops. Totally useless law.

To me an Yes, but the logistics are half the fun for me. Gives me something to do over the winter months when I can't ride

Picked up a couple of these on sale last week: Among other uses, they work great for making quick bike adjustments without putting the bike on the work stand. With the bike supported by the kick stand, I just put this hand jack under the bottom bracket and lift the rear wheel off the...

It's worth the wait. It keeps spammers out and limits AI posts.

This would require that you carry that $600 charger with you on the bike. To me, it would make more sense to buy a second battery which would give you enough range for a full day. I'm not sure where you usually stay on a ride, but 120V outlets are available in most overnight accommodations...
