Welcome, Ava! I prefer to ride alone. I take cameras along and stop often to take pictures. Other riders may sometimes find that annoying. Also, I take many pictures of birds. People talk and scare birds away. Birds seem to do interesting things when I am quiet and patient. And, as you say...

I use one of these.

I have used a number of iPhones mounted on my ebike handlebars over the past ten years without issue. I use the Peak Design mount (which requires the Peak Design case). Two of my three ebikes have front suspension, so perhaps that helps. My current iPhone is the 16 Pro, and it's been working...

I've been a member of this website for over ten years and I have not seen a bias against recumbents. When Court used to own this site he reviewed at least four electric recumbents, three of which were tadpole style trikes (two wheels in front): click here for link.

Medicare paid for my Biotronik pacemaker, no questions asked. I have Medicare Advantage with Kaiser, so the whole procedure may be different.

I have similar symptoms. One leg falls asleep and becomes painful. Getting up and walking around relieves the pain. I end sleeping less. But it's not necessarily on the days I have ridden my bike. It's random, about 3 or 4 nights a week. A doctor thought it was sciatica and prescribed physical...

Ernie, congratulations on making it to 97! It's great that you still want to ride a trike. The first thing you should do is test ride a trike. Etrikes, in particular, do not handle the same as ebikes, of course. They also do not handle as you might expect. Many etrikes only power one of the two...

It appears that exoskeletons are ready for prime time. An exoskeleton is a powered devide that helps you move, including walking, running, cycling, and walking up and down stairs. Here is an article in Cycling Weekly. Also, check out the link to Julia Clarke's story in Advnture magazine on using...

I have a drone, a DJI Phantom 4. I have not used it in years. I used it for real estate photography and video, but that business has gone down the tubes. Any real estate agent can take good enough pictures with their smartphone. Plus, as restrictions grew, the entire city of San Diego became off...

Very cool! It even has front suspension, rack, and panniers! A front hub motor, is that right?

Yes, I live in Hillcrest and bike from my condo. Regarding Sunset Cliffs and Point Loma, you can ride one of the trails in Sunset Cliffs Park up to Lomaland Drive (you cannot do this in a car). You are then inside the campus of Point Loma Nazarene College. From there you can ride to the tip of...

Yes, @Jeremy McCreary, North County has it much better than San Diego proper, and it's even worse as you go south to Chula Vista, Imperial Beach, and San Ysidro. (And forget about going east to La Mesa, El Cajon, Santee, or Spring Valley.) But even as bike infrastructure in San Diego is middling...

@indianajo, it's possible that your condition is different than mine, and that the kind of variable-rate pacemaker I wear would not be appropriate. Mine is a Biotronik Edora 8 DR-T, and it uses a closed-loop stimulation sensor to respond to physiological demands on a beat-to-beat basis. On my...

@indianajo, sorry to hear about your health issues. @Mike TowpathTraveler has some good advice in post #29. I have a pacemaker myself, and I don't find that it hinders hill climbing. It's probable I have a rate-responsive pacemaker. It automatically adjusts to my exercise level. Pehaps you...

I don't know if @Katrina92 is still around, but there is a Kickstarter project for a Superbike weighing less than 20 lbs. Apparently, they will achieve this low weight by making it all carbon fiber with a small hub motor and small integrated battery. Not my cup of tea, but this may be the way to...
