$4.99 / dozen today at Vons, at my local SoCal store. Gas for my genny was $4.69 / gallon. Edison keeps shutting power off due to fire concerns. I had to throw out dairy that had gotten warm in the refrigerator when I was on a quick trip to the coast. GRRRRRRR.

The vinyl and the equipment needed just takes up too much space for me. I have more music on my phone than most people have in their record collections. Couple that with a good Bluetooth speaker and it will literally fit in my pocket, to listen to anywhere, not to mention how easy it is to...

SoCal here, last week was about $3.99 for a dozen, down from $10.99 the week before. Regular gas here is about $5.00 + per gallon and interestingly it was cheaper when I popped over to Ventura Ca last week at $4.51 per gallon.

Just wear what you want, who cares.

I don't think speed and performance is the issue, if it were we'd have cars and motorcycles governed to 55 MPH. The problem lies with the fact there is no licensing requirement to who and what age can ride an ebike. Children and young teens, and a few immature adults are the problem...

I use a Casio electric (non rechargeable 3 volt cell) altimeter watch I bought in 2000, and I replaced the battery yesterday and see the calendar is good through 2039, so I have a few years left. My exercise watch is a Fitbit Inspire 3, not very good anymore after the last two updates. I think...

Great we're importing more racists now, just what we need.

My $600'ish dollar Amazon special MTB is aluminum, about 45 pounds, and is going strong after 4 years, used daily. Actually a darn good entry into e-bikes. I think you have an unfortunate anomaly.

My other hobby is ham (amateur) radio. Lots of items come from China, Taiwan, and Japan. I won't be buying anything radio related until some sanity returns to Washington DC.

In my neighborhood there's a fair number of kids that blast down the streets on all manner of motorized 2 wheelers, most electric but some ICE M/C's. Some look to be as young as six or seven and they don't seem to have the understanding of how dangerous it can be. They just look straight ahead...

Try, if possible to ride the bikes that are on your list of possible bikes. Size and ergonomics are important. My first and only e-bike isn't too comfortable for me, but it was cheap enough that I now have a better idea what features and ergo's I want in a future e-bike.

US elections are too long, basically it starts up the day after the election with raising obscene amounts of money from special interests. Elections should be limited to 6 or 8 weeks and special interest money should be illegal in my opinion. SCOTUS got it wrong on the Citizens United ruling in...

I always use a chain wax of some kind, I've been using it for years on my motorbikes and I bought some bicycle specific chain wax for my e bike. It doesn't last as long as gooey lubes, but the upside is it works, and doesn't fling off or attract much dirt, Just reapply as necessary.

As much I'd like trump and Vance go away, Vance would be a vast improvement, since he's not insane, he has an ideology that you can debate, unlike the "orange one" who just twists in the wind. Google what Vance used to say describing trump, he was not complimentary at all, but he sold his...

Ain't that the truth. What rattles around in that guy's head I wonder? He has the attention span of a 3 year old. PS, I've read this whole thread and want to commend all who posted, although different political views, most refrained for personal attacks and were respectful. See we can have a...
