    Exercises to improve ability to lift my bicycle

    I don’t know if the op is still around but can you lighten the bike? Take the battery off and anything else adding weight.

    2025 - Our Rides in Words, Photos, Maps and Videos

    I rode 14 miles this morning, very nice, less humidity and about 80 degrees. First few pictures are a wind turbine tower section that went by right after I crossed the 4 lane. This last picture is an old roller skating rink that is falling in. My wife grew up just a few mikes from this old...

    I hope you stopped them to tell them they are driving on the wrong side of the rode.😉

    Another epic ride @RabH . The River Tweed? For some reason I find it funny and it’s another name I’d think you made up but I saw that sign in your picture to back up your claim. In the U.S. it’d be the River Flannel. I rode 24 miles today, it’s still hot and humid but a little better so I...

    I rode about 16 miles today, the picture is an intersection where I stopped to take a break. I generally start at my house for my rides and its rural farm country. A lot of corn and soybeans grown around here with occasional winter wheat and quite a bit of hay.

    I rode 15 miles Into town today to run an errand. I made sure to get done before 10 am because of the hot spell we‘re in right now. A “car guy” place who is into the antique signs and gas pumps. They are called visible gas pumps because you could see the gas in the large glass enclosure...

    I rode 10 miles this morning. The weather is turning brutal, high heat and high humidity. When I got back the air temp was 86, not bad but the feels like was 96. A couple pictures along the road to my house, this is less than a mile from where I live. The deer was a picture in front of my...

    I rode 22 miles today. Nice day, fairly light winds but it’s going to get hot and humid the next few days. The first picture is about as close as I can zoom with my cell phone, turkey vultures are sitting on top of this old corn crib. The second picture is the same view just not zoomed in...

    Thule Easyfold XT2 - A good rack for ebikes and the best one if you have fenders

    We’ve had an Thule Easyfold for over 3 years now. So far so good, it’s got several thousand miles on it. I added a LED light strip to mine that plugs into the trailer light setup on my truck.

    Motor clicking

    I thought my Bosch was clicking also, it was the front chain ring or the pedals. The bike shop put both on.

    Woman chased teen on e-bike to 'speak with his parents' for going too fast, Flagler deputies say

    To much judging going on here. The kid may have been riding like an idiot or he may have been fine and the woman might have been an e bike hater. Either way it’s not her job to follow people and enforce the law.

    I did 22 miles today when I rode to a nearby city park called Spring Lake. I usually ride out there a couple of times every year. A little bit more hills for me with nearly a 1000 feet of elevation gain.

    I rode 20 mikes today. I saw this whitetail deer while I was walking from our house out to my shop to get my bike. The second picture is the Performing Arts Center they are building at the local college. They’ve been working on it a couple of years now. It’s of particular interest to me...
