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

    I live in San Mateo County...of all the counties in the Bay Area, it has the least amount of bike access on the trails, compared to nearby counties, though it has hundreds of miles of trails, as it is hiker and equestrian biased. That said, NO dirt trails in SMCounty allow e-bikes, of any type –...

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

    After a few days of rain, headed out for an hour ride nearby. It wasn't a long ride, so I only took these photos at my turnaround point on the north end of the route. I know this trail is closed to bikes, but I walked in a bit to capture the photo of the trees. I love the vibe after the rain...

    New to EBR, Creo 2 user

    Zippy2, Welcome to EBRforum. I picked up my Creo 2 Comp in June. So much fun! I ride 80% road 20% trails here in Northern California. With your 50/50 road/gravel riding, what tires are you using? I have read that UK spec Creos have a lower speed cut off for assist. Mine is 28mph.

    Plastic free lunchboxes for rear panniers?

    I have a small sized stainless steel bento box container in my car for a few emergency food snacks. there are all different sizes. So you could have multiples of the same size stacked in your pannier. this is small but it just gives you another direction to search. this is what I have in my car...

    Boo! I had just planned to go for a short bike ride near my house to see the Halloween decorations and costumes. Wow! I hit a gold mine when I pedaled over to Goodwin Ave. So I have to thank all of the residents for making the holiday awesome for all! I lived nearby for 10 years and had no idea...

    Who's ebike riding could ALL be done on a regular bike?

    I do. Today I rode my nearby route on my Creo, for a short 1 hour ride...19 miles. up and back with a little loop at the end. On Tuesday I did 33 miles on my road bike using the same route but extended further for 33mi. That full ride was about 2.5 hours. Just like to mix it up.

    Music Junkies?

    I am a huge music fan. I listen to music almost every day, sometimes in the background. Sometimes specifically dedicated to enjoying the music itself. I went to a Nation of Language concert on Monday, and saw B-52s and Devo last night. I ride both MTB greens and easy blue rated trails, and ride...

    Battery Tech and weights Creo 2 / Vado SL2

    I am no electrical guy, so was wondering what the answer is? I did go to the Specialized site for my bike (Turbo Creo 2, 2024)...the specs did not show voltage. My friend who asked me is a DIY ebike conversion guy. I don't DIY, though understand voltages, just never looked at that. So if anyone...

    Yeah, yesterday, our M4.2 quake was not on the San Andreas, but the Hayward Fault, centered in Berkeley! I like the Doobie Bros a bit, but a little early for me...never heard that song.

    I tried to get out earlier knowing it would be very hot, but was delayed, so it was in the mid-90s, though my Garmin1040 recorded 104° F (which I don't believe). It has been a while, but this was the first time to take obligatory photos of the Creo, at the Pulgas Water Temple, as I do with each...

    What a great area! Fun photos! How deep was that water?... it looks to be as high as the tires. How long of a ride?
