    My dream bike got stolen. Lessons, next?

    My choice would be the Stellar Falcon Step Thru. 750hp more power for hills. Rear seat post suspension for softer ride on bumpy terrain (a must for my back). Step thru would have been better for my short 29” inseam on legs. It has torque and cadence sensors like my E-Bike. Mine has rear shock so...

    Do you have a photo of the bike to see how he stabilized the frame after cutting the top portion to make it a step through?

    I really love my new E-Bike. My only issue is that even though I am 5’8” tall my legs are short with a 29” inseam while most my height have a 32” inseam which makes it a little difficult to get over the upper support but learned to manage it.

    Electric Bike vs. Regular Bike

    Because of hip issues and back fusions at 73 years of age pedaling up hill had gotten to be a deal breaker. Since I got my E-Bike I love riding and ride longer and farther. I use lower PAS levels until I start to tire then raise it as needed.

    My dream bike got stolen. Lessons, next?

    Sorry your bike was stolen. I just got an E-bike on October 2, 2025. The other day I ran across a bike insurance website called Project 529. You can pay monthly or yearly. Mine is $130 a year. I do not know a lot about it yet. And hope it is decent.

    New to the Group - Looking for Gravel Friends in the Bay Area

    I will have to get a “Gopro” style camera to do that and find a place on my already crowded handlebars to put it. I know you can get a secondary bar. When I ever get a camera I will purchase the extra bar.

    Sound in the Ears

    I have tinnitus but not from E-Bike or Biking. How is an E-Bike giving you Tinnitus?

    Florida Legislature considers problematic provisions that threaten cyclist safety.

    I liked watching B-52 and FB-111’s take off and land when Carswell AFB was a SAC base in the 70’s.

    I do not miss the days of sun burns in my teens and twenties. I don’t take shirt off as I am scarred in front because of Triple Bi-Pass and other surgeries and all over my back with those surgeries. I am sure I am ‘white as a marshmellow” also. Dad, my younger brother and sister have the brown...

    Rear Wheel Removal Tip

    My wife’s mother grew up in the Bayou‘s of Southern Louisiana. Her mother’s mother was French with the last name Breaux. Sometimes her mother would come out with French sayings I guess she picked up from her mother.
