    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.

    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.

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

    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...

    Michelin High Milers got the best wear of any tire we tried on the Original DFW Airport Train (Originally called Airtrans). Firestone absolutely the worst and only got 10-19K miles on them.

    Rear Wheel Removal Tip

    When I first got the bike they were a 14lbs of air pressure. I found the bike got much more stable at or near 20. I do not like doing anything at or near it’s maximum as it wears it out quicker. A circuit breaker in a house should only be operated at no more than 80% of it’s rated value. I...

    Rear Wheel Removal Tip

    With the knobby tires I had the pressure set to about 20psi. With the new Kenda’s 21psi. Why the difference? Mainly to insure they straightened out. I originally filled the rear to 25psi to correct any issues with tire deforming during shipping but dropped to 21psi before riding. Didn’t need to...

    My does it in .5 increments. (i .e. 27, 27.5, 28, 28.5 and the low value is 14“ and high value of 30”). I assume that is what you mean by granular but really granular would be in .1 increments.
