Apparently so. The South Carlsbad State Beach Campground store hosting our display attracts locals and campers alike with decent food and drink, a fabulous view, and frequent live music year round. The campground isn't filling up yet, so guessing that adding a dino display to the mix this time...

Following up on my previous post, 2 more animatronic dinosaur models from a pass through the campground the next day: The only thing better than sipping a beer on a beautiful day on a bluff overlooking the ocean: Doing it with an animated T-rex breathing down your neck. Now the placards are...

No telling where a system as complex as the global economy will settle after a shock of this magnitude. Could well be someplace even less to the liking of Trump's aspiring oligarchs — or someplace no one's even imagined...

Welcome! Could you elaborate for our battery gurus? We see "dead" used in different ways here.

Where's the pickle?

One way or round trip?

Wait a minute! How can you honor your recently stated pastry stop rule on a 40 km ride?

Where do your fellow countrymen draw the line? Pickle-flavored ice cream? Coffee?

A hearty ride — in hail, no less! Hail didn't make the list of things I miss about Colorado. Thanks for the reminder to do my own train-to-tailwind ride. South winds are pretty common around here, and it's easy enough to train the bike to the south end of the commuter line in downtown San...

Good point. Pedaling without the chain didn't activate the motor in my case — a torque-sensing hub-drive with its torque sensor on the rear dropout and its crank rotation detector actually watching the cassette.

Curious as to how bike chains actually break. It's only happened to me once, and in that case, a side-plate pulled off one pin. What failed on yours? My break happened on a 70 lb hub-drive with throttle. Not sayin' how far I pushed it before realizing that I could just throttle it home.

Installation and pump use on some tubeless MTB tires. He didn't try very hard to get a seal with his pump's Presta head. But the Clik adapter screwed into the Shrader head worked flawlessly.

Welcome aboard! If my wife's new ebike gets her riding with me again with any regularity, I'd strongly consider this at $299/pair. They thought of everything. From the product page, the audio version of "Never let 'em see you sweat":

That's a really nice red. What kind of work boat in the backgound?

Thanks for posting this! Showed it to my wife. "See, honey? You got off easy with that Vado SL." I got that look, but I'm planting ideas for the next bike.
