Here in coastal SoCal, the RideWithGPS cycling layer is pretty good about (a) showing most offroad cycling opportunities, and (b) NOT showing trails closed to all bikes. But it's not perfect on either score and has nothing to say about legal ebike access. RideWithGPS also has a USGS topo layer...

Yes, it's got good battery life. But phone battery life wasn't an issue for me pre-ACE. I need real-time GPS mapping on my bars, and I want detailed ride recording. Had all that pre-ACE, and seldom use turn-by-turn nav. If it weren't for the risk of phone camera damage on handlebars, I'd...

Quoting myself only to emphasize that it's a gross oversimplification to say that phone-based mapping/recording eats up phone batteries. That's certainly the case for RideWithGPS with the screen always on. But you can cut back screen usage in the settings to good effect. And it's not true at...

Another potentially costly issue with phone-based navigation Mounting a phone with high-end image-stabilized cameras (with vibration-sensitive mechanical parts inside) on your bars can cause permanent loss of camera focus. Apple has issued warnings about high-end iPhones on both bicycle and...

Interested to see how Rivian's experiment turns out. Vaguely recall some ideas worth trying in the video.

You Brits can be so backward sometimes! Here in the US, we prevent that with edible cooking rivets. ;^}

It does indeed. But I'd also have to get divorced to put some of those new thoughts into action. Oh wait, the lawyers would end up with all the bike money anyway. Never mind. ;^} Congrats! Wishing you lots of fun on your Creo and a quick return to your pre-chemo self.

Let's try it with a Sp☆cialized Creo and Trek Madone mention.

Posted this earlier today: https://forums.electricbikereview.com/threads/my-dream-bike-got-stolen-lessons-next.58804/post-701140 When I hit [Post thread], I'd mentioned 2 different Velotric ebikes WITHOUT linking them. Three mentions total. No links anywhere in post. Forum software added the...

Does the Discover 2 have SensorSwap? Great feature. The OP wants cadence-sensing, but there are times and places for both kinds of assist. Why stick yourself with just one? My wife's Breeze 1 has SensorSwap. She generally prefers torque-sensing. But her arthritic sacroiliac joints limit her...

Part of me feels like I ought to thank you. ;^}

Impressive result! I bet the accuracy had a lot to do with a skilled prompt on your part. What AI site or app did you use? I might want to create an image of me winning the Tour de France on Pogi's yellow Colnago with a superhero physique under my yellow jersey with Mount Ventoux and a million...

Sorry, can't understand the language. If he's saying that he can charge that particular phone with the display in question, then the right cable might be all you need. But do all phones have the same minimum charging current?

Are you sure that the dislay's USB port provides an adequate charging current? If not, no cable will help you. Example: My commuter ebike's display and battery both have USB-A charging ports putting out 0.5A and 1.2A, respectively. The 1.2A port will charge my Samsung Note20 phone, albeit...

Ads for Charlie’s Electric Bike of Encinitas, CA used to be a common sight on the EBR pages served to me. Accidently clicked on one recently and got a very sad notice, quoted verbatim below. The upshot: Illegal e-motorcycles sold as "ebikes" are driving legal ebikes out of this market. This...
