Some extremists have even put out caltrops to flatten tires.

That is what I use. Even though I am in the United States, I bought a Canadian Apple iPhone 15.

DADT (Don't Ask Don't Tell) is the way.

I just asked my wife if she wants to switch our Gazelle bikes from presta to schrader valves. While I didn't get a definitive answer, yet, I will bring it up again at some point in the future.

I agree. I sure miss those days.

Great points. I have two batteries for my fat tire Rambo ebike. If I am on an "out and back" ride, I pretty much make sure that whenever the first battery is depleted, plan on riding home after switching batteries. And, yes, wind direction can make a difference. I have had it happen where the...

My wife and I are also ATV/UTVers, in addition to e-bike riders. One of the things different for us ATV/UTVing vs e-biking is most of our ATV/UTV rides are group rides. The groups aren't always huge. Sometimes there might be only three or four others. I think there can be safety in numbers. We...

On e-bikes, what components are the most likely to be unique to a given brand? I had new brakes, chain and tires installed on my Rambo a few weeks ago. I went to a local bike shop, but they are not a Rambo dealer.

That is a great point and this is a good topic of discussion. It is difficult to predict the future and anticipate with great certainty who will vanish and who will last, but there can be clues. In my lifetime I have seen a number of products become quite popular and then settle down. As a kid...
