    The world's smallest charger

    This is being marketed over on the other bike forums too, same blurb, costs $150 and isn't a charger but a USB powered DC/DC converter. You'll still need a charger to plug into it for it to work so the last picture is highly misleading. This is what you'll actually need.

    Everyday is Bike to Work Day?

    I'll admit I enjoy riding my bikes a lot more now I'm out in the countryside where traffic is very light, like one car a minute light. Breathing those exhaust fumes down in the city wasn't fun, which was my my major ride was always early Sunday morning. Other rides often went on bikeways near...

    e-scooters are an example of a technology pushed into areas it doesn't belong. Where does it belong? On bikeways and speed restricted inner urban streets I would suggest. Not out in the suburbs among the traffic, and certainly not on sidewalks. Side "Walks"

    How hard can you push a Bafang Ultra motor

    lol, well yes, that's understandable. I have some RC buggies that I regularly max out the engines in but I think they are designed to run that way, and if they fail, so what! Also my 2Stroke brush cutters and chainsaw and blower get run at max RPMs. They are specifically designed to be run...

    Ebike injuries growing exponentially in California

    That's another factor, it takes a certain "attitude" to safely ride bikes and a lot of the ebike entrants probably don't have it. Like those middle aged accountants that go out and buy a motorcycle during a midlife crisis. If they're lucky they get to sell it before their first nasty crash.

    I use a big magnet, and rub it along my tools.

    Accidents grow exponentially after ebikes sales grow exponentially. Perhaps there is a link here 🧐

    I haven't used a hand pump in 30 years of cycling, except once when I got a flat and the patch wasn't good. Initially I pumped the tire up with CO2 cylinders but when it started to go back down I had to use the little pump I carried. At home I use a 12V car tire compressor, I run them off old...

    Just for fun...

    Would work actually. I had the task of pouring out someones ashes once and it was more like sandblast shot than bbq ash. All the minerals naturally. Would pay to grind it up though, it was a bit lumpy.

    The transition

    This thread has turned into a US flag waving party I'll leave you all to it. Bye.

    The transition

    Oh dear oh dear... Why do you insist on spinning things away from the obvious reality. I was talking about the Japanese attacks on Americans, not what happened in China or anywhere else. I couldn't give a FF that they were nuked, but the fact remains that they were innocent civilians. Now...

    The transition

    That has been my whole augment here. One country slandering another for invading it's neighbor, while at the same time it goes around the world overthrowing governments, assassinating leaders and bombing the guts out of whatever it doesn't like. I have no issue with what the US is doing, I...
