I've been to all of them save for Inuvik; I have been to Iqaluit, Barrow, Resolute Bay, and Kuujjuak though.

Getting off of my duff and learning how to post pics is moving up on my to-do list. Since I retired from a software engineer position 20 years ago, I have become somewhat of a Luddite. We do have cell service and Internet availability here in the woods, but the Internet is a cell/sat hybrid...

We live in the woods beside a river. Due to rocks and rapids, the river is not suitable for outboard motors, but we do get a lot of canoe traffic during the Summer months. Things drop off at the end of August, but weekend activity is still very high through until October when the Autumn...

In the garage; the garage also contains our 3 freezers, so we keep it heated. Temperatures can drop into the -20s C or lower during the winter. We live in a cabin, in the woods of Northern Ontario, Canada. In the past, most of our heating was accomplished with wood and our fireplace. Due to...

We changed the grips on DW's Level 3 and swapped out the handle bars for more of an upright "Cruiser" posture.

I usually ride alone, a group ride once a week during the Summer months, and with DW on occasion. My rescue strategy is a cell phone, and for backup, a couple of $20 bills in my pocket.

I purchased my first ebike, a Haibike Xduro Pro, in 2016. I loved the bike, it got me back into a sport that I have loved my entire life, but had largely given up due to advancing age and lessening capabilities. After 9 years, my Xduro was still going strong, me, not so much. Getting my leg...

I'm sorry for the loss of your friend Stefan, I'm sure that she would have appreciated the way that you honored her passing.

Our 2 bikes, Aventon and Bulls, weigh a combined 132(ish) pounds, which puts them a whisker above the 130# limit of the Easy Fold. We went with the Hollywood Destination rack, it has a 140# capacity, and a ramp.

We ordered, and paid for the bike in March, and after numerous missed delivery dates, we pick it up tomorrow. In talking with the vendor, he is hoping for one more delivery before price increases. This bike will replace a 2018 BH Evo City Wave. DW has a bad knee, so requires a class 2 bike...

Another vote for Mirrcycle, after 8 years, the original Mirrcycle on my Haibike finally gave up. Ninety percent of my rides involve loading my bike on a carrier, and driving to a trail. While on the carrier, I tilt the mirror horizontal to reduce wind-drag; the wear on the plastic finally...

Perhaps if it got out that wind turbines were harmful to sharks.

I cannot even begin to comprehend why someone would do something like that. I hope that our justice system gives the perp numerous consecutive opportunities to reflect upon his actions, and the consequences.

We are picking up DW's Aventon Level 3 this weekend. We were able to test drive a Level 2 in March, and were impressed enough with it to order the newer model which has more power and a larger battery.

We just purchased an Aventon Level 3 for DW, it is a torque sensor, but other than that seems to hit most of your desires. We got to do test rides, and we're impressed.
