i don't have much of a dog in this fight, but i just have to ask : are the people who write this media morons? or are they trying to be obtuse? or am i a moron? this is very confusing. first they list two types of e-bikes. 20mph ones and then 28mph ones, which they say are treated similarly to...

i’m sure there are apps don’t upload their data anywhere, or they can be told not to, but most do store ride data somewhere on the cloud. not sure what the risk there is, personally i don’t care if some hacker someday expends a lot of effort to know what my heart rate was on a bike ride! i like...

agree with your conclusions - but let’s be clear about the facts. he was convicted. had he not been elected president he would have been sentenced.

i mean … i personally do it every day and have designed a few million square feet of office space in a couple major cities around the world in which bicycle parking is required. i use this one every day, added at a very low cost to a building from the 1960s. some excerpts on the history of...

the head tube wouldn’t have complied with the old 3:1 aspect ratio rule. UCI changed that to 8:1. anyway, don’t believe everything you read on the internet - a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Ridley uses an almost identical frame for non-e-bikes.

park it in the bike room at the office. required by law for major buildings in many civilized places. fits about 40x as many parking spaces per square foot as automibile parking.

we had a bit of the same problem with left-wing / progressive Americans cities. fox news, republican politicians, and right wing social media characters go on and on about democratic failure to govern and provide public safety. but the facts are very, very different, particularly for San...

just get a left crank arm with meter, super simple swap and very easy, ant or Bluetooth. stages, 4iii. Bulletproof. $200 or so, including an ultegra crank arm. I don’t think they put them on deore cranks.

there are still tons of them here, probably the most common single brand. but a successful business isn’t just about volume, you have to make a profit on each (or most) item over a sustained period of time. almost 10% of their current liabilities are unpaid tariffs!

i’ve often observed correlations in affinity to various brands, particularly of the big two or three in each field. nikon - canon ford - chevy specialized - trek pepsi - coke honda - toyota :D

it's all very confusing/scattered and unpredictable. between significant labor shortages domestically and tarriffs prices on many things have gone up, but i would challenge anyone to really figure it out o_O

if storage and free time and health were unlimited, i'd probably have ... a super light high end road bike [check] a super light high end electric road bike [check] a gravel bike of some type [don't have one, used to have two wheelsets for my creo but frankly hated it on pavement] a full...

yeah, you’d have to have a dealer register the serials and clear the component swap “error.” it works without doing so but worth the $50 if you really like the mastermind. personally i prefer the app display on a phone/device on the bars, but mastermind is nice for minimalist riding! enjoy it...

the x20 bikes can climb most paved hills pretty well for most people who want a road bike. of course you’re not going to go fast, that’s not the point of a lightweight e-bike. it’s really pretty rare to find paved roads with sustained grades over 10% - of course they exist, but it’s rare. i...

great project! is that the color you're getting? love it. if you really wanted to... you could switch the mastermind over, no?
