Eldred Street is insanity lol. Even if I could get up it, I'd be afraid to ride back down! There's another good one, about 30-ish %, called Fargo St. near Silverlake. The LA Wheelmen used to have an annual hill climb event there (on pedal power bikes), but unfortunately the City made the...

You should see the ugly streets in the Hollywood Hills. Big ruts, cracked and raised concrete, potholes, badly patched and re-patched areas... and steep. It's like technical single track mountain urban biking lol. That's my daily ride because there is very little car traffic up there, so I...

I'm liking the S Class of Bikes a lot! lol

Now Stefan, you wouldn't actually take the Mercedes G 63 of bicycles off road, would you?? 🤣

My Delite came with Johnny Watts knobblies, which I didn't really want. But those are what come with the GX option, so it was either toss out a pair of perfectly serviceable tires and put on smooth ones, or get some use out of the JWs for a while. 95% of my riding is on streets. This is...

I've been riding my Delite around for over a year now, and this is the first time I've spotted another Riese & Müller in the wild! But not in my own city of Los Angeles - this was near the Musée Marmatton-Monet in Paris. A nice-looking charger with Enviolo and a rather sad-looking Brooks...

Update: Just finished installing the Continentals and took a 4Km ride around the neighborhood. Waaaayyyy better!

I have a 2023 Delite (HS Rohloff), and I'd buy another one! Maybe the red one tho ;) The only thing I'm changing on it is the tires - it came with Johnny Watts knobblies and after about 15 months of riding them, I'm putting Continental Urbans on it. I don't ride anywhere nasty enough to...

The one on my Delite is 71mm.

As I mentioned above, I've been ordering Abus keys, locks, chains, etc. from Lockitt. I've dealt with them for a few years now, and they've been excellent. Keyed-alike are all special orders, and they usually arrive sooner than promised. A few people mentioned ordering Abus products from...

I order my keyed-alike Abus locks from Lockitt. https://lockitt.com/abus-5755L-proshield-xplus-framelock You can put your key code in the "Notes" section and they will key it correctly (use one of the "Special Order" dropdown options - retaining or non-retaining).

My pedal bike doesn't even fit in one of those. I was looking at one of them outside an LA Metro station the other day and had to wonder if they were for children's bikes or something! Granted, this was my rather large Dutch bike, but I don't think any bike I've owned since I was 16 would fit...

My office is 12.5 miles / 20Km away from my home... in Los Angeles. I could easily ride that distance on my ebike. In fact, I did just that, for recreation, up and down the Hollywood Hills this afternoon. I could store my bike at my office no problem. But damn, I've been looking for a route...

As a note - what possibly caused the problem was not removing the lock, and then removing the bike from my old phone. The data come over to the new one, but having the lock associated with the old hardware (iphone 12) probably caused an issue connecting with the new hardware (iphone 15).

I have to give a compliment to Bosch USA. Most people post to complain, but I had a great experience with them today. I couldn't get my new iPhone 15 Pro to connect to my Nyon display via the app. This on a Riese and Müller Delite. So I called Bosch on the phone, and: 1). I got a person on...
