@Geneva, My office is close to a large Gym with two stories. People will drive jacked up monster trucks less than a mile from home and they all park together. Then they take the elevator to the second floor where the stair climbers and exercise bikes are located. These men, and they are all men...

It was meant to be a joke that would last three-days. At one point the Eastern European guy had it taken down because it made fun of his favorite bike brand.

I can't believe this thread is still going after over four-years.

@Chargeride, If you do make the video, try the little man here first, and keep skipping him ahead to see where it leads, turning from time-to-time to get the views. This is one of my favorite rides and would make a great video or VR. It is Coleman Road from the bucolic little town of Occidental...

There has to be something from camping or rock climbing equipment you could adapt. What if one pedal could go backwards relative to the other. When you want to pedal move it back so it opposes the other side.

Phase 1: How the Sunk Cost Pitch Works The pitch relies on the Sunk Cost Fallacy—the cognitive bias where people continue an investment (money, time, or effort) because of what they already put into it, even if continuing is not the best choice. Salespeople trigger this through a three-step...

@Dave Rocks, I laugh at myself more than anyone else. It is part of how I learn. I have an admission. I purchased another bike at the same Mega Sale 6.5 years ago. It was the guy's version of the same Public Bikes pink bike. It is white. I have ridden it almost everyday in all weather since. For...

Other than I have sold them and worked on them in a Specialized shop. But that is a failed attempt to moving the spotlight onto a different, ad hominem, and irrelevant topic. This is about Brad and the vampire corp. Let's hold the focus steadily there. I want to see about their offer to get more...

That's funny. I purchased that bike for $450 at Mike's Bikes Spring Mega sale. It listed for $650. They have blow out sales in early Spring and late Summer. To girly girls (of any age) most eBikes look too butch. I also picked up some WTB tan walls it had white kendas and the matching rack. I...

I am not taking that bait. This is about @Brad Crouch, people like him, and a vampire corporation. I can answer the question elsewhere.

From 2020. I got a bike for free then and converted it, putting fake flowers in the basket and made $1700 the next day, profit. The basket sold it. The guy purchased what he thought was a bad-azz bike online, I assembled and I delivered it with wine, cheese, flowers, and a baguette in the...

The consensus here on EBR is to test ride a bike at a local dealer before purchase, and at a dealer who will support it locally. You will get a better bike than online only and will have free local pro assembly and local service. Online only companies do not have an address in Google Maps. And...

@Brad Crouch. Crickets. Nothing. Did they attempt the pitch to spend more and more? What were the terms? Click Download User's Manual to see what you can control on a really good user system, all through the display including dealer level diagnostics. You own it and are its master. Want to set...

You can pick up a lot of skills here with peer review. Maybe it starts with cleaning a chain or changing a tube. Then what is comfortable or still just outside of comfortable can slowly expand out to include more. By not being overly risk adverse and slowly taking on things just a little bit...
