Sure, lots of kids ride motorcycles. As you said, that’s the parents responsibility. My concern would be with regard to this bike’s ability to stay together at high speeds. I’m picturing it flying apart at 60 mph, as it’s just another cheaply-made Chinese product.

That’s what I did when I bought my Specialized bike, because the local shop couldn’t get what I wanted. They were more than happy to assemble it, and have continued to service it. However, there is another dealer near me that won’t service bikes they didn’t sell, or at least they had a sign on...

Deere manufactures in a number of countries, though I didn’t dig far enough to determine what is produced or where it’s sold. Personally, I’m not opposed to using tariffs in a strategic manner. After all, we’re essentially funding China’s military. Also, if tariff revenue is used to offset...

I agree in general. However, I did buy a Rad bike for my grandson. He lives on acreage, and only rides it there or on paths with me, so he’s not doing anything that would risk harm to others. Now, he might crash on their land, but I did crazier stuff when I was a kid. And, we didn’t wear helmets...

No, stupid adults are using this to make e-bikes look bad. What do the bikes have to do with the actions of these kids?

I don’t believe the original Creo, with the original TCU, has a walk mode (if it does, color me stupid, because I own one) However, I found this, indicating that the MasterMind units do. What isn’t clear to me is whether that includes Mastermind on the Creo 2...

Definitely not me. It’s Liev Schreiber, who played the lead in Ray Donovan. Though I AM a Ray…….just not quite as badass as his character. Don’t piss me off though. 😂

Just make sure the trailers aren’t “tippy”. My wife bought one for our dog, and it tipped over really easily. Fortunately, I tried it out on grass, not pavement. It didn’t matter how carefully I turned, if the dog shifted her weight to the outside, it tipped. This was a highly-rated, fairly...

Looks like you got a good deal. Should be fun!

🙋‍♂️ I bought a Garmin radar when I picked up my bike. I also tried a mirror for a while, as an added precaution, but it was more nuisance than it was worth.

We had a camp next to a building I lease. One “resident” hacked his girlfriend to death with a machete. He was arrested, but the camp remained, with about 25 trailers, motor homes or tents. A few months later, another “resident” murdered a random stranger outside a nearby hardware store. At that...

I do extend courtesy, and sometimes a donation, to people down on their luck, as I realize that but for the grace of God it could be me. I also donate to local food banks and a particular shelter organization. However, when they’re obviously using drugs, I don’t believe a handout or allowing...

I saw police next to a freeway on-ramp yesterday, then noticed the city crew cleaning up the homeless camp. I smiled.

Bummer. Looking at the picture I see that the seat-tube is very short on the Vado! On my medium Creo, I can use as short as a 280mm Redshift post, so I hadn’t considered that problem…..but my legs aren’t long either. It is timely that this subject has come up again. I had a Redshift post on my...

Redshift offers the 30.9 diameter in a 350mm length also, and they offer a 90-day satisfaction policy. Unless you have a desire otherwise for shorter cranks, you could reorder in the shorter length.
