    Riders and lawmakers must understand the actual regulations and intent....

    It costs millions of dollars to challenge a law and bring it before the Supreme Court to get it ruled unconstitutional. It doesn't get ruled unconstitutional just because you write your Congressman or make a Youtube video that nobody watches, because dry legal arguments don't go viral. If you...

    New VR Cycling Goggles

    The idea of people walking around with cameras on their faces streaming data into Zuckerberg's data centers is kind of creepy. But maybe I am too old to appreciate the new technology.

    New VR Cycling Goggles

    That's actually a real thing you can get now. Look up Rouvy or Zwift. I wouldn't do it with a VR headset on, the sweat would probably destroy it. But Meta has changed focus to AR glasses anyway.

    The transition

    If Africa gets cheap electricity in the next 10 years, it will be because another country like China funded it in order to exploit the natural resources found there. I won't hold my breath though. It seems like most countries and corporations are putting those resources into building AI data...

    Do you have the time and money/resources to litigate your ideas? There are no organizations out there funded by and lobbying for the average ebike owner. We have to work within the system that has been created.

    Cheers on the 4th!

    A bottle of maple syrup never goes bad in the fridge. I use very little and a bottle will lasts for months. There is no reason not to buy the real thing.

    Does Greenland have igloos? I will have to get back to you on that.

    Proprietary Bikes and the Right to Repair

    I have full sized Vessel brand JIS screwdrivers. I don't think I have any Pozidriv and I can't recall needing one.

    Proprietary Bikes and the Right to Repair

    There are only four philips in the set. It is a security bit set as @PedalUma pointed out. I have this set, but also a few others. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JHK4LY5?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_4&th=1

    Proprietary Bikes and the Right to Repair

    I just buy bit sets for the screws I don't encounter often.

    Feeling wired at night and tired during the day – could there be something I'm missing?

    The internet isn't a good place to get medical advice. Talk to your doctor. Maybe they can do a sleep study too find out why you are waking up.

    Future of Drivetrains, No Gears, No Chain.

    Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation was superseded by Einstein's General Theory of Relativity over 100 years ago.

    Do you wear cologne when you ride?

    Are you sure that smell isn't weed? If I open the windows of my San Jose work apartment in the evening that smell drifts into the apartment and I hate it. But I don't want to shut all the windows and run the A/C all the time when the weather is nice. At least when I am home in the mountains...

    Lock Recommendations?

    Even U locks can be defeated in seconds with an angle grinder. If you are locking the bike up in a high crime area unattended for hours at a time It will be difficult to protect it. If your employer has bike lockers available or if they let you bring the bike into the building, do that. If...
