I was just thinking yesterday on a ride against the wind how the wind is a non factor for the most part on an ebike.

Ultimately it was age and pain that pushed me towards an ebike

I like all the mods, the bike, and dedication to use it all for utility and probably fun. Walk the walk. Your doing it.

I just turned 69, & I have 2 total knee replacements, a fused left ankle, and all kinds of stuff in my back that hurts. I still ride my analog bike as well as my ebike. Yesterday I took the jamis commuter II ( city bike) analog for a ride. Came home and jumped on my ebike for yet another ride...

Yesterday on my 24 mile ride on a new trail that links 2 cities ( Eureka-Arcata ca) I encountered around 15 cyclists. Most were on analog bikes, and probably 6 on Ebikes. The only people that had a smile on there faces when I greeted them were the ones on Ebikes. Somes it up doesn't it.

Mines actually tilted up about 1/4 bubble with a level.

I keep slipping forward on my saddle. I've made adjustments both fore & aft, and have also adjusted saddle tilt and height to no avail. I'm using a brooks B67. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

R.I.P

I rode around Eureka CA yesterday and stopped next to the bay for a couple of pictures. Crab pots & a log deck.
