    Commuter Bike Setup

    I lived in Northern WI & MN a good share of my life so speak with experience about winter weather. Good luck keeping your hands and feet warm for more than a few minutes. Bringing anything that is outside cold temp. inside a warm building and the item will instantly get wet from condensation...

    Public comments while I ride.

    I grew up very near the border in Minnisota & Wisconsin. Yep everybody greeted everybody like they know you with a friendly smile, wave or hello.

    In all fairness there are bikers out there that put themselves in dangerous positions because they feel they have their rights and by god they are going to use them. We have way too many bicycle deaths in Tucson Arizona.

    Thorn Season

    If you ever want to see thorns come to Tucson, AZ. Big ones little ones and very size in between. 99 percent of everything that grows here has thorns.

    Don't be so damn negative. If you can't say something nice don't say anything.

    What’s your preferred cadence?

    I have wondered if anyone has done any testing on how much energy is wasted on spinning fast verses a slower rate. It just seems to me that fast spinning would use and waste considerable energy just keeping the spin fast.

    Rad January funding or close

    I didn't get rid of my e-bike but did buy an electric scooter which is governed at 22MPH. I must say I use lots. It is just so easy to just step on , sit on if I wish and do my errands. It may just be going to the mail box which is about 3/4 of a block away, up a hill. It is a toss up with the...

    What's holding back the e-bike boom? Research, safety, and bias (article)

    I live in the South West desert so weather is usually not an issue bike riding except when it gets to over a hundred degrees and blazing sunshine. Usually it is too hot, too wet, too cold or just so much work (proper attire) for most to get ready to ride a bike just for a two mile ride to get a...

    How would you do it? (Tongue weighing)

    "Just see how it works behind your bike" Reminds me reading about Edison and the light bulb development. Workers were trying diligently to figure out the volume of a light bulb they were working with taking a long time and Edison said to them "Just fill the damn thing with water and measure the...

    bought a gas generator for myLiFePO power station

    I am now seeing some articles about Nissan and Subaru experimenting with autos with electric propulsion only to the drivetrain. They have a constant running small gasoline generator on board that runs at an almost constant economical and efficient speed charging the battery. I tam pretty sure I...

    Rambo Krusader 2.0 Battery Won't Release?

    Just don't force it, get a bigger hammer. It might respond to Silicone or WD-40. Spray it and work it so as to work the spray into it well. You have nothing to lose.
