Show us pictures of where you ride your ebikes!

Exploring near home by ebike
K wanted to ride last Sunday, but we're in high tourist season now, and the Coast Highway's a madhouse on weekends.

I feel your pain. Things here have started to slow, but we have two more weeks until the kids have to go back to school. From the end of August until the middle of October is glorious. We call it "locals season". The summer home people stay until Thanksgiving or Christmas, so it's not just us, but the population is cut at least in half.

The Breeze with the MTX bag looks great. The white bike is an awful nice backup.

And WAAAAAY better than no ebike at all.

Certainly, certainly.

Had I no Specialized e-bike, I would be totally happy with my Lovelec. Pictured: My brother Jacek in early 2020 when I only owned the Lovelec and the big Vado

I can barely see him, very dangerous

I have for long suspected you of being colour blind, now it is proven

Took a ride today with Mary on the Nyack Beach (NY) bike path which runs 5 miles along the Hudson River from Upper Nyack to Haverstraw. A very nice ride. That's the new Tappan Zee Bridge (which also has a bike path) the the background. Last time I was here was 50 years ago with my parents and sisters.

You mean the Governor Mario Cuomo bridge.

 

[Biplaneguy]

Some may call it that.

Same here. Oddly enough, haven't heard anyone use "locals season", but I'm totally stealing it. Between the low population and the best-all-year weather, October's just spectacular here!

October was also the best month by far in Colorado. Sure wish I'd been smart enough to ride an ebike when we lived there, but the riding from home would have been pretty crappy.

We live in the woods beside a river. Due to rocks and rapids, the river is not suitable for outboard motors, but we do get a lot of canoe traffic during the Summer months. Things drop off at the end of August, but weekend activity is still very high through until October when the Autumn colours start to wane. After hunting season in early November, we are down to locals. We are on a private road, and we live a pretty solitary life from mid-November until after the spring flood in April/May.

I ride my bike through to October, then use my stationary cycle to keep my legs in shape. Come April, I start riding again, taking advantage of what Mother Nature allows.

Sounds wonderfully scenic. Pics would be awesome!

Getting off of my duff and learning how to post pics is moving up on my to-do list. Since I retired from a software engineer position 20 years ago, I have become somewhat of a Luddite. We do have cell service and Internet availability here in the woods, but the Internet is a cell/sat hybrid with limited data.

I lost all of my pics last month when we capsized our canoe while running a rapid, and the seal on the bag that my cellphone was in didn't hold. I now have a new phone and will start building a new album.

Second Round of shopping today, round trip through the woods to the dairy farm for a few pieces of cheese

Natural pond where even a few turtles live (non domestic species)

I use a hosting site called postimages.org
Create a free account, upload your images, then choose the share icon and copy "Hotlink for Forums" and paste that in here with your text.

I just use copy and paste to post pictures here and on other forums.

One reason I like the hosting site is because it takes the burden off of this site, therefore the picture size is immaterial.

That's a valid point. However, on other forums where I participate, users are requested not to host pictures offsite, because if the image hosting site closes down, as frequently happens with free sites, or the user reorganizes his albums, the link is broken and the image is lost to the forum. Storage is so cheap nowadays that it's rarely an issue.

The Californian crazy rail ebike coast rider has made a new vid on a motoped legal in the state, not quite as polished , but its a very interesting 150m ride

This is true. My first hosting site was Photobucket, and they decided that all free accounts would require a hefty subscription, so I took my toys and left...

Base, I like your spoke trim.

Got over the knee thing thankfully and headed out for a quick run today down the greenway. Beautiful day that started out around 20C at 11am and ended around 25C by the time I got home.

Gotta hop over the train tracks here. I recall being surprised by a very quiet passenger train heading North. Stay sharp!





The blackberries are at least 20' now...



Truck stop just off Hwy 91 is very full today...





OK, these BB bushes are a good 25' high...







Muddy for nothin' and your sticks for free...



I love my, I love my, I love EMTB...



Water stop...



Looking down the obnoxious hill I just went up...



This park usually has a softball game going on... not today...



Heading home on a new path...



Good to get out again!
