Show us pictures of where you ride your ebikes!

Kids enjoying the pump track...



With dad about to launch...

That pump track looks like fun! Never had the pleasure. Have you ridden one on your ebike?

It most definitely looks like fun, but my bike is absolutely the wrong machine (or I am) for it.
It's more built for lightweight bikes with a shorter wheelbase. I tried a short stint on a different one and the geometry of me on my rig just doesn't make for a good flow.

Yesterday offered rain all day, sometimes torrential. So... today being a break in the weather created an opportunity to get out. I wondered if the Nemesis puddle was born or in infancy so headed down the greenway to find out.
Starting to feel like fall. Wasn't sorry that I added a vest to the garb. Leaves are starting to fall providing a lovely crunchy sound every so often...



There were headwinds on the greenway and I felt like ramping my cadence up to compensate...



What the... Am I dreaming?!??? Somebody pinch me! I have not seen the tide in for what feels like years! Dayum... I'ma go buy a lottery ticket!





Water break, and no barriers this time. Perhaps they are finishing up...



And heading home. Could have dropped the vest on the way back, but left it on. Good run and kept up a 20kmh average speed which even with a stiff headwind at the beginning was not bad for me on this bike...

No pun intended, of course.

Puns are @DaveMatthews's job.

Yesterday I decided to hop on the bike to go get a prescription filled.
After that I felt like doing more, so headed down to River Road just to poke around. Didn't really go far, just tooling around... cuz...

Fraser River Pile Driving ship...



View of Alex Fraser Bridge...



The land under the bridge is recognized First Nations...







These guys use these incredibly agile boats to arrange logs in the river along the shore to be used in the cedar mill...





View from an overpass looking West...

I know it doesnt belong here, but this I want to ride my bike, this video by Tucker Gott flying along the incredible houses precariously built on cliff edges is just unbelievable, where is this Jeremy, it seems like they should all be falling into the sea.
Just checked the vid its Torrey pines starts around 9.00

Looks like they turned around and headed north again over the southern part of Torrey Pines, a high bluff at the north end of La Jolla. Up on the bluff, you have the sprawling main campus of the University of California at San Diego, the mentioned paragliding port, and some of the most expensive homes in SoCal — which is saying a lot.

Below are Torrey Pines State Beach and Blacks Beach. The south end of Blacks is a famous surf break, where the Scripps submarine canyon, oriented just so, focuses big Pacific swell from distant storms. The nude beach is at the north end.

The mentioned major cliff failure at Blacks Beach in 2023, but smaller ones happen all the time...

All of the sea cliffs shown in the video you posted are subject to this kind of episodic slide without warning. Result: An average sea cliff retreat rate of 5 cm/year all along the SoCal coast.

All the ultra-posh estates and homes and view condos right on the bluff edges will eventually be condemned, undermined, and destroyed, but no one can say exactly when. Quite a dilemma for owners and public safety officials.

More on Torry Pines cliff failures.

We live in south Carlsbad, ~15 mi north of Torrey Pines. The southbound lanes of this nearby stretch of Coast Highway are severely threatened by active cliff failure and will soon be shifted inland to where the northbound lanes are now. Where they'll put the latter is beyond me.

I ride through here all the time. Maybe I should carry a shovel.

While taking those photos up on the bluff, a sea cliff stability inspector glided by on the cliff-face updraft. Not a telephoto.

If geology teaches anything, it's that one way or another, gravity always wins in the end.

Same deal on the Cape. You have typhoons, we have hurricanes.

A sea cliff stability inspector catching the cliff-face updraft happened by when I took those photos.

On the bright side the fire will be put out as your house slides into the sea.

Yesterday turned into a Tour de Delta in mixed cloud/sun. Mostly cloudy...

The slough at Deas Island Park is oddly empty on a Saturday...



OK, now I know why there was yellow tape across the entrance to the Millennium Trail...



Along the "Barns to Beaches route...





What... again?!!???



Alternate route took me by this old 1891 church on Hwy 10...



Water break at 32kms in Watershed Park...







Today I went out for a spin around the hood, and stopped for some "supplies"...

Now, that's what saddlebags were made for.

 

[stompandgo]

I hope you got another one for the right side pannier. Riding an unbalanced bike is unsafe.

I just replaced my 5 year old Hero 9 with a 360 camera that’s two generations old and I’m pretty happy with it.

Here’s a ride through some local trails:

And here it is mounted on my car’s roof during my daily commute:

 

[Chargeride]

Very nice, I was going to get one but they are just a bit to fiddly to edit.

Yes, absolutely true. The post process is probably taking me twice to three times as long because of the reframing and rendering. It’s definitely fun, though.
