I know as I live in Texas :) Having said all that, I believe in keeping and charging my batteries in the house. Do...

    Which Laptop for Bicycle Touring ... ?

    Agree with pcdoc. A Chrome book or a iPad will do the things you listed. Many excellent photo editing apps on the iPad, and I’m sure on the Chromebook as well.

    @PCDoctorUSA - and congrats to you! I’m so glad you finally were able to order your bike :) I know you have had quite a journey to this point. If I were to get an online bike it would probably be a Rad. They seem to sell good bikes, and have good customer service. I guess you found a way to...

    Update: Still very happy with the Ui6, has performed flawlessly, zero issues . A few miles away from 300, and about 3 weeks. I usually ride 350-500 miles a month, and hope to give updates in the months ahead. Great ebike!

    US proposes 25% tariffs on Chinese ebikes

    Hey Dan. I’m one of those “Trump is just posturing to his trailer trash electorate” people. But unlike you I respect my fellow human beings.
