    2020 : Our Rides in Words, Photos & Videos

    Passed 400 miles this morning. Woke up to my first flat. When the bike shop added air it sealed right up from the slime. Should have tried that myself. Mickelson Trail, signs of fall everywhere.

    Trek Alliant +7S *8S vs Specialized Vado 4 or 5

    I love that color, it looks almost gold in the pictures. Like @Dallant I have really grown to love the Nautical Blue, it is a very rich color and somewhat understated. I'd be interested in your battery. Bummer you couldn't take it with you. I think you can private message on this forum.

    Be aware, pedal-assisted bikes are NOT ebikes

    Not necessarily 15 mph but more the idea of leveling the playing field. Ebikes are not the enemy and do not cause more damage. Those people who tear things up on an ebike would likely do the same damage on an acoustic bike. However, limiting the speed may make people feel more safe and keep the...

    Insulated Trunk Cooler for Picnics?

    Perhaps on a day trip, has anyone considered something like this? So far I have been packing light snacks or a lunch cooler in my pannier. However, I wonder if a trunk bag that is insulated would be a more efficient choice...

    My first e-bike Allant 7+;

    I agree with many of your observations. I feel very stable on mine and I ride at least half the time on rough gravel roads. I have only felt squirrely when I was hauling a large box that was strapped on off center and I hit some new loose gravel. I like my bike more and more. I find I look for...

They are just minutes from each other and both right on the trail. You can rent bikes if you aren't traveling with your own. I've ridden it...
