    Best foldable ebike

    So many choices but your sub-$1500 will narrow it down. But if your'e looking for cheap and known I'd recommend the Ride1Up Portola, the long range one. Others will say a Lectric XP 3.0 (I own one as well.) long range model. Please be aware that both of these ebikes are folders but folding them...

    Rode up on homeless person sleeping on bike trail.

    Now for a positive gas station story. I slipped out of work to check my P.O. Box and gas up my motor scooter one evening. As I pulled up to the gas pump this lady comes over and asked if I knew how to use a gas can. Say what? She said she ran out of gas and got a gallon of gas but couldn't...

    Ideal spouse! Someone at work gave us the triangle to choose from when picking a women you fancy. Now you can only choose 2. Your choices: She's hot! She's crazy! She's married! Again, you can only choose 2. My local machine shop has a triangle: Price. Quality Turnaround time. You can only...

    Police Ebikes

    Our police had Pedego ebikes for awhile and last I saw they had a fleet of Specialized ebikes. I don't mind one bit of them slipping silently in our 'hood. I actually raced one of them on my E-Lux Malibu GT and left him behind. That E-Lux was crazy fast and they were impressed by its speed. This...

    Rode up on homeless person sleeping on bike trail.

    I have a non-blood related nephew that does this scam. He carries a well used 2 gallon gas can and ask if you have some money so he can get gas for his car that ran out of gas because the dash doesn't work and he lost his wallet etc. etc. You assume he has a car sitting on the side of the road...

    Rode up on homeless person sleeping on bike trail.

    My wife had a lady approach her at the local gas station asking for money. My wife told her she didn't carry cash and the lady pointed out the ATM machine that was outside the gas station pay window. My wife just drove off without giving the lady anything.

    BMX bars for XP 3.0 without Davidbrandnew....

    I got everything put back together but I didn't get an invoice with my order so I don't know what size of what that I received. I will post pictures and try and figure out what stuff I used. Only thing I know is the GT 4-piece bars are stupid wide and the lack of back sweep (new school bmx bars...

    Lectric One

    I'm just waiting for a real world review before considering "one". Not a review by an influencer but a run of the mill customer. And I also stopped doing pre-orders as well. The kids call pre-orders crowdfunding but it's the same thing to me. A co-worker calls it Pre-Pay and Pray. Pre Pay for...

    I've never seen Pulp Fiction but I love the new Pulp Fiction pinball machine! I also play The Big Lebowski pinball machine and have yet to see that movie.

    gloves for stiff fingers

    As close as I go to compression style gloves are snug leather gloves for motorcycles. I've found Bilt summer leather gloves from Cycle Gear fit snug when new and once broken in feel perfect. I'm facing the fun issue of my right hand going numb now while "mostly" riding my scooter. It (right...

    Rode up on homeless person sleeping on bike trail.

    I still hand out front and rear lights for people on bicycles that don't have any. I also pack some extra cold bottled waters on really hot days and hand them out to people walking in open places. Never thought of snacks.

    Ski Goggle Lens tint for cold weather/ direct sun or helmet with better sun shade?

    I just installed Da Brim on my helmet and, whoever first discovered this item and alerted us on this site about them should get a hero reward! It was a little confusing to install with the black and white manual but the You Tube video helped me get it right. What a great product!

    Rode up on homeless person sleeping on bike trail.

    Bums don't wanna work. They let drugs and/or booze make all their poor choices in life. I know not to let drugs and/or booze control my life. Homeless people have an unfortunate event happen and they try to get out of the situation. If they succumb to using drugs and/or booze then they become...

    Rode up on homeless person sleeping on bike trail.

    I focus my donations and time to the local animal shelter and related causes. Animals can't really choose how or who ends up taking care of them. That's also how I wound up with 3 cats! And I have bird feeders and squirrel feeder. Spring is big money payout for bird food and assorted nuts! At...

    Rode up on homeless person sleeping on bike trail.

    We have this silly huge underpass that I go thru almost daily. It became tent city for awhile until our city cleared it out. It always smelled like pee and poo under there! The bums will slowly test the space by putting a little bit of stuff under the overpass and then, boom!, tent city again...

    Rode up on homeless person sleeping on bike trail.

    As much as I used to hate bums, I now will ask them if they're okay, at least acknowledge them. And if I'm in a fast food place ordering my food and notice a destitute looking person counting change I'll ask them what they want and add it to my order. Maybe it's because I'm getting older or...

    Rode up on homeless person sleeping on bike trail.

    We had this homeless dude sleeping on a sidewalk with the most perfect look. He had this cool looking hair and beard combo that made him look like a villain from a 70's Superman movie! But yes, bums will set up camp at the worst possible places sometimes. I guess its just the new normal now.

    I think the "Affiliate" is just a confirmed fitment thing, as in he has installed a few of his products on their ebikes. I don't see a ebike company selling his product on their website but they might recommend his products for charging handlebars and such. I also have to note that I got a reply...
