    ‘I felt powerless – so I started filming’

    I would not ride in major urban traffic under any circumstances! Call me a coward, (maybe so ), but I don´t have a death wish.

    Product Review - USB Rechargeable LED Bicycle Headlight Bike Head Light + Horn (ebay)

    Certainly worth the price, & worked fine until someone swiped the headlight, made a good flashlight for someone. My bikes now have lights that hook directly into the wire harness.

    Don´t say that, 45 will want to build a golf course & hotel.

    Trying to enlighten a flat earther is an utter waste of time.

    What would you do?

    Does the Scott mount a disc brake? Good to have one in front at least..

    Juiced Ripcurrent S Cassette Swap

    One could also go to a smaller chainring, I went to a 46T on my CCS because most of the terrain here is steep & I´ve no need for 28mph. It took a lot of stress off the motor & me pedaling.

    Product Review - USB Rechargeable LED Bicycle Headlight Bike Head Light + Horn (ebay)

    I bought that, someone stole the head light, the rear light now only fuctions manually instead of wireless. The good news, I´m only out $12. My battery has a usb, so I could have charged on the fly.

    The Green Room

    One can always find some ´scientific´ study that agrees with one´s point of view. I´m sure there are several that will tell you tobacco is good for you. Never-the-less, this has been the year of the U.S. domestic climate refugee. That´s pretty hard to deny.

    Bike trailer

    Nothing wrong with thrift store accessories. I´ve been adapted Goodwill finds to bike use for years. Some have even turned out better than pricey purpose built products.

    Bike trailer

    Looks totally suitable; I have that same cooler. I have a major character flaw though. I can´t bring myself to buy sumpin if I think I can make it....even though it would be cheaper, more expedient, & work better.🔧🪛🔨🪓🪚🔬🩺

    man this year sucks already.

    Bin there done that, the exact same scenario, with the heater stuck back in a bedroom closet. So much fun, wait til the floor boards warp. No worry, they´ll dry out, just remember to step over the remaining low spot. Just wait til a connection fails under the house. Now that´s a real joy...

    Are you being cheated at the pump?

    Well, whatever measures are taken, you can be sure the petrol industry will gouge for every penny tthe market will bear. Be it a spill, a distant war, or an election year when they need to fill their war chest, they will use any excuse to raise prices.

    It's fire season again

    This has been a big year for domestic refugees; I don´t see how they manage. Better luck next year just don´t cover it.

    It's fire season again

    The front range has been getting more & more of this nonsense as time goes by. It´s aways been a fairly dry high Sonorran ecosystem but populations there are 10 to 20 times what they were when I was a kid, maybe more in some places. Instead of building east on the flat they head up into the...

    ´Developers don´t give a dam about that stuff or the impact it has on it´s surroundings.All they care about is $. They come & scrape off all the top soil & sell it to the next deveiopment that´s ready for lawns to pay for the water system. I´ve worked for these people, & i´ve been scammed by...

    It's fire season again

    My best friend lives in Colo. Sprs. Some years back they put a subdivision on the hillside above the Garden of the Gods which was utterly devastingly to a delicate ecosystem there in spite on oppostion from the locals. Neither he or I shed a tear when it burned.

    Are you being cheated at the pump?

    My state uses the sticker deal too, but no way to tell when the last it was checked. When I worked convenience there was some guy came round about every other month & fiddled with the pump, but he didn´t drive a gov. vehicle, I haven´t the slightest idea what he was doing. Errors in customer...

    The Green Room

    Yes indeed!! If you go to ´Open Secrets¨ online you can check the portfolios of congress & the senate. There you discover the Gop is heavily invested in big oil while the Dems are fond of big pharm.. Of course both parties are invested in both to some extent, but it seems the Gop is highly...
