    The Green Room

    The truth is it is SARS, Sudden Acute Respiratory Syndrome, just the latest varients. In 2003 the CDC & Bush admin did a pretty good job of putting a lid on it, but that didn´t stop it from kicking around in Asia. Through trade & tourism some version or another has been floating around the U.S...

    The Green Room

    I sometimes wonder if all our efforts are making it worse by creating a more deadly virus as new varients emerge. It is fortune that pills now have emerged for treament. Odd? You´d think they´ve looked for one first.

    The Green Room

    What I love Is the psychology of the split screen with 4 people staring at you. Being outnumbered, One instinctively & unconsciously needs to agree with them. The sub-lim stuff they pull with ads is truly sinister! With the exception of bicycles in the background of course.

    The Green Room

    Oh yeah, I watch CNN & MSNBC every day for about 1 minute each, That is if they are not in commercial which seems to be about 50% of the time. Sometimes I even take a peek at Faux for comic relief. Tucker Carlson´s blank stare is a hoot; reminds me of Billy on Young Sheldon. RT,(Russia Tv) is...

    The Green Room

    Perhaps I should have used the word ´constructive´. The unending stream of negativity only spawns a negative effect. It does less than nothing to alleviate the situation.

    Rize MD or RX?

    Useful information. I rigged to carry 2 batteries, but I have to use ´em one at a time. As it is, I can get close to 60 mi with a 13Ah dorado in warm weather. that´s mostly pedal assist

    Look , we get it. We´ve been beaten over the head with it for nearly 2 years. I´m not anti-vax or anything else; I just wish the media would shut the hell up & find something positive to say.

    Doomed we may be, & the planet won´t miss us. but it´s no reason to give up trying to fix our mistakes. Man has always strived to do the impossible.

    Converting old Raleigh 3 speed

    3 speeds are overlooked these days, but I put a few miles on them & in conjunction with a motor they can be remarkably powerful yet simple to operate & maintain. In B.E.,(before electric), I hung 25cc a friction drive on a Raleigh 3 spd. 3 speeds was all that was needed for any situation. I...

    Bike trailer

    That looks to me like a relatively simple build. I´d make the floor with fiber glass tape on 2x 2s & 3/8¨ plywood. The sides & top could be of corrigated plastic sheet or 1/ 4¨ paneling. I have a piece of 5/8¨ axle stock I could tool to fit 16¨ wheels or something that fits 5/8¨ I´ve got a slew...

    What is different about the Das-Kit geared hub motor?

    Very good idea! The das kit is really goosey & can jump when you position the pedal or bump the throttle.

    Is anyone trying to solve charging on the road?

    This country could get by without a helluva a lot of automatic weapons. No one has accused us of being civilized in decades. I have .22 for bunnies & vermin I´ve not fired in 30+ yrs. If I hunt, it´s with a bow. I´ve been told I could hunt bear with a switch.

    The Green Room

    Living in a highly military community I went to a new high school, the only one in the US with it´s own planetarium that also offered a course in Asian history. Viet Nam was such a senseless unnecessary disaster. At the end of WW2 Ho Chi Minh was eager to ally with the US, but we chose to...

    Is anyone trying to solve charging on the road?

    Too bad. For now, the 2 systems will have to operate separately I guess. Still, the increased range is worthwhile, Any way to get outa Dodge without spending a bundle. Of course there´s still a possibility of getting stranded in the hinterlands with an unforeseen mechanical snafu. Eh....If I...

    At this point, I have abandoned all fruitless concern for the future as counter productive. I´m just geting on with the things I do. ¨What me worry?¨

    Is anyone trying to solve charging on the road?

    Oh well, that info will be useful for the next build; for now I have to go with what I´ve got. My batteries all have a usb port. I wonder if there´s a way to charge via the usb?? I have an old style friction type wheel generator?
