Working people frequently ask retired people what they do to make their days interesting. Well, for example, the other day my wife and I went into town and went into a shop. We were only in there for about 5 minutes. When we came out, there was a cop writing out a parking ticket. We went up...

I asked a friend in Russia how life was going these days. He said he couldn't complain.

I just bought a Ride1up Prodigy, after having a BH Atom Diamond Wave Pro for a couple of years. I also live in the Pacific NW. Thanks to weather and Covid and now weather again, I have not had a chance to ride it much, but I am really happy with the build quality and the torque for getting up...

It's a joke, PedalUma 🤭

I just read a book about Stockholm syndrome. It was pretty bad at first, but I was captivated and by the end, I kinda liked it.

Hello, fellow ebikers! Only a few more days left in the holiday season. Maybe you are snowed in or left it too late to mail them a gift. Maybe you just couldn’t think what to get for that particular someone. Maybe they took a lot of flights and would like to offset their carbon, if they could...

I've just been reading a book about anti-gravity - it's impossible to put it down. Very light reading though.

10% of people are colorblind, and the most common type is where red and green cannot be distinguished. Therefore, better a neon orange flag, if you're going to wave one.

An old man was eating at a truck stop minding his own business, when three dangerous-looking bikers walked in. The first walked up to the old man, pushed his cigarette into his pie and then took a seat at the counter. The second walked up to the old man, spit into his milk and then took a seat...

Must one be connected in order to use the bike?

Did I miss the post where it explains how an update is done to an ebike "over the air"? I don't have a "smart" ebike -- I don't have "smart" anything in my house. Except my laptop will get those danged Windows updates without my permission. But it is connected to the internet. Are these Stromer...

A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel and were standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After about an hour, the manager came out of the office and asked them to disperse. "But why?" they asked, as they moved off. "Because," he said, "I can't stand...

Inserting a juvenile and unrelated comment about "trimming bushes" is very poor taste and offensive. I say this not because I am "traumatized" by it, but because people so often give a pass to misogyny and sexism that they would not give to racist "jokes" or comments, or to anti-Semitic "jokes"...

Meant to report on what happened in Spain. BH has just four retailers in the US they will ship a battery to. Closest one is in southern California. So in addition to about $1,200 there would be the cost of either having it shipped up here or having to take a road trip to California to fetch it...

I think the usual BH warranty was two years, and then the US distributor offered and additional 3 years. Thus BH is saying you are out of our warranty, and since the US distributor is kaput, you are indeed SOL. As are we all.

Penguins Have Evolved! Now have Burial Rituals! Have you ever noticed any dead penguins on the ice? Even in all those wildlife documentaries? Never. Why?... Penguins have recently been observed burying their dead and conducting a funeral rite. An older penguin suffered an illness and died. A...

I sent them photos with all the fine print. It also tallies with the response I got from the other rebuilder in California. The third battery rebuilder I contacted said he couldn't rebuild it because his entire shop had burned down and he was out of business.

"We cannot rebuild your 2nd Gen Emotion battery. Sorry. You could try holding down the fuel gauge button for 10 seconds and see if it comes back to life. Best Regards, Patrick Duggan President Hi-C Battery LLC"

I did, and they can't.

But when you need to replace the battery, you will be out of luck 😒
