If Dave was nitpicking, he would have pointed out that peddling has to do with selling a bike and pedaling is what you do on a bike. Just saying.

It would appear that you know very little about bike handling. I chose my bike carefully and as an experienced cyclist. Even with a 250 watt, 500 watt peak output, I don’t have to ride out of saddle, (I could simply use a higher assist mode). I do most of my riding in the eco mode. I...

I won’t try to explain the physics to you. If you are happy riding in a passive and unresponsive position, that’s fine.

If you think that you have good control sitting upright, then you must not be doing anything more than cruising, and that is fine if that’s what you are in to. In an upright position like you describe, you can’t get out of saddle and you can’t balance your bike fore and aft. I guess that is...

Some of us enjoy Stefan’s account of his journey, and some don’t. I think that this could apply to many of us. Personally, I like Stefan and generally enjoy his posts. Americans and Eastern Europeans have a very different way of expressing themselves. Having spent a lot of time working in...

I like your barns. My wife grew up on a Vermont dairy farm. I have grown to appreciate barns and tractors more than I ever thought that I could. I enjoy the diversity on this forum. I do miss David’s stories and pictures from Australia. I don’t think that I am alone.

Thanks. I appreciate the input. This last video has one longish clip going over and down a hill, but I liked the way that it worked with the music and the foliage was too nice to chop.

Here is a video from my side of the river. Cornish to Plainfield and back, (Maxfield Parrish country). The video even begins and ends on the Maxfield Parrish Highway. Please watch in HD.

I have spent many happy days sailing from the Dartmouth Yacht Club on Mascoma and skiing on Okemo. Video Part 2 goes by Okemo. If you are ever in the area and would like a guided tour of the less traveled roads, give me a shout.

That is Ascutney. Ascutney, and Morningside Flight Park are what brought me to this area. I don’t fly any more, but I see no reason to leave. My earlier videos had longer clips, but I was concerned that the videos and clips were too long. I try to vary the length of the clips depending on...

I probably use the inner bar ends about 20% of the time. My bars have 17 degrees of sweep and the 710 grips are quite comfortable, so the position on the grips is pretty nice. I tend to use the inner bar ends more on longer rides. Regarding the river, I don’t know where the access points...

Thank you. I can’t take credit for the scenery. Regarding the music, it has to be in the public domain for YouTube, so the editing software contains a selection of “generic” music. I try to make the music and video a good match. I am still new to video editing, (I am a work in progress). I...

Here are a couple short videos. We are at peak now. If you are not too sick of these foliage videos yet, please give them a look. I do love this area. Please set your YouTube settings to HD, otherwise, it looks like rubbish.

I’m glad that both of you were there and that everyone is ok. Things like that can go from bad to worse in a heartbeat.

I don't know any racers or even fitness riders that use a MUP except maybe for a family outing. Maybe I am in a different world, (Northern New England). We have some big races up here, but we tend to have a fairly small and inclusive cycling community. Most of us seem to be aware that...

This being my first season riding an e-bike, I can’t call myself experienced, (and definitely not mature). Having been a lifelong cyclist, I do find the culture to be very different from conventional cycling and that the devisions within the e-bike community seem to run deep. Conventional...

A traveler comes upon a man, buried in mud up to his neck. He hollers to the man “I”ll pull you out”. The man replies “You better get help, I’m on my horse”. Mud is my least favorite season.

We rode out to the Knapp nature reserve yesterday, (Reading Vermont). We brought along a blanket and some light food. The colors have not disappointed this year, (with the dry summer, it was not predicted to be a very good year for foliage). We met a nice guy with a Giant e-bike, enjoyed the...

I don’t know if it was intentional, (you said “Anyway a lot wisdom comes with maturity :”), but the off topic free speech posts began after the word “mature” was censored, (removed from the title. Stefan has since replaced “mature” with “experienced”, but that could be just as easily censored)...

#1, The Supreme Court has addressed the First Amendment many times, (you are free to look it up). #2, Laws can still be challenged as unconstitutional, (through the courts). #3, Freedoms for all only exist in a free society, (a society that protects freedoms). #4, Your statement there says a...
