    Tried out the Burnaby Foreshore Trail yesterday. Started at the Waste to Energy facility that transforms 25% of Vancouver's garbage into enough electricity to power 16,000 homes: All the missing gaps have been completed as the trail follows the Fraser river: Some of the sights along the...

    Ebike Rebate for BC Canada residents

    Details are out. Get back 1400.00 on a 2000.00 purchase with qualifying income. Sounds too good to be true. What I'm curious about is how this will affect the used ebike market. In my case i just purchased a year old Gazelle C380 for close to what it would now be for a new one after rebate. I...

    Ebike Rebate for BC Canada residents

    If you live in BC and are planning to buy a new ebike, wait until June 1. The province is introducing a rebate program with significant benefits. It will be interesting to see how this affects the market, both for used and new. Here's the link : https://bcebikerebates.ca/

    Hitch bike rack - Gazelle Ultimate C8/C380

    A lot depends on whether you're carrying more than one bike. I only use the single and it's on my car most of the time. When not carrying a bike it's very discrete and doesn't look like some laundry rack hanging off the back of the car unless additional platforms have been added. It was the only...

    Hitch bike rack - Gazelle Ultimate C8/C380

    Another option could be the 1Up. I wouldn't trust a cross bar adaptor to support an electric bike.

    Show us pictures of your cockpit!

    Ha ha, no it's a controller for the DJI drone. I was responding to Prairie Dog who also likes taking drone photos while out and about. I'm just getting into the follow modes and I don't want to ride a bike one handed while holding the controller with the other. Can't fathom anyone even thinking...

    Show us pictures of your cockpit!

    Makes sense. I was hoping to use one mount for either the phone or the controller but I see that wouldn't work using the Quad Lock. Anyway, I've decided to go with what I have. A little bit crowded but it works.

    Old thread I know but it brought up a new question. Would you trust the Quad Lock Universal mount to safely attach the DJI RC controller?? Might be another option........

    Drones on a Bike

    There's lots of videos on youtube that cover the concerns you raised. I've only done the follow mode a few times since I never had a controller mount until this week. From what I've seen online the drone can lose you under certain conditions. I'm guessing you'd probably need side sensors to be...

    Drones on a Bike

    What he said....... I realize it's not a perfect solution but seemed like the best I could source online. Maybe down the road someone could find something better. That's why I started this thread. If you do use a drone while biking you're aware of the limited options for mounting the RC...

    Drones on a Bike

    It is 3D printed so I'm not well versed in how these things will hold up. Just find that of all the mounts I've seen online that are specific to the DJI RC remote this one seems to be the most secure and the controller doesn't wobble at all.. It clamps firmly without using any screws. And the...

    Drones on a Bike

    There seem to be a number of posters that use drones to take photos while biking, especially using " follow " modes. Tons available for the older DJI controller but not much for the RC controller. I've always had issues with the available mounts that seem flimsy and hold the RC controller with...

    Why Roadies Don't Smile-funny article I just read

    Never could figure out the logic of wearing a spandex uniform while going for a leisurely bike ride or dressing up " like a sausage " as described in an earlier thread. Kind of like putting on a Nascar jacket to drive to Costco.....

    What camera do you use on your rides.

    I think your drone capabilities are way above mine. Haven't pushed the Mini 3 to the limit yet but yes it is prone to loosing sight as you mentioned. At least it stops at that point rather than crashing into whatever is blocking it....
