    I'll be up at the Pine Creek Gorge mid-next week. I'll only have a single full day there. Realistically, I can ride about 60 miles total in a day - 30 miles up and 30 miles back. What would you say is the best ~30 miles stretch of the Gorge that I should focus on? Also, would I be missing out...

    Acceptable roof rack for eBikes?

    It's really no problem. Currently, I have a 1 foot by 5 foot piece of plywood that I leave in the bed of the truck. I drilled holes in each corner, and run a ratchet strap through the plywood to my D-Rings. This makes for a sturdy ramp that I use to wheel my bike into the bed. There is no need...

    Seems like this is a hitch rack? Not sure if it would work on the crossbars.

    Acceptable roof rack for eBikes?

    So I want to have a tonneau cover, with the crossbars over the tonneau cover, and the bike on the crossbars. That saris wouldn't let me use the bed cover. This picture sums it up more exactly. The problem is what do i use to carry the eBike on.

    Acceptable roof rack for eBikes?

    Hi, sorry that I was not clear. I do not plan to lift the bike onto the roof of my truck. I plan to get some cross bars that will span the width of my truck bed. I will mount the bike on those crossbars. So I only have to get the bike up on the truck bed. Like the pic below. The problem is...

    Acceptable roof rack for eBikes?

    I would like to outfit my pickup truck with a tonneau cover and add some cross bars over the tonneau. I would like to mount the bike on these crossbars. I would prefer this to a hitch mounted carrier, so the bike is better protected up higher from the road. I figure a bike roof rack would work...

    Velosurance

    I took out velosurance but honestly i am skeptical of it paying out. I haven't read many/any reports online of it paying out. I pay $306 for $5500 bike with 500 deductible. I may cancel it come winter. You should read the sample policy on the website, the bike needs to be locked to an...

    Bike trails in niagara falls area?

    Thank you very much for this. I was going to combine a trip to niagara falls with a trip to watkins glen/finger lakes. I saw in another post of yours that you recommended some trails in the watkins glen area. I won't have time to do all of these trails on my trip, so which ones would you...

    Atom Lynx 6 27.5 Pro

    Made the same mistake on my BH. Just buy a chain with 136 links and cut to size. Shimano makes a few 11 speed chains in this size. Due to covid they may be harder to find.

    How do you carry your food supplies while on an extended ride

    I have an insulated lunch bag, with an ice pack. I usually throw this in a pannier for the ride. The pannier usually ends up smelling of food, despite the lunch being in the lunch bag, which I don't like. I was thinking of bungee tying a small cooler to my rear rack, but this is rather awkward...

    eBike Robberies and security Problems

    I have my bike alarm on the frame by the rear wheel. It is usually covered in mud. The alarm is secured using Panduit zip ties, and would need a diagonal cutter to be removed. These are really strong zip ties.

    Thanks for that tip. Are the waterfalls generally dried up at this time of year, or do they start flowing after a rainfall? I noticed most of the waterfalls at lehigh gorge were dry last week, maybe its just this time of year.

    Has anybody hiked the falls trail at rickets glenn state park? Is it worth a trip? I was thinking of checking into a hotel in wilkes barre for a night on monday, then biking the susquehanna warrior trail one day and walking the rickets glen trail the next.
