    Which bike to choose?

    I did the same thing and deleted it. I have a non electric Electra townie and it is NOT a climber. its not the motor n that bike its the geometry. Having said that it is my preferred ride to the the shops in my town centre. 1/2 mile away.

    Griz Attacks and Kills Bicyclist in Montana

    That is not what I said or inferred. Again your over romantizing of how a firearm would be used is great from a TV or story perspective. Or with your expert knowledge and superior skill you would fair better dumping a full mag blindly into the night. The next time you are in the wild make...

    Griz Attacks and Kills Bicyclist in Montana

    This is totally irresponsible to pull a trigger on a target that you cannot see. There are far tooo few details to state they needed bear spray let alone a "Glock". i.e Where was food stored? Where was garbage stored? Did she brush here teeth while on the trail. etc... IMHO you need to...

    Shoes and pedals, I'm confused

    This was an informative thread. I currently have stock pedels on my ebike. Normally I ride with a firm set of keen hiking sandals. I was considering going clipless BUT after reading this thread. I don't think that clipless is a true necessity for me.

    Charger Replacement

    Update. the first charger came in on the 2nd less than 1 week after the LBS requested it. the cost was less than $200.00 USD YMMV based on location. Turns out my LBS didn't know the full process on ordering replacement parts for the Ebikes. Overall it was a scary but it looks like the...

    Charger Replacement

    Follow up Giant came though with a charger as well. and for both chargers i will spend less than the grin satiator. so now I have redundancy. Actually I did address the standardization issue you neglected to read it.

    Charger Replacement

    This is not about expense, this is about logistics. You are confusing the issues. My charger is not in route to me. via Bike24. The smugness of the DIY crowd is a facade. when the forum is littered with smoking engines and batteries, wiring faults etc Having said that we may do a DIY kit...

    Charger Replacement

    While I appreciate opensource and or standardization via ISO or other agency we are not there yet you bicycles. Comparing a logo'd bottle of water to electrical engineering specifications is an over-simplification at best and idiotic at worst. Do you have shimano shifters? Please let me know...

    Road Tires for EXPLORE E+ 1 GTS?

    Rolling mass really is another roadie wives tale: GCN rotating mass I plan on riding the crosscuts until they need replacement. then move to a commuter specific tread. But i'll think i'll need ice spikes before then.
