    We did get out today - more to follow from @Prairie Dog , and although it was snowy it was a beautiful day. We didn't ride too far as I managed to hurt my self a bit (just teetered over after sinking my front wheel into a foot of snow - right where a large tree was sitting after being blown...

    Hope we get that sun tomorrow but i think the forecast says otherwise.

    Looking for rear light suggestions

    I got one from Amazon - and it works well. So far... YMMV https://www.amazon.com/Padonow-Smart-Bike-Tail-Light/dp/B07V2KSPXT/ref=sr_1_6?crid=2ST5YZZ1KXICS&keywords=padonow+smart+bike+tail+light&qid=1647959345&sprefix=padanow%2Caps%2C107&sr=8-6

    I don't normally notice it, but then again, I do have an appointment with an Audiologist next week... :D

    Rode my ISP shod Intrigue up on my local park again yesterday. Got filthy as it was a nice mix of dry, muddy, snow and ice. Metrics: Route: Anything up top (middle of route) as a good mix of dry and wet, but edges were snow, ice and running water/mud. This particular area, which is top...

    My riding shoes are often an old pair of Ecco Biom spikeless golf shoes. They work great with MTB flat pedals - your feet aren't going anywhere...

    Interesting trike

    In the Ebiking with Disabilities sub forum, I've detailed what my wife bought - a Mastretta City. Similar idea - and maybe a bit more realistic. https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/the-joys-of-ms.35219/page-4 I've ridden it and it's pretty fun and quite stable. She hasn't done much...

    From their website: Researchers at the Mineta Transportation Institute, San Jose State University, are conducting a survey to gather your thoughts and preferences about cycling among older adults. Your opinions are very important, no matter how much or little you cycle, or whether you cycle at...

    Blue and yellow should stay right now. A symbolic gesture is better than nothing - intended or not.

    Instead of banning certain members...

    Yeah - been watching him for years. Great schtick - nails it as he usually does. I also love his take on Boris Johnson. Very political of course (UK) - and the usual spicy language.

    Tie wraps need a trim. ;) Nail clippers do a nice flush trim if you don't have micro shears. I do like the the look of a muddy bike. It means you've had a good day!

    Ebike recommendation for Victoria, BC Commute

    Welcome to the forums. I think your budget expectations are a little low, but it's always good to have a starting point. For example, the Biktrix starts at @2899 but that's with no extras. I'll step back now and let others who know more than I expand on options for you. But, before I go, after...

    Jealousy is some sort of sin I have been told. Guilty as charged!

    Came across the same listing for the Spank Bars and now at $440 CDN. Retail price is $114 USD. Had a look at Amazon policies and you can in fact report price gouging - so I did. I probably will again too - but I'm not going to hold my breath for too long on seeing any changes. But the...

    Instead of banning certain members...

    I think we'd all be better informed if you could be more specific? Which post(s) is/are your issue? I hope it's not just the actual subject, because as members we do have opinions on how to deal with the Trolls - and of course you and the rest of the EBR staff have the ultimate power in that...

    Instead of banning certain members...

    As many have brought up concepts about freedom of speech with a definitive USA slant, I figured I best check out where EBR is hosted. Yup - tinsel town is where it's registered. I wonder how many people block that guy? We can look up all kind of metrics as to who has posted what, gotten what...

    Any ideas on a Water Bottle Cage for Lectric 2.0?

    My last purchase was a sidepull cage from Giant. It's got a small compartment to carry ether a 9 or 12 tool multi-tool. I got the 9 tool version. LINK to USA Page Very handy for those days where I don't want to carry anything but water. I ride a full suspension E-MTB so I don't have as many...

    Chili Verde

    I have a significantly different picture from my ride today. That's Dale, @Prairie Dog 's brother in law. We rode in some interesting conditions with some lovely winds (often gusting over 50km/h)... I suppose that could be considered spicy, so we're on subject. :cool:

    I bought some Upanbike bars for my wife's trike. Priced OK and seem ok. I did poke around on Amazon, and their pricing on bike parts these days is insane. $303 for a Spank Ozzy Trail 780 w/Vibrocore. Locally they are $140. I am seeing this a lot on pricing there. Yes I know it's a...
