LOL!!! That comment is too funny for words.😄 Not too long ago I'd get the funny looks and the teasing (ohhhh, that's cheating! Har-har) about my ebike, but all I get now is "how do you like your ebike?", "who made it?", and "what range do you get?" Other cyclists are recognizing my ebike on...

And you trusted this guy? My experience with salesmen says they often know squat about anything, including the cars on the dealership lot. They are the best spreaders of misinformation alongside social media. Saw a big ol' boxy Kia SUV van plugged into the free Level 2 charging unit at the...

PedalUma - that's a very pretty staged photo. Very interesting , too, since a pair put to a wagonette isn't supposed to be coachman driven as this photo implies. It's a sporting vehicle that is supposed to be owner driven. The leather top (used for bad weather) behind the driver's seat is a dead...

Rome said: Never went to Key West Florida. If there local government can ban ebikes they are serious about safety I wonder what the consequences for drunk ebike riding and you kill a flamingo or pelicans. I'm guessing the above post was erased or changed, but just in case folks are wondering...

The adult killed wasn't wearing a helmet. Any simple fall where the head hits the concrete could result in TBI or death. Even from a standstill. Why the local government didn't first and foremost mandate helmet wearing is ignorant. So now all ebikes are relegated to streets instead of walkways...

There are quite a few bypasses for paywalls. I just grabbed this one rather than a perennial favorite archive.org or archive.ph or archive.is From Reddit's r/Piracy forum: "... Some general information you need is that there are two types of paywalls: hard paywalls and soft paywalls. Hard...

Thank you! 😁Trust me that I always, without fail, have a motorist or two slow down to a crawl just to call out their thanks to me when I'm "on the job". It's always heartwarming. I smile and wave to everyone, and have just about everyone wave and smile back. Neighbors ALWAYS stop for a moment to...

Maybe you can have your Porsche Macan back without that $1k oil change charge... GOODBYE GAS Major automaker confirms it will completely abandon gas car after unveiling it’s first-ever electric SUV The famous manufacturer has electrified one of its models By M.A. Loreto of the US Sun...

Is/are there no committee(s) that are focused on litter pick-up in the area? If not, can the local government be encouraged to put something in place to attract volunteers to help with litter clean-up? Our county has a dedicated non-profit organization of volunteers to keep our roads clean, and...

The morning started out with both hubby and I on the tractors to cut the last of the Fall flush of lush grass in the fields before the coming cold weather puts an end to any more growth and gives the mowers a breather until next spring. By the time I'd spent 2 hours riding a mower, I was ready...

18 lovely miles yesterday, sneaking away from the farm for a bit over an hour, and setting on the back burner the list of projects needing my attention. The temps were perfect for a bike ride so I left hubby, who was busy painting Rustoleum on the metal farm gates, and took off down the road. I...

Are these the old carriage roads built by the Rockefellers, or new pathways? We drove the gravel carriage roads a million years ago with our pair, when bikes were restricted as to where they could be ridden. It's been decades so my memory isn't the clearest.

There were 542 riders signed up for the ride yesterday for the Land Trust of Virginia annual benefit. Just up the road, on the opposite side of town at the horse show grounds the annual 5 day Middleburg Classic with over 300 perfectly groomed horses, perfectly groomed riders, and tens of...

That sounds like the Outer Banks in North Carolina. They keep "enriching" the beaches with millions of dollars worth of sand dredged up from off shore sand bars, only for the Atlantic storms to batter the shoreline and erode the sands back into the ocean. In the past decade the sea level rise...

Oh, lord. That's downright disgusting.😠 I have seen only two instances of "tipping" around here - both were a truck load of used tires alongside the gravel roads. Once I saw them a quick call to VDOT had a clean-up crew out the following day to pick up and remove all the discarded tires. VDOT...

Raising hand: I carry a small assortment of zip-ties. Does that count?

Locally discarded from the trades and workers, not the landowners. The tall roadside grass hides the litter through the seasons, so it tends to "grow" if not cleaned up at least once a year. Blow-ins are rare. Trash (mostly empty feed bags) are sometimes blown out of the open beds of trucks, but...

Thank you. 💗54 miles and 9 bags collected. I look at your 100 mile rides - you really do us proud, you know - and wonder how you do it. And I'll say it again - I love your photos. And your cycling territory. As for my ride yesterday, my second to the last day of road clean-up - I "hit the...

@Chargeride That was some gnarly ride there in the beginning! Makes my rides look like old lady rides (which they are, honestly speaking). AWESOME job on those trails-from-the-depths-of-the-underworld. You are either brave or crazy...or both.
