What's a shoe? Seriously, I haven't worn a pair in what, 40 years? Sandals all the way, baby. In winter, it's 2 pairs of wool socks w/ them to keep my toes from turning blue and falling off. In Florida and Hawaii, it's....winter? What's winter? Needless to say, I go w/ the flat pedals on my...

Very stylish. W/ a few more improvements, I might start wearing a helmet. If it were me though, I wouldn't depend on your average distracted driver keying on the turn signals, and it gives them another excuse to use their time tested excuse......but ocifer, I didn't see the...

A motorcycle/old style bike mirror is what you want, as others have said. Something that sticks up higher than the H bars so you can see what's in it at a glance. The mirrors on the end of the bars mean you have to take your eyes well off the road to ck them. I've been buying these for years and...

It's as others have said. Find another bike shop, the one you went to doesn't know what they're doing.

Are you talking about theft insurance? I would look very carefully at all the teeny tiny fine print. Insurance companies are notorious for having exclusions that are hidden or vague. Having lived in hurricane areas, I know all about this subject. If your roof is damaged, the wind insurance...

Agreed, the weed smell from cars is overpowering. The stuff we had in the 60's didn't smell like that. They've over engineered the stuff and it's frankenweed now. Not cool to be driving like that. You just want to take the edge off things a little (I guess, I stopped many, many years ago), not...

"I was happy with what I accomplished, legs turned to jelly, abs were burning and heart pounding out of my chest. Man, that doesn't sound like a accomplishment to me, it sounds like something to avoid at all costs, especially out in the boonies!

Most scientists now suspect that 50% of people may be infected w/ this virus and be asymptomatic. I operate under the assumption that everyone I come around has it, and every surface I touch is infected. There is no other safe way to do this. We're not risking just our health and lives, but...

Sure, you could try that. Some people use them to walk their dog. After checking out how that went on the video below, I'd say there might be a few minor problems though.

I very much suspect the hub motor. Know you don't want to hear that. If you have a new controller and a fresh battery, I would suspect something in the hub motor, even if the test showed ok. There's not much left after verifying that the first two things I mentioned are working properly. I had...

I think slime looses a little bit of it's effectiveness over time. I generally deflate the tire, squeeze it out, and put more in once or twice a year. The fresh stuff looks a lot different than the stuff that was rolling abound in the tube for six months. The only thing to do at this point is...

I've never liked the idea of tubeless bike tyres. There's dozens of sharp spokes on a rim, and it only takes one to break and create havoc. True, this could happen w/ a tubed tyre too, but bike rims flex, they're thin walled aluminum, and their narrow design means there isn't much to keep...

Wow, everyone made fun of the Gremlin back when it was new, but it looks totally cool now, unlike the eflow flight bike, which is so ugly only a mother could love it. What WERE they thinking?

Thanks for the reminder. I have a cheapo Ancheer eBike that I dearly love. This is my second one, as I flat wore out the first. Not sure how many miles were on the first one, never had any issues w/ the motor. There's a youtube video where the guy shows how to lube the plastic gears in the hub...

You might be getting a harmonic vibration. That's always a possibility. They can be tricky to track down, but the usual drill is to loosen, then re tighten, every fastener on the bike and see if this helps. I was a Toyota dealership mechanic back in the day, and when the Feds here in the US...

It's about what one would expect from Mr Space Cadet his own self. Is there a way that he could be the first one put up in one of them rockets?

I lived up in that area. It's really a city built for an Eskimo. The winters are not good. Big Oil and the auto manufacturers killed all the wonderful trolleys and streetcars in cities all across the US.

I had one called a Worx. It worked great (worxed?), but it was smaller than a full size mower so you had to run back and forth a lot to get the yard mowed, which almost killed me in Florida heat.

I was in the Army for like 20 minutes. This was during the Vietnam draft period, and we were having our physicals. During the swearing in stuff they asked me if I or any of my relatives had ever been involved in a resurrection against the United States. I looked at the sarge like he was an idiot...

"If your riding skills are above average, your risk will be lower" I wish that were so, but whether or not you are killed or maimed on a bike is nearly always totally dependent on that loose nut behind the wheel of a car. Something every motorcyclist knows full well. You can do everything right...
