    NPR Radio E-Bike Story as heard on 'Here and Now'

    Regarding the video on uplift vs. Ebike. It reminds me of the time I wanted to do the bike down Haleakala in Maui. My GF at the time and I went to Maui to run the Maui Marathon. Mid-week I suggest we do the tour and ride down Haleakala. She refused to do it and said if you don’t bike up...

    NPR Radio E-Bike Story as heard on 'Here and Now'

    @TForan - Only because he cheats, or at least that’s what those that have played with him say :) @Kurt in CT - Sadly I agree, that was part of the reason Iwent with the black bike. The controversy is coming.

    A CCS 300-mile Review

    Nice review, i’m Within a few miles of 300 as well. Ive given up on the fenders and just accept it. I don’t feel the need for a suspension seat post, but did raise the handlebar and went to a 650mm straight bar. I rode my carbon road bike today and it was quite a shock how far down the drop...

    Saw a Black CCS in MPLS at Crave west end 8/2/18

    @Fran - Yes I did yell, but you were clipping along. I’m in the red townhouses about 100 years before it hits the greenway. @Jeffrios - I thought about joining, but am not active on facebook. I have an account but have never posted, don’t even have a picture up. Maybe one of these days :)

    Saw a Black CCS in MPLS at Crave west end 8/2/18

    I’m updating an old post as yesterday (8/2/18) I saw a black CCS locked at Crave in West end. Mine was locked up one stall away. Just curious if anyone here owns the bike. From my original post in April.... After I finished my ride today, I was out on my deck overlooking the Kennilworth trail...

    Would you be willing to share the name of the bike shop?

    Is e-Biking Cheating?

    Not at all. I still ride my road and gravel bikes, the Ebike gets me out the door when I wouldn’t otherwise ride. Yesterday we had 25MPH winds and there is no way I would have been out riding if I didn’t take the Ebike. Today I’m going to ride the gravel bike.

    Very nice. I’ve had my CCS for a little over a month and will have an E-Fatty as well by end of year.

    Klunkerz - Great Documentary on Mountain Biking

    I just watched a documentary called Klunkerz on Amazon. It's a history of mountain Biking and its origin in the 1970's. Very well edited using archival footage and current interviews. What really struck me was how (IMHO) Ebikes today are in their infancy as mountain bikes were in the 70's. I...

    Poll: Do you wear a helmet when riding

    I saw a thread today where the person posted about a crash and bought a helmet after the crash. That made me wonder how many people here where a helmet when riding. If you choose sometimes or never, I would be curious as to why. Hopefully we can keep this discussion respectful of a persons...

    Crosscurrent S: Questions and Answers, Open Thread

    I believe goo gone is more for removing sticker residue, goof-off removes the decal.

    Crosscurrent S: Questions and Answers, Open Thread

    I used goof-off to remove the decal on my titanium gravel bike. Should work for the brushed aluminum. There was some slight ghosting left from the decal and an Ultra Fine scotch bride pad removed that. My primary reason for buying black was the juiced logo can barely be seen.

    CCS minimal fender option

    I like that front fender option. I wonder if the same could be achieved by cutting the front stock fender.

    CCS owners, what power level do you use most of the time?

    Eco and 1 for me, though hills are not an issue here

    Throttles

    I’ve yet to experience that, though I suspect I will as the weather warms (if it ever does :confused: )

    Throttles

    I’ve only had my bike a couple weeks and havent used the throttle often. I will say it is convenient for a couple of hills on my route, but I don’t think I’d miss it if it weren’t there. Of course minneapolis is pretty flat other than riding along the river.

    Will 2018 be a "Big Year" for eBikes?

    Absolutely. My deck overlooks the kennelworth bike trail in Minneapolis. If I sit out there during the evening commute, I’ll easily see a dozen or more ebikes riding the trail. IMO - all one needs to do is ride one once and they will want one. Was similar to the 1st time I drove a friends...

    Grocery run, mods, and some photos

    I too bought the wheels up bag for my CCS after seeing this. I originally bought the phone bag without matching sides and it didn’t fit, so I put that on my gravel bike.
