    Do you wear a mask when you ride?

    Depending upon my surroundings, human that is, I do wear one. If no one is in close proximity, I'd slip it down and give my nostrils a break. My go-to bike path can get somewhat crowded at times.

    Please suggest some black touch-up paint

    You say you need black. Testor makes flat or glossy, whichever suits your needs. I needed a semi-gloss so I used flat black and just hand rubbed it to give it a slight sheen. Great little bottles. I remember using them 50+ years ago during my plastic models stage.

    More People Are Biking These Days — So Why Are Kids Riding Less?

    Because their parents take them to wherever they want to go!! We never had "playdates." We just rode to our friend's houses and probably rode our bikes somewhere else from there.

    NYS eBike Law movement

    Yup, that was me. Didn't matter to the officers involved. They weren't only ticketing, they were confiscating anything with an obvious motor including pedal assist. I began explaining the classification differences to them to no avail. Ran upstairs to get some documented DiBlasio statements to...

    Winter e-biking advices

    If you live in the city or whereabouts that use salt to fight against ice on their streets, I'd advise wiping down your tires and frame to remove any buildup. Your components will last longer. As I do for my cars, I occasionally use 303 aerospace protectant to treat the tires and some of the...

    I started using this mirror attached to my glasses but then I wanted something more substantial. I purchased the EVT Safe Zone Bicycle Helmet Mirror and never looked back (pardon the pun). Much larger field of view and pretty stable as well...
