    Bike racks. What do you use, and why?

    Unless you have a hitch, +1 on the Saris bones. Been using one for years. 45lb ebike plus my wife's 25lb Raleigh without any problems.

    What is your security set-up?

    They'll always go for the weakest link. It's probably a stiffer penalty for destroying public property than stealing ones bicycle.

    The absurdity is that the author never rode an ebike!

    Carry Essentials

    In addition to the above I include an extra 10 dollar spoke magnet in case mine should fly off. I don't think my bike would work without it. A presta to schrader valve converter in case there's issues with my CO2 cartridges and I have to find a service station for air for which I'd also need a...

    More and more e-bikes!

    NYC is showing major increases as well, though I haven't seen any E-citibikes since they were removed with a too powerful front braking issues.

    Bike class restrictions

    Personally I do have a class III bike. I bought it for its lightweight and the fact that it looks more like a bicycle than a motorcycle. So happens my comfortable cruising speed fluctuates just below or at 20 mph. There are human powered bikes whizzing bye me all the time. The only...

    Bike class restrictions

    I'll say it again: Speed limit not Class limit! Just as it is with any other vehicle that rides on tera firma.

    Show us what's in your toolkit

    Most of the above plus a tire gauge, flashlight and a presta to schrader adapter just in case. This weekend I plan on adding a spare spoke magnet that the speed sensor uses to measure mph. Helpless if it's flung off and cannot be located.

    What is your security set-up?

    For that price, I don't see how it's going to fold my laundry, cut my lawn and cook my dinners.

    What is your security set-up?

    Basically, I'm a casual rider who rides mostly in the confines of NYC, therefore, I've never left my bike out of sight except for the one time when I asked a police officer to watch it for me as I ran into a deli to grab a quick soda. He was kind enough to do so and exclaimed what a impressive...

    Bosch Performance Line CX draggy

    I believe I have similar circumstances with a performance speed motor on my ride. When there is less resistance or torque upon the pedal, like when you reach the point of changing to a higher gear, the vibration or shuddering is felt through the pedals. Almost like chain wobble but that's not...

    Colorado Bike Speeding Tickets

    I'm all for speed limit rather than class limit, though I'd like to see 20 mph posted as the limit in a relatively empty bike path. In a shared bike/walking path even 15mph seems high. Common sense dictates slowing down in a crowded area but there are those that would still go 15 mph. $100...
