A park about 1/2 mile from me is building a bicycle pump track. I have never ridden on one and am looking for some words of wisdom before I try it.

How can you tell if the bearings suck on any given bike. Seen or unseen?

Super glue works very well on some applications but shoe soles are not one of them. Superglue requires a very clean (use alcohol) non porous surfaces, no gaps and the glue on one side only. A well superglued joint is very strong and durable. I have a butter dish that has been superglued that...

There are some and most know who you are that should not be doing any mechanical diagnosis on stuff. In this case it sounds like the shoe fits. Blaming someone else in this case is just wrong.

My neighborhood is loaded with Specialized e-bikes.

Check Consumer Reports regarding bicycle helmets.

I had a loud electric horn on my last bike that just made people mad no matter how short of a beep I used. I removed it.

Hypoid #90 gear oil. A terrific high pressure lubricant that doesn't get squeezed out of tight bearing surfaces. Add some Teflon powder if you like. Can you find a better low speed chain lubricant, I doubt it. Is it oily, you bet it is. Just a little experience I had. I have very long piano...

I remember going through Gary Indiana when the yellow sulfur smoke was so thick you couldn't take a deep breath or see very far ahead of yourself.

This is my third e-bike, a Ride1Up Prodigy and couldn't be happier with it.

That is true for a tractor or fork lift but not when it comes to the weight and volume of your fuel in an automobile etc. A gallon of gasoline is 6 pounds and will propel a small Honda motorcycle 125 miles and work when it is 30 degrees below zero. When a battery that weighs 6 pounds is...

The way the car companies are jumping into the EV market makes me think they are counting on or know of better batteries coming soon. There has to be something on the horizon for them to be investing so heavily in the EV market.. What we now have in battery performance leaves a lot to be...

I tend to agree with this analysis.

GET JUICED

"Those bikes would kill you around the secondary roads here." Looks like fat tire bicycle is the safest solution for you.

Mistakes happen. Some are not used to flying and don't realise the normal precautions to packing for flying.

That bothered me at first but then realized if I had a slight pause in peddling the power would shut or so determined it was a good thing to stay on a bit. I just use my brake for immediate shut off if needed.

The market is now saturated. Many jumped on the bandwagon with electric bikes and found they don't ride like they thought so there is a glut of machines out there that are not being used. They will sit around for a while, batteries deteriorating and they will be sold for pennies on the dollar.

As the current power plants get older and older slowly new cleaner energy sources will be developed and with a little luck it will be cheaper and clean like fusion. What and how fast things happen no man knows. Necessity speeds development up quickly. By the latest info the world is using as...

The brake pad material and the breaking in of the pads has a lot to do with the stopping power.
