    Metro which is which?

    The second link (the black one) is for the new 2014 model. The other one is the older version of the bike.

    Thudbuster Suspension Seat Post

    Will adding a Thudbuster reduce stress on the bicycle? It seems like it would absorb some of the stress placed upon the wheel and frame, however, it is not taking any weight of the bike so I'm not sure. Also the shock absorption is higher up as opposed to a full suspension bike. I don't want...

    Where do you draw the line of what is an e-bike??

    I understand the market for these e-scooters and I am not against them for that. I guess what bothers me is lumping them into the e-bike category. I worry about them affecting the overall feeling toward e-bikes as well as the effect they might have on pending legislation regarding e-bikes. I...

    Neo Carbon Review

    Please let us know the brand and size. When mine wear out I was hoping to do the same. I was thinking of a bit larger Marathon 440. I might ask Santa fro a Thudbuster too!

    Glasses

    Thanks Ravi and James, but too rich for my blood. Those both look nice, but I have five kids to feed. We'll really just 2, but I am hoping I can find something much cheaper! Once and a while Oakley has a invite only warehouse sale, maybe I'll try to sneak into it! Vern

    Glasses

    Can someone please recommend a pair of sunglasses that would be good for my commute? The other day was pretty windy and I kept getting junk in my eyes. There is also a section of my commute that is a gravel road where junk flies up at me. Keep in mind that I really don't like sunglasses and...

    Where do you draw the line of what is an e-bike??

    I was looking over some of Court's latest reviews and saw the ones for: Link Removed Echobike Always (no longer exists) I know being an e-bike owner and supporter of the movement, I should feel some sort of kinship with these, but something about these types of e-bikes really bugs me. To me...

    I'm trying to commute every day in May. I like the rhyme! I hope I can do it. So far I have the first 2 days done!! A few problems: My bike is getting a bit noisy and there is a vibration/hum when I climb hills. I have 170 miles on it and have done absolutely no maintenance, besides air in...

    The tail light I picked up at Performance Bike Store-I don't remember what it was. The under seat pack is so old it took it off of my Old Trek. They still sell things like it though. It is the perfect size to hold a few tools and a spare tube. The headlight was from Amazon: It was a good...

    What speed does pedal assist turn off on Easy Motion electric bikes?

    I know you don't often need those extra gears on an e-bike, but I like knowing that they are there in case I run out of battery. I would not feel stranded on my Neo Carbon if the battery died. It is heavy, but lighter than most and I have enough gears to compensate. Best of luck to you. I...

    What speed does pedal assist turn off on Easy Motion electric bikes?

    The Dash is faster. If you are in decent shape you can top 30. I almost bought a Dash, but when I test rode it I was not thrilled with the brakes and lack of gears. If you want one of the fastest bikes, go Dash. If you want a pretty fast bike with great stopping power from hydraulic brakes...

    Has anyone seen/ridden IZIP E3 Peak (full suspension bike)?

    I guess we'll both have to have multiple bikes. My wife is going to kill me!! Still WAY cheaper than a new car!

    Has anyone seen/ridden IZIP E3 Peak (full suspension bike)?

    I emailed Larry asking him about it. It looks interesting!!!! It is a prototype and he said that it should be out in August or September. It looks good. Hopefully it is affordable too! It has to be priced under the Haibike!!

    My bike thinks it's GOD or maybe the Devil, or both! Here is a conversation that I have with my bike in my weak moments when I'm getting tired: Me: Can't we go just a little bit faster? BIKE: Pedal harder! Me:I am getting tired a little more help please. Speed is fun. BIKE: Pedal Harder. Me...

    You have narrowed it down to some great choices. I'm sure that Court and Chris will chime in with more specific recommendations based on your requirements and desires, but hopefully you can get to a dealer and try them out for yourself. Don't count out the Interceptor II. It is actually...

    Commuter Log

    My goal is to bike commute at least two days per week. This week I actually accomplished it! Today was awesome. I had my best times yet 37mins to work and 44 mins home. This is honestly only about 15 to 20 minutes longer than it would have taken me in the car. More people should really do...
