    My New Niner RLT e9 RDO!

    Hi Dutchman, Thanks for the push; I've been meaning to update my post now that I've had some time with the bike. I'm 200 miles in, and I LOVE my bike. Absolutely love it. In a perfect world, I'd change a few things, but it's a well-thought-out bike. It has plenty of power. As I mentioned...

    My New Niner RLT e9 RDO!

    I bought the bike at The Bicycle Company in Hendersonville, NC. It’s a tiny place. I had pretty much already decided on the bike and went searching for a local dealer. They were responsive, calling us back when they got a bike in that I could take for a test drive, and keeping us appraised of...

    My New Niner RLT e9 RDO!

    Almost ready to pull the trigger on an ebike

    The Trek Domane+ HP is a great bike, but it's really set up as an endurance bike, not a gravel bike; no braze-ons and 35mm tires. But the purple color makes me swoon, as does the price! I tried the Giant Revolt last spring. I might have unfairly judged it after disliking the motor on a Yamaha...

    Almost ready to pull the trigger on an ebike

    Hello All - Another old fart here looking to make cycling fun again. I'm a 67-year-old woman who's been on the back of a tandem for 35+ years and many tens of thousands of miles. You might say, I've had an acoustic ebike for all those years. While I did what I could, there is no doubt that my...
