    Do Bosch chargers fail?

    I have a 2 and 4. The 2 gets hotter than the 4 for whatever reason. I charge with it if I'm not in a hurry 'cause longevity. I have tried putting a fan in front of the 2 and it keeps it cool to the touch. I don't usually do it, but you could probably skip the external coolers & just use the...

    Wireless Earbuds for cycling

    Maybe this is a good time to go start a thread about the dangers of riding with earbuds. This one here is about earbuds that work well for cycling :)

    California Assembly member proposes driver's license for e-bikes

    Wack. A license to ride a bike is about the dumbest idea ever. Instead of focusing on what people are riding, maybe enforcement of HOW they're being ridden is more appropriate. You don't need a motor to do stupid.

    Wireless Earbuds for cycling

    Yeah, I figured that out by sticking my head in front of a fan with no helmet lol. It isn't the straps. But - it should be a good way to evaluate all these different earbuds & find out which is the quietest. Have a few sets at work right now, but once I get them all back home, gonna give that...

    Wireless Earbuds for cycling

    Interesting. So it's the helmet strap that makes the noise? Always seemed to me that the wind noise was generated at the ear, but it might be worth a shot. It is really close - so close that stem-type earbuds won't work because of the strap. I tried the Soundcores today. They came out after...

    Wireless Earbuds for cycling

    Wondering if y'all have a favorite. I've been using Jabra Elite 7 for months - mostly love them for cycling & gym because of the physical buttons. Not all earbuds work with gloves. I just picked up a set of Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro that might replace the Jabras though - we'll see. I didn't...

    What kind of e-bikes do thieves prefer?

    The bikes they prefer to steal are the easy ones. Make yours harder to steal than the others around it. Best practice is to store it inside your home or workplace. Not only for security, but bikes that live inside last a lot longer. But if it has to be locked somewhere, secure it in a...

    The Citi bike experience - New York edition

    I always considered advertising the dark side. It was my 2nd major. One of the last classes of my senior year, a professor and mentor said to a bunch of us - raise your hand if you have a problem lying to people. Mine was the only one that went up. Aside from product photography, I never...

    Making an adapter for MIK to fit a JandD top case

    Back with a short-term followup after a week of commuting an hour each way. First thought is - why did I not do this sooner? I hit several birds with one stone here. First and most obvious is the ability to quickly take this with me. Maybe not so obvious is the ease and speed of...

    The Citi bike experience - New York edition

    I had to travel to the city for work, and decided to stay a few extra days for giggles. Because why not? If I have to spend a day traveling there and a day back, I might as well spend a few days poking around. When I added the extra days, I knew exactly what I wanted to do...ride bikes around...

    Making an adapter for MIK to fit a JandD top case

    Thank you. I also wanted to take a moment and comment on the bag itself. I have maybe 1500 miles on this thing and like it more every time I use it. It's very well made - reminds me a lot of Wolfman motorcycle tank bags but with more whizbangs. You start to notice little details over time...

    Making an adapter for MIK to fit a JandD top case

    After searching high and low, it turns out that nobody makes what I wanted or it's perpetually out of stock. I wanted a good size top case with some expansion that could carry enough for a day trip. And I wanted something with MIK compatibility for a quick connect/disconnect. The J and D Rear...

    I think I understand New York's ebike fire problem a little better now.

    Yeah, probably. But that's probably not all of them either. That's a pretty big pile. It's also hard to say if the ones visible in the photo are in good condition. I'm not saying Arrow batteries caused this, but they were in the neighborhood at the time.
