I haven't had good luck with the My Tracks app. I used it this week for my commute, and it says that I traveled 14.97 miles each way, but Google Maps says that I went 21 miles each way. Seems like an awfully large variance to be accurate.

Ooh. See if you can't sit on the Selle Anatomica seat and tell us what you think of it! I watched the video on this site about it, and it's appealing. I say this, of course, a mere two months after I spent $105 on a VO Saddle, Model 8. *sigh*

Thanks for the advice so far. At every 500 miles, I'll be looking at every month and a half to two months. Yikes. Still, one tune-up (without tip) equals one tank of gas, which equals one week of driving. So, still a savings.

I agree that $3 is too little, and would aim for $9.99. I already bought a copy to review for you, so now that I've paid the smaller $3 price, this would be a good time to increase it. ;)

So, the Pedego City Commuter documentation recommended a tune-up after 100 miles to check for cable stretching and other bedding-in that occurs as you start using the bike. I mentioned this in a another thread about tune-ups. I checked with Pedego this week for a recommended schedule of...

To clarify, Pedego recommends a tuneup after the FIRST 100 miles, not each 100 miles. I'm planning to email them for their recommended frequency beyond that initial tuneup. I'll post what I am told.

I'm not sure what changes they made might have impacted my riding experience, but whatever adjustments or combination of adjustments did it, I'm glad to have paid the $49 (+$20 tip) for the tune-up. I haven't noticed any difference in the noise of the bike, but I've found the City Commuter to be...

I'm a little late to the conversation, but I'd like to point out that I'm doing a 42-mile round trip commute with my Pedego City Commuter, and am loving it. I'm 5'7" but a bit stockier at 172. I've noticed a definite increase in muscle mass in the short few weeks I've been riding, plus an...

Thanks for the pointer to your thorough write-up. I'm still recovering from the $3,500 in bike and accessory purchases, but will definitely consider this jacket once I get a bit more gas/maintenance savings from riding my new Pedego City Commuter.

Pedego recommends getting a tune-up after 100 miles of riding an electric bicycle. I had mine tuned up after 140 because the shop's hours are too short for me to get my bike in there during the week. Before the tune-up, I had had a weird thing happen, where I'd be chugging along at 20MPH and...

Update: I contacted Pedego about the Burley Travoy, and they told me that they sell a $60 attachment that would make the City Commuter compatible with the Travoy.

Or you can buy insurance that covers both total loss (theft, totaled in an wreck) and loss of components/accessories off of it. And then lock it up with a couple of different types of locks (chain, band, braided steel cable, u-lock) in the hopes that, yes, someone else's bike is a more appealing...

To those who shout at cyclists, Thank you for your words of encouragement as you drive past in your carbon-belching, non-renewable-energy-using vehicle. At least, I think that you're encouraging me. The problem is, you need to work on coming up with shorter sentences to shout to me, because I...

@Ravi Kempaiah, it doesn't look like the TiG would work with step-through models. I did a Google search for "stepthrough," "step-through," and (*grumble*) "girl" and didn't find those words used on the site. It also looks like you'd need a very specific, made-for-bicycles structure to attach it...

I keep getting sidelined from riding to work because of rainy forecasts. I have the Pearl Izumi Men's Elite Barrier Jacket on my Amazon wish list, but at $55, I want to make sure it's the right choice. Also, are there other rainy-weather accessories to make life a little less soggy? Things to...

I have a long span of grooved roads (with the grooves running in the same direction as I'm riding) that I deal with every day I ride. I don't know if it's because of my City Commuter's balloon tires, an adjustment that needs to be made to my bike, or what, but it makes the bike all wobbly the...

I came up with 2.9 years for my bike, assuming 4 days riding/week, 21 miles each way. I factored in estimated actual repairs on my car over three years (actually, repairs on two cars, divided by two... but in reality most of the repairs were on my car). The government pays (I think) $0.52/mile...

Within ten minutes (on a Sunday, no less), I had received my policy! Yowza! I spent more than ten minutes on hold with my credit card company last week. They need to take a page from Velosurance's playbook.

Now that I bought bicycle insurance, I don't need to lock my bike up anymore. (Just kidding. Really! :p)

I just submitted payment for my policy. I'm going to breathe easier on my ride into work on Tuesday! :)
