https://la.streetsblog.org/2019/02/01/l-a-river-bike-path-downtown-gap-closure-project-input-meetings-underway/ Would also love for the city to connect the Arroyo Seco Bike Path to the LA River. It’s onky about 1 1/2 miles perhaps through Figueroa, especially after what’s been done to the...

@KLee the handle bars are awesome. The best modification I’ve made so far due to the slight rise of 2.5” and the 45 degree sweep. It ergonomically fits. It’s like holding on to a wheel barrel and provides me not only with comfort to my wrist and neck, but confidence in controlling and...

@SirJonathan I gotta say after putting about 50 miles with these Jones h bars, I really love them. The 2.5” raise for me is perfect. I’m 5’8” 150” and with the standard bar I was leaning too far forward which numbed my hands and strained my neck a bit. Also, when turning would have to extend...

@Fildil I just got the Jones h bar loop with the 2.5 inch riser. Love it. Now trying to decide where I want to place my Hafny. Have any pictures showing where you placed yours? So much room on the new handle bars I’m going to get one for the right too.

Good article. I definitely benefit from re-positioning my brake levers inward away from the grips. It allows me to maintain a firm grip of the bike with three fingers and thumb, while my forefinger is on the brake lever in the ready to pull the trigger so to speak. Makes me feel safer when...

Is this an issue only with the CCX? I haven't read any complaints of this occurring with the RCS. Is the down tube wider on the RCS?

@Mike W Same here. I have 180 mile in on my RCS since the 1st of the year and absolutely love it. Always in Race mode I can do 30-35 miles without a sweat averaging 21 mph with top speeds in the low 30’s. Have had a number of issues all always addressed and on top of that received gift cards for...

I use the Hafney handle bar mirror. It works best when placed right next to the grips so it requires bringing the brake lever further toward the middle. I actually prefer my brake levers in because I only want no more than 2, preferably 1, finger on the lever. Hafny New Handlebar Bike Mirror...

I went a cheaper route and found one on Amazon that’s just a horn, no separate alarm although there is one similar to the one sold on Juiced. I have used the horn and it is helpful. I use it only for cars, not pedestrians and only when I’m riding on a bike path along a street or on a street. I...

The first bike I tried out was the Cafe from Vintage Electric Bikes over at Bike Attack Electric, 2904 Main Street. They’ve got a great selection and good place to ride. Second place I went to was Velo Pasadena, 2562 E. Colorado. Best guy to talk to there about ebikes is Raul. I tried a Stromer...

I haven’t tested the difference between R and S. I’m just usually on R. On R I can maintain speeds of 28-30 on a nice easy cadence. It’s hard to get above that on the RCS unless you’re going down hill.

I’ve been wearing Nike Air Force 1’s. My favorite sneaks. But for me they’re seriously comfortable and have thick soles. Been wearing jeans and long sleeve mock neck zip up shirts and a down vest. It’s chilly in the morning and riding an ebike I’m going fast and not exerting strenuously so I...

I started at 58.8 and ended at 49. However, at the tail end it was blinking because it seemed to drop to 44, which is my set limit, so I cruised down to mode 3 until I got home. Where it read 49. It’s already recharged for tomorrow. The elevation is crazy and I’m trying to push it as hard as I...

On my RCS today. Mainly R mode. Doing it again tomorrow morning just changing a few routes.

I topped out at 32 on my RCS. In Los Angeles “the last 3 days, the rain was unstoppable, it was always cold, no sunshine,” but tomorrow is my day off and no rain in the forecast, will be runnin’ down a dream! I’m having fun just charting my course on google maps.

Had my first ride to a Trader Joe’s. Crowded, of course, but didn’t have to deal with parking and had a smile all the way there and back. Passed through an intersection and noticed another e- cyclist too.

I just got back from NYC, I live in Los Angeles. I swear my son and I were counting ebikes compared to "acoustic" and it was about 60/40 split to acoustic. Surprised to hear NYCE closed and that there are so few stores. Love NYC, but as soon as I landed back in LA I was glad to be home...
