That's a lot of money. I would buy a bike that was legal to ride on the roads in Quebec. For years I commuted 34 mile round trip on a 500 watt bike. My road is a 2.2 mile long hill, culminating in an 18% grade in Pennsylvania. The bike would do 20 mph and had a 16 Amp hour battery. That's going...

Hello Colleen. Are you still riding your Stromer? I know you are very familiar with Stromer, it is a great bike, I wouldn't choose that style of bike for pulling a trailer. I wouldn't choose any torque sensing hub drive for towing because of the frame mount torque sensor can have problems from...

Toy Talmadge Caldwell Jr. and the Marshall Tucker Band. Most of these guys started playing in High School, and most volunteered to join the military and go off to Vietnam. They reformed and became synonymous with the sub genre Southern Rock. This 1973 live version of Can't You See was tight...

The issue using two suspensions is the rebound rate is different on each one, and it's next to impossible to tune them to work properly together. Saddle springs are slow and give the feeling of floating, and seatpost suspension or rear bike suspension are designed to react to terrain fast. When...

Riding with my dog is what I've been doing for a little more than 2 years. She's good. There are dirt roads, farm tracks I regularly ride that I often want her with me, so I just started looking into the tether idea. My heals aren't dug into the idea, I am just in the thinking stage of an idea...

Thanks for sharing your experience. I had to look past the opening sentence for the value, it strikes a negative tone that someone serious about training for more than a half century could easily dismiss the entire post. Yes, instinct, and I understand your experience with the Pitbull breed. My...

Right on the heels of playing Woodstock '69, Leslie West and Mountain continue to tour. They land in 1970 rural Pennsylvania, at my local PBS station and must've looked and sounded like aliens to anyone over 40 years of age. Leslie is doing some things with that guitar, rhythm and lead.

Working dog breeds that aren't allowed to work often become neurotic, destructive and mean. My 2 year old BC has a bed and she never uses it. The only time she's in it is when I have people over and I tell her to "go to bed". They are most happy when they have a job to do. Most of that is sport...

The trails are maintained by volunteers: Michigan’s Dragon at Hardy Dam is groomed by volunteers from the West Michigan Mountain Biking Alliance. Mountain bike organizations are a tough nut to crack. They've been doing all the work for decades and they have the pull and connections to help...

😉 "It's only a hill, get over it!" Said the ebiker.

Because reps from that company attacked members here on the forum; they were booted. There was also a also another incident that I won't go into because I wasn't there. Suffice it to say, I wouldn't do business with a company that has the leadership they do. I have friends that have made...

Nahhhhh. It isn't anti ebike! It plays off the fact that people have range anxiety in everything battery powered. I can be building something with my drill driver and I'll get to the last of the fasteners and try to squeeze out every watt so I don't have to run for a battery. My TV remote will...

Looks like a scam to me. Why don't you email Orbea and ask if shop mikes is a valid reseller?

To a degree, you are correct. Cargo doesn't take the same hard impact that a rigid mount rack, on a bike without suspension. I used something similar several years ago for commuting. Cargo gets shaken, but no hard impacts. Same is true with a handlebar mounted basket on a suspended fork.

I appreciate your concern, I really do. Everyone's experience is different. I've trained herding dogs my whole life. I've trained them for a variety of pursuits. One I trained to be a therapy dog at local veterans hospitals. My current BC is trained for sport. She was catching a Frisbee in...
