    This E-Bike With Built-In ChatGPT Is the Epitome of Overblown AI Hype

    Steam powered, balls to the wall. Very Steampunk.

    Bicycle dog leash???

    I have had great success with ACME dog whistles from England. The 575 takes time to learn, but it can't be beat for a variety of commands. I can't see me being able to use it while riding. I've also used ACME silent whistle (not actually silent) and I could use that while riding. She's so...

    Bicycle dog leash???

    I appreciate all the comments and concerns. The comment with regard to the rail trail was only about that video looking like my trail (see my avatar pic), I don't intend to ride with the dog on a public trail. I have miles of farm tracks and dirt roads to ride. Thanks, Dave, for your friend's...

    Bicycle dog leash???

    Thanks for the reply. I need to know the good, the bad and the ugly. I've owned a lot of herding dogs, and the border collies are by far the smartest and train easy if you take the time. That said, they can turn on a dime at full speed and that's my biggest concern. The rear axle leash would be...

    Bicycle dog leash???

    I've been riding the back field with my dogs for years. My 2-year-old Border Collie needs more. I've trained her well since she was 8 weeks, she is controllable. Border Collies can run 30 mph for fairly long distances, and nothing makes mine happier than to run with me on the bike. I will keep...

    California DMV getting tough on e-motos?

    You are arguing. The Honda Grom is a fuel injected sport motorcycle, designed to be raced in class. You have tried to turn this into something personal. Very typical of every argument made online. Days go by and you can't let it go. The comparison made was about scooter, moped and low power...

    Replace tire???

    That's a big cut, I'd replace it as soon as possible. Amazon has a lot of 20x3 to choose from with fast shipping. Most show Sunday or Monday for prime members. If you ever wanted a different tread, now would be the time to do it.

    If my wife knew... she'd kill me.

    My biggest fear is that when I die my wife will sell my bicycles for what I told her they cost. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger!

    How do i make my rear rack / basket more shock absorbing for food delivery?

    If you have front suspension on your bike, you could add a front rack and set the suspension for a soft ride. https://www.topeak.com/global/en/product/1285-tetrarack-m1-(mountain)

    SHOW us YOUR PIX here .... Odd, WeiRd ,UnUSuAl or EyE CaTchIng things from your rides

    They can be funny. The tom just came right up to me like he wanted something ($?), the hen just blocked the gate. My buddy took the perfect shot. By far the most aggressive birds are geese. They nest on the ground, and they will go after you if you wonder too close.

    These are toll turkeys on our rail trail. Had to pay them a dollar to get through the gate.

    California DMV getting tough on e-motos?

    I have only rented scooters while on vacation. The one in the video is a Suzuki, 65 MPH and gets 148 MPG. Very efficient vehicle and only costs $3100. Insurance is very cheap as well. Similarly powered ebikes can't compete on any level. Where I see the line of demarcation is the type of ebikes...

    We were discussing equivalent power motorbikes; 125 cc. None of them are loud.

    California DMV getting tough on e-motos?

    To suggest noise is pollution is a misunderstanding of the definition of the word pollution. Noise can only be a heath concern if the noise level is extreme and sustained. There's a great deal of pseudoscience in the world today, I am not willing to get into a debate here over it. I've come...

    Is this the craziest bike race crash?

    Checkout the guy at the end of the clip, in the orange. He was at the back and now he picks up the bike to run around the carnage to win the race 🤣

    California DMV getting tough on e-motos?

    I agree with you about registration. Most of those bikes will never be registered because they won't meet California DOT, or USDOT requirements. I'm afraid the horse is out of the barn on that. The only way to regulate them is through import laws and regulate sellers. Automobiles and motorcycles...
