    Abandoned PA Turnpike Tunnel Ride Planning Thread

    Spent a good bit of my youth on the other side of the creek outside Cape Charles. They are working on a 50 mile Eastern Shore Rail Trail there. https://esrailtrail.com/ https://www.easternshorepost.com/2021/03/18/eastern-shore-rail-trail-working-group-looking-for-partners/ Kind of expensive...

    Abandoned PA Turnpike Tunnel Ride Planning Thread

    I believe only 2 tunnels can be accessed. Laurel Hill Tunnel is leased by a racecar engineering firm for testing. https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/laurel-hill-tunnel-racecar-testing https://www.racecar-engineering.com/tech-explained/the-secrets-of-laurel-hill/ I'd be up for a spring ride.

    I hit a horse

    This is a new Amish dairy farm. Everything in the picture was built from the Fall of '21 to Spring of '22. The farm is less than 2 miles from my house, I drive by two times a day. It was just a field prior to 2021. The original farmhouse was a small brick colonial house to the left of this...

    NYC PSA E-bike Battery Fires 11/11/22 NBC News

    I posted the following a little over a year ago, reposting here. ----- I often see old wood stoves cheap on CL and elsewhere. I thought one with a standard single wall steel vent stack would work for charging. In summer these wood stoves are as cheap as above, winter you can expect to pay...

    The Experience of a Bicycle

    Mostly biker (MC) lingo from the late 50's on. Some car club guys will use the term. Cage means car. Springsteen mentioned it in Born to Run. "Sprung from cages on highway 9.... it's a death trap, a suicide wrap..." Cage wrecked.

    Startling pedestrians can be so much fun.

    How to win friends and influence people. You never know how a scared person will react. While commuting and just using a bell and "on your left", I have scared people and been cussed out while on a city path. "You f'n idiot!" In other words, 'why did you scare the crap out of me while I...

    I hit a horse

    State law determines fault in the US. Domesticated animals (pets), in most states the animal owner is responsible for damage. Livestock like horses, cows and sheep responsibility varies by state law. Some states are free range and in these states the automobile owner is responsible for damages...

    I hit a horse

    A lot of Amish farms around me as well and I nearly hit a horse in the road at dusk. Driving west into the setting sun I rounded a blind curve and the horse seemed to appear in front of me. I got lucky and stopped in time. I'm told hitting a horse is akin to hitting a moose. Long legs and the...

    I read your reddit, I thought it was smart getting locals involved. Did you get any sightings? Were the police any help?

    NYC major apartment fire from lithium cells

    I imagine this could lead to management companies with residential rental properties banning battery packs much like air travel does, packs greater than 100 watt hour. 38 injured, two critically and five seriously will bring a lot of attention. We really need to crack down on cheap, untested...

    My 1000w motor journey and fear mongering by users of the forum!

    This is terrible news everytime I hear it. Really sorry you're going through this after your long search for the perfect bike. Do the authorities offer any hope? Keep a lookout on all the for sale forums in your area.

    Enola Low Grade Trail Full Moon Ride

    The Safe Harbor Trestle is spectacular and as of last Thursday the Martic Forge Trestle is open again a few miles down the trail after an arsonist burned the historic bridge down in 2018. I've ridden the trail prior to the fire, there's a lot to see on the section between Turkey Hill and the...

    My 1000w motor journey and fear mongering by users of the forum!

    Bad is the wrong word. The laws we have for ebikes are limited by class, power and speed. Cars are not. Cars have to meet safety standards set by DOT and have to be registered and insured, drivers have to be tested and licensed. Through registration and licensing law enforcement are tasked with...

    BH Warranty?

    That was my understanding as well. I think I would take it to a TIG welder and have it repaired. I know a few welders that would do it for me, but I can understand many might not have access or knowledge on what to look for in a shop. There are bike frame specialists, I don't have that service...

    With regard to budget, the UK has some schemes like 'cycle to work' that can help pay for a new ebike. Might be worth looking into. Best of luck!
