Be careful what you wish for :)

I know you're just trolling, but this isn't remotely plausible. Now if you had said brewpubs instead of cafes... BTW easily 99% of the MTB I see are being used as ballast on the back of very clean SUVs.

They were apparently testing the same thing on competitive motocross motorcycles last year. It uses a torque sensor to gauge rider input. Allows the bike to gain maneuverability at low speed and stability at high speed.

Those are speed and cadence sensors, not power meters. They can tell you how fast you are spinning the cranks but not how hard you are pedaling.

I had to look that one up. Yep, as usual his timing (pun intended) was off by about a decade. According to this video my life would have turned out very differently if only I had bought a SPOT watch in 2004. It's like they baked pheromones into the watch...

That's really cool. Looks like they added 'modern' front brakes? Love to see older vehicles still performing their purpose and not just being a museum or show piece.

From what I can tell it's just as common here to see a kind of 'reverse snobbery', for lack of a better term. You don't even have to go beyond this thread to see riders being derided for having a brand name ebike. Staying within your financial means, being realistic about your own mechanical...

I have a Fitbit Versa2. Its best feature is only having to charge 1x per week. Not very useful for text/calls/etc while on the bike as (at least on my flat bar bike) you have to pull your hand off the grip to actually see and read the watchface. And if you need to interact (like scroll the...

Some info here. You may need to translate. They also have other videos with more info.

Looks like you had decent conditions. I know someone who tried that route 2 weeks before you and had to turn around somewhere around Segelsen Lake due to too much snow

It took me a minute to realize you meant unassisted by human power :) Usually, on these forums that term is referring to pedaling unassisted by the motor. I watched the vid. They stated 3500ft ele gain and 85 miles. Bolton calculated about 750wh left on the 2880wh battery, which pencils out...

Yesterday's commute AM PM One of my favorite phenomena: mountains casting shadows on the sky.

I just want the Scots to build a few more bridges so @RabH can show us pictures of the fourth Firth of Forth bridge and the fifth Firth of Forth bridge.

Curious by your use of the past tense 'had'. You do realize that the USA has continued to be a net exporter of energy under the current administration. No need to over-politicize it either, both Trump and Biden arguably have less to do with it than GW Bush and a virus...

To paraphrase FDR from 90 years ago: "The only thing we have to fear is air itself" I'm all for some steampunk future with velomobiles and airships, but sadly, I think Blade Runner depicts a more likely path for us. At least Elon's chosen will get to live the good life in the off-world colonies?

Looks like something out of a Tim Burton movie

Thank you! I recently got a 3rd 500wh powertube on clearance. Nominal wh is actually 482. I think the 3rd battery served more to alleviate range anxiety than anything else. On the first day I put in the third battery when I got to my destination 78 miles into the ride, where I unloaded...

Thank you! 53 years before my first century ride but only 24 hours for my 2nd :) 2nd century ride Sunday, I awoke to find that government shutdown had been averted which killed the fantasy I had been harboring of getting to bike up the iconic Hurricane Ridge climb without cars if the National...

Oh, Canada! Vancouver Island on the horizon across the Strait of Juan de Fuca.

First century ride (Sorry long post) With summer's end and school starting up (practices, games, rehearsals, etc) I was feeling like chances for a good long ride were slipping away with along with the long days. The weather was supposed to be gorgeous, even though it was still dreary out on...
