Nice job Stefan! Squeaks and creaks are really annoying! I have a recurring creak in my right pedal/crank from 2 years ago when I had a severe pedal strike on a curb while avoiding a car that decided to turn left right into my path. Usually cleaning and lubing the chainring and chain takes...

It's perfectly legal for a 5 year old to ride a 28mph ebike in FL as long as they have a helmet on. Having a throttle means they don't even have to be able to reach the pedals. State law does not provide much At just over 1.25 sq mi, if they are serious about safety they would ban all...

I have 2.35 JWs on my Haibike and really like them. The bike came with Super Moto X which sound like they would also fit your needs well. As far as 2.35 vs 2.6, probably not a huge difference but the bigger tires will probably be slightly more comfortable and can run at lower PSI if that's...

Jason, that all sounds pretty normal. I tend to bias my brake use to the rear when just shedding speed so my front and back pads wear pretty evenly. I get much more life out of my pads now than I did when I first got my bike - probably a combination of better maintenance and smarter cycling...

I was helping out a colleague south of downtown Seattle yesterday, so I took the opportunity to take the train down so I could bike home. Got about 8 miles on the bike in the morning pedaling to and from the stations. But coming home I was able to ride along the Duwamish Waterway through...

What you can't see in the picture is the cell phone in his left hand that he is using to identify the illegally fast and powerful e-bike.

Agreed. I'm 5'9" and don't trust that the 56cm really fits 5'8" to 6'3" .

Pretty typical Seattle day in February. Damp, overcast, a hint of some bright object behind the clouds.

I lost most of January to work and family obligations, but things started to clear up this week and I've been able to ride about 115 miles(and 10,000 ft of elevation gain) already in February - mostly squeezing in some random extra miles between work and home riding back in the evening. The...

It looks like an older model with the gen2 speed motor. Those have a reduction gear inside(2.5x) so the chainrings are usually 18t or 20t.

I probably should have added more context. That is from the NYC legislation that restricted sale/rental/lease of non UL certified ebikes and other powered mobility devices(primarily e-scooters). In other words, if the mobility device is designed for an ADA use it is exempt from the...

If laws are modeled after NYC's legislation, then we likely will. Powered bicycle. The term “powered bicycle” means a bicycle with electric assist as defined in section 102-c of the vehicle and traffic law. Powered mobility device. The term “powered mobility device” means an electric scooter...

White Castle should only be eaten after 2AM and in an altered state. Even then, Steak 'n Shake is a better choice even if it's the hour in the middle of the night when they soak the entire floor with bleach.

In restless dreams I biked alone Narrow streets of ground-up stone... ...And touched the sound of gravel

This was the scene in Edmonds this morning about 40 minutes after sunrise and 30 minutes before moonset... The container ship is from the same line as the one the got stuck in the Suez a couple years ago.

My friend, you live in the desert! I'm not sure if it's possible to be at least 10km away from a craft brewery in Seattle. I don't generally stop at them but I go by several to/from work when I bike in. Someone calculated that you can hit 9 brewpubs in .54 miles. A couple of them always...

In the US, 90% of Yamaha ebike dealers are bicycle retailers. Both Specialized and Giant also have powersports dealers who carry their ebikes. Your 'point' is not relevant or necessarily true outside of the EU. This thread does remind me that I've been meaning to rent a Yamaha for a day...

That's how the Nyon display on my Bosch works. Takes about 2 seconds to pull it off the mount if I'm walking away from the bike. You can opt to screw it in to the mount, but I worry that it would get damaged if some idiot tries to pry it off as GuruUno mentioned.

Specialized doesn't seem to have a problem with motorcycles, they've been the presenting sponsor of this series for several years now. Oh, and just to keep it at least a little on topic, Yamaha was the feature sponsor of this past weekend's event...

Says the person who rides a bike with a Brose mid drive directly descended from an automotive power steering motor. :) Frankly, your take on this is just bizarre for someone who espouses mid drive torque sensor ebikes as the penultimate form of ebike. Yamaha has been selling these to the...
