Everyone needs a break once in awhile, Stefan 😁

Well, our winter time on beautiful Whidbey Island was a bust as far as riding my La Free 😟. Between the weather, my knee flare up, and our short turn around time (due to my PM's hip replacement on the east coast at the end of October delaying travel for a few extra weeks), I only rode ONCE 😱...

Just read in the NYT the other day that Volvo is owned by the Chinese automaker Geeley, so the new Volvo EV is, technically, Chinese 😱! Still built in Sweden... But officially the first Chinese EV in the US market?

More info to come, but the date Is set! Planning on the metric half century with a group of friends this year. Come on up/out and cycle beautiful Whidbey Island 😁!

We won't be here for this One in April, but Canano Island is beautiful so should be a FABulous ride 😁!

Congratulations 🥳🥳🥳!

Are you saying all the Kia EVs are from Russia?

Mea Culpa 🤣🤣🤣

Up here on Whidbey, I frequently see young kids on those types of mopeds zipping along the paved MUP in violation of those laws. Police simply do not have the time/manpower/desire/will to enforce them. Someone is going to get killed - until then, I don't expect any action.

Virtual gold plated high tops 😁. Having said that, I have up all things Trump for Lent... Have to say an Act of Contrition now, dammit 🤪🤪🤪!

Bike infrastructure is not going to prevent 12 year olds from riding too fast for the conditions. I just don't know what those parents are thinking, providing kids with mini motorcycles capable of killing people, and turning them loose on the streets and sidewalks without any supervision. They...

Not surprising, but very, very sad and disheartening. I'm getting more serious about relocating to Italy or Switzerland (talk about opposites!!!).

I also read (haven't verified yet) that there is a gofundme account set up to pay his legal fees and fines, and the money is pouring in...

It would have been funny, except, apparently they're all sold out already - $300 per pair😣

12 year olds do not belong on vehicles that can go 28 mph. They can walk or ride regular bikes. It's also ridiculous that police were not writing the citations they could have been because doing so would prevent kids from getting their learners permits. And, the kids they talked to sounded...

I think it's a mistake to look at what happens in the US, and assume the rest of the world is the same. Amsterdam, and the Netherlands in general, have a much, much larger percentage of their populations commuting and accomplishing the daily chores of living by bicycle. The walking culture is...

Except, armed burglaries and "shots fired" incidents are extremely rare occurrences in the Netherlands... Maybe they're on to something we're missing 😉?

From what I remember of high school French decades and decades ago, he wants to replace the battery on his Orbea Gain... Something about removing 3 screws, but does he have to remove... Something about a pedal board (?)?

At last, I got out for a short ride on my La Free! First time since we arrived back on the West Coast right before Christmas! First, weather was bad, then, I had an emergency trip to Hawaii (really - a dear friend was very ill and had no one who could look after her for a couple of weeks. I saw...

I always love seeing Magda and her beautiful smile ☺️! Nice riding day, Stefan!
