    Vacation planning with E-Bikes

    I went on a wonderful guided ebike tour of Puglia, Italy, a year ago - am looking at some bike and barge tours in Northern Italy and the Netherlands for next fall 😁.

    Best Rock Ever? Nominations, No Air Supply!

    Firefox confirms, via several sources, that the second verse is about Warren Beatty, but the other verses are about other men. Mick Jagger suspected in verse 1... Some articles claim it's the biggest mystery in rock music, but I think that title would go to whatever was being thrown off the...

    Best Rock Ever? Nominations, No Air Supply!

    I love them both, but have to say King, just because she wrote for so many other musicians. I can't think of many songs Carly wrote that were recorded by anyone but her ... For the voice, absolutely Carly Simon! This coming from someone who thinks John Prine's voice is great 🤣!

    Question re: locking bike and concern for vandalism

    Why can't manufacturers make their displays "plug and play", so we could just unplug that component and take it with us when we leave the bike, and reconnect easily when ready to ride again?

    E-Bikes On Legal, Paved Trails

    Nah ... High Point is (was?) a big furniture production center - Think "Thomasville", etc., and Greensboro was a big clothing mill town 🤣🤣🤣.

    2023 - Our Rides in Words, Photos, Maps and Videos

    It's a beautiful, crisp, autumn day here in the Piedmont Triad! Took "Alan" out for a spin to return some Amazon mistakes to our nearest drop off... The Kohl's "department store". Most of the ride was on the Bicentennial Greenway, with just a couple of dicey traffic crossings. The return ride...

    Happy to see you posting, Rab! Was a little worried, seeing the terrible weather and flooding happening in your neck of the world!

    Not asking, just making a point.

    The "ignore" button is a wonderful thing 😁. That said, no one here has ever insulted my $1600 (at the time - the price has since gone up, but it's on sale now for $1200!) Espin Flow, which I love love love! Some people here are jerks, but most are not...

    Hope the change in direction in Poland sticks, and makes its way here next year, so we can move back toward having a functioning government, with a lot fewer loonies in the House🤞🤞🤞.

    Anyone get glasses at Costco?

    I found that the $60 Costco membership saved me hundreds of dollars on my glasses, compared to my other available options. The membership was well worth it, just for the glasses.

    Is there a particular reason cargo bikes tend to be hub drive?

    Just because something is less expensive, doesn't mean it's cheap. I have both a mid drive and rear hub drive bike, and while my hub drive is not expensive (for an ebike), it's not "cheap" (in the sense of crappy poor quality) either. Are there cheap, in the sense noted above, hub drive bikes...

    Espin sale, while supplies last ...

    https://www.espinbikes.com/ My Flow is on sale for $1200! That is an incredible price for this bike! Other models on sale, also. I suspect it's a model clearance, and prices for the new models will be going up - that's essentially what their email to me said.

    Do you support the US federal E-BIKE act?

    There is a lot of research going on right now to develop cleaner batteries. Technological development is not stagnant. We are in the process of transition at the moment, and a lot of things are in flux. The US has a lot of catching up and redesigning/reengineering to do. I think we CAN do it...

    Help understanding bike path

    There's a small "no turn on red" sign dangling from the signal cable near our place in NC - people behind me frequently beep at me when I'm stopped in my car, waiting for the green. I roll my window down far enough to get my arm out, and point to the sign.
