I rode 20 miles today, the roads around my house again. No pictures from my ride but I’m getting ready for colder weather and brought some firewood up to the house.

I did 12 miles today after not riding the last couple because of rain. A couple of random pictures from my ride.

I rode 14 miles yesterday and 16 today. A couple of pictures of what the area looks like now. Probably more than half the crops have been harvested and in the case of these two pictures all the crops are gone.

Jim1348 has a great answer, safety first. Like a lot of things, when you buy an e bike you find out after a few weeks if you bought the right one or not.

All the pictures from England are always interesting, in a lot of ways very different than the U.S. The names of places make me smile also, so very British.

I rode 19 miles today. There is a pretty good sized Amish community in our area and they are very creative with their cloths lines. The first picture is of a cloths line, it must be 20 feet high on the right side and is setup on a pulley arrangement. The next two pictures of a combine and an...

I think when the wind gets above 20 mph I tend to skip the ride.

I’m back in the saddle again. I rode 14 miles into town to the drugstore looking for allergy medicine, which none of them had. We took a long vacation to Idaho and Montana that lasted almost a month. We also got sick in the middle of it, maybe Covid but who knows for sure so I didn’t feel...

I rode 18 miles today, the usual ride on the roads around my house. I passed a barn I hadn’t shot a photo of yet. It’s on a little bit busier road but due to the holiday not very busy at 9:00am today.

I wear bike shorts and they make loose fitting ones for those of us that wouldn’t look good in the tight fitting ones.

I’m not calling you local bike shop liars but is the “insurance” thing an excuse not to work on your bike since you didn’t buy it there.

It’s been really bad in Western Illinois, heat index up to 120 the last 4 days. I took the last 2 days off and it finally cooled off but were going on a trip and will be gone over a week.

Another epic ride RabH!

I can’t speak of the brands you are looking at, I own a Trek. Trek makes good bikes but so do others, like Giant, Specialized, Bulls etc. Your budget? It seems like no matter what it is if you spend a little more you get a lot more. In my mind a budget of £2500-3000 gets you more. A lot of...

I bought the extra long ramp for my Easy Fold but normally just lift it up. I saw a new one last time I was at the bike shop that apparently drops down to the ground and apparently goes up and down by power. I just looked at their website, I may have misunderstood, I don’t see anything about a...

I did 17 miles today. We are having a bad hot spell. At 8:45 am the heat index was a 103 F. At 10:50 am the air temp is 92 F with the feels like 115 F. High dew point of 83 is the big problem making it very muggy. A picture of an old windmill tower that has a light on top now and a how that...

I‘m pretty cheap, I don’t think I’ve ever paid for an app. I use Strava but mostly just to keep track of how far, how fast and how much elevation gain I’ve had.

I rode into town today and at one point rode through the local university. I shot a picture of one of the towers that’s a dorm. This is the campus of WIU and like a lot of universities in Illinois has seen a large drop in the number of students. This tower was remodeled about 10 years ago and...

I have a couple of those covers that just covers the plug in. I’ve hauled mine in the rain. No problems.

Nice looking bike, enjoy.
