    WOW ! It carries 600,000 litres of fuel but its only the 75th largest yacht in the world. Deep pockets required...imagine the fuel bill for numero uno. The chopper is handy for escaping from pirates.

    Canada to restrict class 3 ebikes to 20mph

    But it is also my understanding that it is not illegal to travel above 30 kmh on an Ebike in B.C. .... so you would not get a ticket for riding up to 50 kmh in a 50 kmh zone. Therefore if you own a bike that can do this you are not breaking the law? Agreed?

    Sounds like they pulled the rug out from under you Stromerino.

    My nephew had a Pitbull that chewed on the face of their toddler. It was not pretty. A Rottweiler locked onto my thigh when I rode past. It was very painful for weeks. I have had a few dogs but I would no longer keep a dog with a large jaw and I do very much appreciate it when I encounter people...

    You can say that again...check this out. A Pitbull bite has 300 pounds pressure per square inch: A Crocodile bite has 3700 lbs per square inch! For reference a human bite can be 160 lbs per square inch.

    Foofer....OH YEAH you captured that perfectly! I regularly run a 5-10 km gauntlet along the beach which is chock- a- block full of these deaf serepentine joggers. I especially like it when they are using the clearly separated bike path portion of the MUP and have a dog on the one side while...

    Accessories that didn’t work out?

    That would be a good feature for sure. You must have the more expensive unit.

    You must be talking about a different model than mine as I have no idea what you are talking about... flashing at cars? It has no tail light.

    Accessories that didn’t work out?

    It did nothing special that our mirrors could not do. I am always checking my mirror anyway and I never have to remove my eyeglass mirror from the bike to recharge it or even turn it on and off. Also it gives phantom alerts when there are no cars coming and misses cars that pull out from beside...

    Accessories that didn’t work out?

    If you are right up behind them before you hit the bell you will scare them of course. This is exactly why a louder sound can be less rude since you can give an earlier warning which will often elicit a thumbs up or thanks.

    Accessories that didn’t work out?

    It is touch sensitive so you can tap it for a medium volume or blast it when you want to give an earlier warning. Rudeness is not built into the horn but rather the finger of the user.

    Accessories that didn’t work out?

    I bought my wife a Garmin Varia radar after reading a few positive reviews (along with the negatives ones) and she tried but had no interest in continuing to use it. I tried it in conjunction with my Sena Bluetooth helmet ( which we both like very much ) and found it also of no real value in...

    Anyone use AXA Key Service?

    That is a bummer! I ordered spare AXA keys for a used Ghost bike that I bought. They worked perfectly. If you find out why they do not fit please let us know.

    That is a sweet looking bike and $30 well spent no doubt! That reminds me that I gave away my 1980s acoustic Cannondale road bike a few years ago to a young woman who was working as a mechanic in a bike shop while attending medical school. I still have fond memories of being young and strong...
