    Blow outs with Schwalbe Marathon winter plus

    All rims are not exactly the same. I know that my brother in law can get easily slip those Marathon Winter tires on his Giant Explore rims whereas I must wrestle with great difficulty getting the exact same size tires onto my Ghost rims. I have not found a better studded tire so I am resigned...

    My wife wears glasses but when I bought her a pair of goggles she tried them and then rejected them. I have used the same goggles without glasses and they worked quite well, but enough friggin Winter. I am gonna make it through this season if it kills me.....

    I finally got Covid so my rides have been 10k instead of 100k per day. Tested positive Saturday and still positive today. Nothing unusual about catching it since everybody is gonna get it. But what is unusual is that I got it from my 89 year old Mom!

    As I watch the Pogo vid I am thinking ..."why not have one strapped to each leg? Then they could run and jump farther and faster methinks ....and maybe call them Pogo Stilts?" Calling all inventors!

    Unusual to get this close without spooking a Heron.

    Giant Explore chain ring

    I think you can reverse that ring to use it awhile longer while you look for a replacement. I have done it with Bosch rings.

    Canada to restrict class 3 ebikes to 20mph

    That is impressive! Most road bike riders that I encounter cannot sustain 37 kmh unless they are very fit and drafting me.

    Canada to restrict class 3 ebikes to 20mph

    Dave I appreciate your opinion but respectfully disagree. I do not think that he would be within the law to give me a ticket if I was not breaking the speed limit. In fact I was just thinking more about it and I recall now that last week I passed a roadie heading SouthEast on SouthWest Marine...

    Canada to restrict class 3 ebikes to 20mph

    I would be shocked to get a speeding ticket on the shoulder of the Barnet highway for cycling 45-50 kmh on the flats beside cars driving 80-110 kmh. That would be absurd methinks.
