    E-Bike Insurance

    Interesting viewpoint I had not considered Tars. Liability and medical is not something you generally think about when it comes to riding a bike.

    E-Bike Insurance

    That Kind of makes sense Taylor57. I live in Central Oregon, outside of the Bend / Redmond area, so crime is not that bad, I think. I will be buying a heavy chain lock (Krypptonite 15 mm links) to use in conjunction with U locks and lock on my Thule bike rack, when traveling. Generally, if...

    Dropper Seat Post for Verve+ 2

    Curious how this is working for her. My wife is having s=a similar issue and is considering this option. She has the step thru Verve +3, so cable routing may be an issue.

    E-Bike Insurance

    We recently purchased two E-bikes (Trek Verve +3) and when checking with our auto / home and RV insurance carriers, found that none of them covered E-Bikes. One did cover motorized "vehicle" but clipped coverage at top speed of 15 mph. So, who seems to be the best carrier, with best rates and...

    Needing Trek (Allant+7/Verve+3) hitch Bike Rack recommendations...

    we just switched over from mountain bikes to two Trek Verve +3 bikes and are using the Thule T2 Pro XT for them. It is rated at 60 pounds per bike. No issues loading, securing, or unloading the bikes. The only thing I have noticed is if you go in / out of an elevated area to the street...

    Get a good helmet, and wear it.

    Went down to REI today to see about getting a new helmet. I had researched several models to try out: Giro Manifest, Troy Lee A2 and A3, and Smith Frontrunner 2. Both Giro and Troy use the MIPS system and the normal foam padding. Smith Frontrunner 2 however, uses the 2 levels of foam, MIPS...

    Has Five Ten fitment changed?

    Received my Freerider Pros today and what a difference. The 1/2 size increase is like night and day. Very comfortable shoes, bit stiff for general walking around, but that’s what you want for pedaling. I guess as you age, your feet just change. Got a great price on Amazon, too, so no complaints...

    Ride Concepts or Five Ten Shoes?

    I just got my 510 Pros today. Ordered a half size up as my 12’s were wearable, but uncomfortable after about 20 minutes. The 12.5 fits like a dream and I normally have to order a wide, but these were perfect. Lots of room in the toe box and length is great for overall comfort. And I got a great...

    Get a good helmet, and wear it.

    OK - yesterday, wife and I were riding local bike path. Got back, and as she was getting ready to dismount, feet got tangled and she went down hard from waist to head. I actually heard her head bounce twice off the pavement! Fortunately, she was wearing a hemet, and came through with aches and...

    These are for transporting Horses in trailers. Often, theses horses refer or go high with their heads and bang the top of trailers, injuring their heads. Ask me how I know 🙄

    Has Five Ten fitment changed?

    I dug out a pair of 510 Freeriders I had not used in many years (size 12 my normal size). After about a hour or so, m6 ties were really aching and felt cramped. I guess my feet have changed as I have aged, so I the market for new shoes. From all I hav3 read, 510 still seems to be the shoe of...
