    Slowly figuring it out - slow down, stop touching the throttle

    As for ebikes not feeling like regular bikes? I bought my Gazelle because it handles and feels like a regular bike. It's very responsive and light feeling in my opinion. There are exceptions to everything out there. Maybe it is the company name?

    Slowly figuring it out - slow down, stop touching the throttle

    I go about two mphs more than I do on an acoustic bike. I do not have to push my ebike up hills like I would on my acoustic bike. I've always been a galoompa loompa person--speed isn't important, except when having to outrun something. I enjoy going longer distances.

    Good Morning North America, Good Night Pacific!

    The Demon Dog will soon go out for The Last Potty and I will need to move some flower seedlings to a sheltered spot. I think after two more nights, it will be safe to plant them. We are having cold nights.

    World War III

    I used to live an hour from where they had a Christmas tractor parade. Farm tractors would be decorated with lights and driven down main street at night. I see there are videos on youtube, but it looks like there are very few tractors in it. Instead, it seems to have gone to trucks, including...

    I rode off to drop off a payment for the electricity I have used. I turned it into a 20 something mile ride. This is The Really Steep Hill but I'm going down it today. It leads into the Public part of town--cops, fire dept., library, city hall and park. That big long building on the hill is...

    World War III

    I just want this war to end and Ukraine to win it. It's a disgusting event started by a disgusting dictator. The only thing good to come out of it is finding out how Russian weapons and military are not so proficient as originally feared. Oh, and how tractors can be militarized. :)

    Why were they defibrillating you if you had the tattoo? Is that part of the movie? Resuscitation Hell? We need to know! It finally looks like the weather may be calm today. It has been quite blustery.

    World War III

    However, if we hadn't shipped mass quantities of weapons, food, basic supplies to the USSR and sent experts there to help design and build manufacturing plants, would they have made it to Berlin? We don't know but I have my doubts. I also seem to recall that the Soviets were having problems...

    The lady that owns this house saw me taking photos and asked if I was enjoying the view, I told here I will never get sick of that amazing view! That is so nice. I've been confronted by angry people when taking pictures and sometimes, I worry about getting shot! Why/what are you taking...

    how do you feel about the current regulatory system for e-Bikes in the US?

    I see very little enforcement of speed limits and other rules for autos where I live. I see no need for any rules on ebikes as they'd not be enforced either. The only interaction I've had with law enforcement was when talking to a park ranger who was telling me how much he likes his ebike...

    I believe our Navy has beans for breakfast at least once a week. No bike ride today. Very gusty weather systems are coming through. I just got caught in a pollen storm (it's time for the yard conifers to get it on) and then rain blew in so we had a mixture of pollen and rain. Not good for...

    Yesterday was very windy and we had some very dark clouds. I rode my bike to a plant sale--about a mile and it was into a very strong wind, but downhill. Stood in a line to pay for plants in the gale--still dark but no rain. Rode home back up the hill but with a strong tailwind. It rained a...

    Washington the State. The work would have been on the South Island and this was three decades ago. It was a large timber company recruiting. The pay would have been half of what it was here though. We have steep ground, rain, glaciers etc. and even deserts. It all depends on what side of...

    I was told by a guy who was trying to recruit folks from here to NZ that I'd feel right at home there due to the similarities in climate and topography. So, I guess I can stay here? 'Cept we have too many cars on roads. Sigh.
