I ride recreationally so I don't have to be out riding when it's horrible weather. Head: balaclava under helmet, I tend to prefer the mid weight ones with nice elasticity Hands: I use the winter gloves I use on my motorcycle, IXS brand , Goretex and lightly insulated ($20 at Iron Pony.com)...

Simple is better

Pedaling in circles with clipless pedals: at first I pulled on the upstroke. Then I learned just to unweigh on the upstroke. Pulling up had the danger of pulling out of the pedal specially when cranking out serious power. A sudden release can lead to a loss of control of the bike.

I somehow learned how to pedal with the flats that came with the bikes. My pedal cadence was "faster" when I was a roadie with Looks and Time iClic pedals. I made an observation over the years that only people on Shimano SPDs fell on a regular basis. If I wore worn Look cleats, they would...

I would like an e-scooter as a last mile mode of transportation when I park my electric car or electric scooter at the charging station. Right now I use a pedal bike to go from charging station to my office. Workplace charging is very nice but it's about 3/4 of a mile away from my office.

It's a BMW C Evolution scooter. Propulsion is based on i3 EV.

I thought you meant this by hi end e-scooter

Our town has a summer concert series at the park. Tonight’s band is a very good Santana tribute band. They got everybody jumping when the first conga beats of Jingo played.

Yes. Rad Rover. Took front wheel off, took the handlebar off (just 4 hex screws) once in the car, took battery off. Rear derailleur on up side.

I try to attend Zumba classes but Covid stopped that. I regularly do kung fu and taichi classes several times a week. I do have a bike trainer and a treadmill but I hate doing those even with a tv and ceiling fans.

The Honda spray I use is for cleaning and waxing in one product. A lot of motorcyclists swear by it. Alternatively, Lemon Pledge too does the same thing but I find that I save a few wiping strokes with the Honda spray over Pledge. I have so many detailer products but the latest fave is Turtle...

If they were any good, there would be more widespread adaptation. The only big recent innovation has been tubeless tires. BUt they need specialist equipment, added expense and have a learning curve to use and service.

I use my vehicle bike rack to get my bike off the ground for maintenance.

I used to ride with the Princeton Freewheelers, an awesome bike club for group rides. We would have some riders who were bike activist types who didn't know when to pick their fights. They would ride 3 across getting the cars behind us pissed off trying to prove that bikes have a right to the...

I did break a Campagnolo Chorus chain on my Litespeed (non-electric). My minitool had a chain tool so it was a relatively easy fix once I figured out how to use it. I was going uphill when the chain broke.

Easier to use spray wax instead of liquid or paste wax. I used to be quite into keeping my Litespeed road bike meticulously clean. I used stainless steel spray polish since the frame was titanium. My ebikes are both MTB types so they get dirty. Honda motorcycle spray cleaner polish is great to...

When I was a roadie, I used clipless pedals and road racing shoes (Carnac, DMT, Carnac, Mavic) with mostly Look, then Time iClic pedals. I do have Carnac MTB shoes and SPD pedals but I'm not so serious about riding anymore. So I just wear sneakers in summer and work boots in winter. Sandals or...

The deep sand freezes and becomes easier to bike on in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey. I've been riding motorcycles and bicycles during winter so I have an idea of how to suit up for the cold. For biking, it's my rule of thumb to be a bit chilly during the first 5 minutes (if you just use the...
