You said it in way fewer words. Thanks. “Just because you can, doesn’t mean that you should”?

We have this problem in my community too. It’s caused here by traffic engineers trying to get bike paths to make use of existing traffic signals. It can involve riding straight, making a 90 degree turn, pushing a signal button, waiting, starting your bike again, riding across a six lane road...

My Raleigh Lore was $2500 at the time that I bought it (the price has since gone up to $3000). I had a rear rack added, a Terry women’s saddle, some handlebar spacers, swapped out the front handlebar for an extended one (it comes stock with mtb bars). That all added about $400 to the price, but...

I hope I can help. Some other people in the thread above have had this problem, including me, right now. Just because it says “change display batteries” doesn’t mean the batteries aren’t working. The system seems to reset itself after being turned on and off several times. First of all the...

Agree. Love the super moto-x tires on my bike. They weren’t the look I was going for- but it’s nice to know that if you have to leave the trail, it’s not a problem. They aren’t mtb tires, but they’re fine on dirt roads. And yes, they are comfortable, and yes, I’ve accidentally ridden through...

I had had to replace my purion batteries immediately after I bought the bike. I used non Maxell batteries. It worked for a couple of weeks, then I started getting the replace battery message. So I replaced with maxell batteries. Still getting the replace battery message but I understand it’s...

I addition to some of the things you mentioned, I got a can of dog repellent pepper spray. I share the bike path with dog walkers, and some dogs really seem to hate ebikes. I don’t know if it’s appearance ( I’ve gradually accessorized mine with everything but a TV set) or noise. A couple of...

I know, some of you guys can remove a wire bead mtb tire with nothing but your teeth?

Looks like you went to Long Beach?

Some of the worst soreness I’ve ever gotten has been from so called “comfort” saddles. I never had a problem until I got a bike with one of those giant seats. I’ve found personally what works best for me are the ones that provide a platform for your seatbones and not much else. Of course I still...

I suppose it’s for your other thread, but by any chance do you have a Bosch Purion display? Mine seems to be eating batteries. There’s another thread on Bosch Purions and battery/display problems.

Thanks. Some great ideas here

I have never had any luck with those little frame pumps. Co2 is my friend.

I’m actually down to one these days, and he’s nearlt 20. Not sure he’d appreciate it- but you never know.

I’m a woman in her early 60’s who does a lot of recreational (10-20 miles) riding by herself, mostly bike trails. I have a trunk bag on my bike rack. Here are some of the things I bring. I wanted to see what other brought, and if other people had suggestions: Cell phone with credit card and...

Raleigh/Izip: It’s you, or you and your local bike shop. We can go either way.

I just rode 10 miles today- I used to ride a Trek Pure analog bike maybe 2-3 miles at a time. I’m now riding 6-8 miles a day, with one longer (15 mile) ride a week. I haven’t ridden so much since my 20’s.

Here is a link. There are some good trails like this in the Southern CA-LA area https://www.traillink.com/trail/pacific-electric-inland-empire-trail/
