Independent eyecare professionals all the way! They use non-affiliated laboratories, so they will reject your eyewear if it’s not up to standards. If you’re using a big-box store, a one-hour location, or an online supplier, they are production and final inspection all rolled into one. I’m not...

I greatly prefer multi-use paths over roadways. There are too many drivers who are careless, or simply evil. This happened today, about two miles from my home; https://www.fox13seattle.com/news/pierce-county-detectives-believe-vehicle-may-have-intentionally-struck-cyclist-in-deadly-hit-and-run

You mention the gym. Have you been lifting, or cardio only? I ask because I started lifting again, with a trainer, about 6 months ago after a many-year break, and I’ve found it to be tremendously helpful in preventing (well, minimizing anyway) joint pain. It was bad enough that I thought I had...

I’ve ridden the Cedar River trail. A portion of it runs next to a highway, so it’s rather noisy. But, the river section made it worth it for at least one ride. That section is gravel, but was in pretty good shape when I was there. The Cedar River Trail connects with the Burt Gilman trail, and...

I’m really excited about this. The Foothills Trail extension to Enumclaw, with a new bridge over the White River, is actually happening. They started earlier this year, and expect to complete it in early 2024. When completed, it will run from Puyallup to Enumclaw, for a round trip distance of 44...

Impressive creativity and abilities. 👏

I’ve been frustrated because I haven’t ridden my Creo in several weeks, due to going on a cruise ship and coming home with Covid (It was a mild case, but I have a lingering cough and am still somewhat fatigued). This thread makes me feel a little less frustrated. 😂 That bug would drive me nuts!

I’ve never seen those. They’d obviously not tip over. They wouldn’t work well for us though, as we often ride where the width would be of concern.

I’m impressed with your skills, and the effort you’ve put into this project. It’s cool that you’ve involved your kids in this too, as I’m sure it will instill some of your positive attitude in them.

My wife bought a dog trailer that was rated by the manufacturer for up to 100 lbs. Our Rhodesian Ridgeback, now 85 lbs, was only about 50 lbs. at the time. I hooked it up to her Class 2 bike (it sure wasn’t getting pulled with my Creo) and rode around our yard to try it out, and the dog’s...

But..but…but…it has plenty of torque. Why would up you need a sensor?

On my Apple devices, I had to delete the app first. Otherwise, it wouldn’t update to the new version.

Sorry for the late reply. I was on vacation, and came home with Covid, so I’m still catching up. I owe an apology to anyone misled by my comment about the new app. It seems I was confused, and had been using the Mission Control app when I had that problem. 🤦‍♂️

Yep. I tried the new app, and it dropped off 30 miles into a 40 mile ride. I was trying out the Smart distance management and it reverted to manual mode selection. I was going to try it again, but with others having the same problem I think I’ll stick with the BLEvo app.

You can choose to keep your Strava data Private. I do.

Though I haven’t ridden it in about a year, I have a 9.9s in my garage. I don’t recall hearing anything about the crank arm falling off, but there was a recall related to pedals not being torqued properly at the factory. I got a notice, but checked mine and they seemed fine.

Actually, my wife has a Rad Class 2 with a cadence sensor. I’ve ridden it, but I hated it with a passion. I really don’t know why the throttle is needed, as it takes almost zero effort to pedal. Wanna get through the intersection quickly? Just tap the darn pedals. The only reason I’ve ridden it...

Sure, but that’s just a smug roadie who knows nothing about e-bikes, particularly 35Nm mid-drives.

I think I agree with Stefan on this. I totally understand the need for some to have a throttle. Heck, I might have to buy a bike with one someday. I just don’t fully understand when I see healthy people relying unnecessarily upon a throttle. Sometimes, I’ll see a group of 6-8 young people on a...

If you pedal while using the throttle, are you actually accomplishing anything? Is that what those people are doing when I see them turning their cranks with zero effort while traveling at 20 mph?
