    Lightweight all around bike

    Ha ha! I love the San Diego area. My wife and I like to visit with our dog because of the great dog-friendly beaches. Next time I'm on vacation there, I'll try to visit the Canyon bicycle museum for a good drool-fest :cool: . But there's no way I can just pop down the freeway through LA for...

    Hello from Santa Barbara California

    Hi Folks! I don't have an e-bike yet, but I'm hoping to fix that situation, and that's why I'm here. My current bike is a Trek X-Cal 29er, but I typically don't do much trail riding, mostly just around town on civilized bike paths. I'm looking for a light weight fitness style e-bike that will...
