    Why not speed limits?

    yes, i acknowledged it was an old study, it’s age does not make it entirely irrelevant. it’s a study of mixed use trail design and how to manage those different uses concurrently without impinging upon the freedoms of each user.

    Why not speed limits?

    if into calculus, probability and statistics this older study by the feds is quite interesting. https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/publications/research/safety/pedbike/05137/05137.pdf

    Why not speed limits?

    where i live there are no paths that are exclusively for bikes. all are shared paths. for shared multi use paths, i’m not a big proponent of regulatory speed limiting signage mainly because the cost of such an application, both in capital expense and in manpower for enforcement would be...

    Are Womens' Cycling Competitions Wrecked?

    also maybe ironic that in an (e)biking forum, a sport also infamous for the misuse and abuse of performance enhancing substances, that we’ve come full circle now debating the relative testosterone levels of trans athletes competing against women. 🤣

    Are Womens' Cycling Competitions Wrecked?

    i don’t have a horse in this race…. but unfairness is a feeling. lots of people feel things are unfair. i didn’t come up with the testosterone testing thing, but thought it was perhaps a more science-driven approach than merely letting male athletes who identify as female compete against...

    Get a good helmet, and wear it.

    another difference i’m told by dutch colleagues is that children begin learning “rules of the road” at a very young age so are then able to begin biking to school at the earliest. When an entire generation goes through the same experience the community standards of behavior rise accordingly...

    Replacement Display?

    According to the specs it is an M5 LCD display, i’m not sure about the 2.0’s additional waterproofing over the 1.0 and if there’s an IPX65 version of the M5 or not. but the display is a commodity, should be able to get a replacement on aliexpress or alibaba pretty easily.

    E-Bike hatred is out there!

    many ppl misunderstand min wage. min wage for servers and other tipped employees is essentially the same or higher than the regular min wage because if tipped employees do not make enough in tips to cover the difference between the non-tipped mon wage and the tipped min wage then the employer...

    Which Companies Make Multi Mode/ Switchable Class Mode Ebikes?

    to your earlier question, that could be the advantage of a switchable bike mode, to adapt the bike to the requirements of the road or path you’re operating on. it’s not a terrible idea to me. if we assume the 3 class designation is not going away, then users have a choice of purchasing a...

    Which Companies Make Multi Mode/ Switchable Class Mode Ebikes?

    not a physical switch but Super 73 models have multi-mode systems….excerpt below… Your Super73 is equipped with MultiClass Mode selection. The bike defaults to a Class 2 mode. It is the rider’s responsibility to follow local E-bike regulations. Be sure you are up to date with your local motor...

    World Class Product Support? Nope.

    this is true with many of the platforms used to manage service requests, they prioritize based in time, so updating an old ticket with new info also changes your place to the end of the line as being the most recent issue. waiting on the original request will tropically get you into the queue...

    Are Womens' Cycling Competitions Wrecked?

    and it’s not limited to gender equality either, elite road racing is one of the whitest sports out there. predominantly white and rich. nearly zero diversity. elitist.

    Are Womens' Cycling Competitions Wrecked?

    in terms of the Olympics, I believe male trans althetes seeking to compete in female divisions must test below a certain marker for testosterone for a significant period of time in order to compete. it is also interesting that most of the news stories have been about male athletes participating...
