    Gazelle Ultimate C380+ Panniers

    I DID go with the Gazelle panniers and love them. I also used the MIK rack mounting system to make things a snap. Very pleased, but expensive.

    Charging while camping?

    We use three 190 watt panels and a 1500 watt inverter. Also a 5500 watt Onan generator on less sunny days. The last photo is our charge controller which shows the battery levels in real time.

    hydraulic front brake quit working

    You may be able to find a 2 inch receiver for the FRONT of your vehicle. It will not interfere with the trailer and allows a bike rack to easily be mounted out of the way.

    Eye-Catching NuBike Goes With Drive Levers Instead Of A Chain

    Beautiful design. I would love to ride one as well. The drive reminds me of the eccentric rod movement for the valves on an old steam locomotive. Jedidiah will appreciate this since it was taken in his neck of the woods.

    I crashed today

    Sorry to hear Jedidiah! Glad you’re okay. I fell the other day at school and embarrassed myself. My bike has a high frame bar and I usually lean the bike over to get on the bike. I was on gravel doing just that wearing a back pack with 30 pounds of tools and heavy panniers on the bike. While...

    A Canadian Folk Legend Passes Away

    Sad indeed! I remember “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” as a song that always seemed to haunt me. I am a musician, and love how the power of music can stir your inner sole. My wife and I visited the shipwreck museum in Whitefish Point, Michigan where this song was played over and over...

    While working on air conditioners in school the instructor was telling us about AC ripple on the DC voltage line and how you can’t “see” it on a digital meter. Mr. Simpson was able to see it and show it to the class. Mind blown by most. I think a lot of students are now seeing my admiration...

    I am still in RV Technician School in Texas at the NRVTA. Not much riding for me other than to school here lately. Some of you may recognize Todd the big beard as he has become quite a celebrity.

    Vado (SL), Gazelle, Oh My..

    I am curious on your thoughts of the Gazelle. I do like the internal gear hub, and the advantages of them.
