    I got back on the bike today. I haven’t ridden much in the last month, bad weather, family stuff, went down to southern Illinois for the eclipse and other lane excuses. I rode 16 miles today, warm for this time of year 84 degrees f. A picture from my ride, not much to see and a couple of...

    Ebike rack

    It looks like a vague copy of a Thule Easy Fold. If it’s any good that’s a great price.

    Dutch Police not messing about.

    Walmart? Gunfights? Haven’t seen that yet. The great thing about Walmart is after I leave I feel good about myself. I’m 61 and don’t need an electric cart to get around, I feel good about my cloths, how I look and how much I weigh.

    Another nice ride Rabh. Now it’s time to fess up and tell the truth. You make up the names of all the towns and places just to make them sound more British. ;) I joke but I do find the names entertaining!

    I rode 24 miles today, cool and a bit of a breeze but not bad. A couple pictures of a hilly stretch of road, both shot from the same spot, one looking forward one back. The green field is winter wheat, it’s the first thing to turn green. I ended up having to crop my images to make them...

    Trek Marlin+ 6 Vs Aventon Ramblas?

    The specs sure look better on the Aventon. What’s the weight rating of it. The Trek is rated at 300 pounds, including the bike, you’d be about 25 pounds over on that. To me the aTrek looks like it’s meant to be a bare bones bike.

    Deaf Riders

    I’m also glad to see your riding. When I ride into the wind I often don’t hear vehicles approaching. You just have to keep an eye on the mirror. On a side note I have a co worker whose son had a similar thing happen but only in one ear. Rather sudden hearing loss an no explanation. Good luck!

    The wife and I did about 16.5 miles today. It’s still unusually warm here but tomorrow will be 25 degrees cooler. A picture from our ride. Often there just isn’t much to take a photo of. We rode by an abandoned house that I should have stopped and got a picture of but I didn’t think of it...

    I’ve been riding with my wife the last couple of weeks, 10 to 16 miles at a time. I need to find something to take a picture of there just isn’t much to see lately. The weather has been unusually warm for late winter a hit 75 f today.

    I’ve been away for a while, mainly because winter was here. We had quite a bit of snow and icy roads buts it’s mostly gone now. 58 degrees here today so I rode an easy 10 miles.

    Home security camera.

    We have a single Alibi camera. It works well and you can look at the current view and the past.

    Share Your Most Memorable Ride and Why It Stands Out

    Moab Utah hands down. They have some nice paved trails, one short one that is a few miles long that runs along the Colorado River along the cliffs and another longer one that runs north out of town. If you like riding on gravel there are miles of trails.

    I rode 17 miles today. A mandatory barn picture and a chimney left standing where I’m sure was a house at one time. The dark object to the left of the chimney looks like an old wood or coal burning furnace. I looked at Prairie Dogs pictures and videos and I didn’t realize that part of Canada...

    I rode 19 miles today and found another barn. I think this one is actually a corn crib.

    It is necessary to remove the headlight from the Riese & Muller Nevo

    It’s a nut and a bolt, maybe a wire needs to be disconnected.

    I rode 15 miles today, a very nice fall day. I found a barn I had yet to photograph and a picture of the new performing arts center at the campus of WIU. The steel is going up.

    Does anyone suffer from battery range anxiety like people do with electric vehicles?

    Like Mr. Coffee my backside wears out first. I can pretty easily get 50 miles of range and the farthest I’ve ridden is 40.
