    I recently got Covid. Likely Omicron. AMAA

    The earlier reports did indicate that smell and taste senses were not effected. I’m making an assumption that the strain I (and my entire family) got is Omicron. My household members did not all test at the same place. The reason I’m making that assumption is that when our daughter tested, it...

    I recently got Covid. Likely Omicron. AMAA

    It'll get to almost everyone at some point but here's my story. Was vaccinated early on in March 2021 and got the booster mid November 2021. I'm a government employee that has some interactions with the general public in a public building where there is a strict masking policy. We sparingly...

    Show us pictures of where you ride your ebikes!

    Del Valle? If it is, it’s been too long since I’ve been there. And I’ve never taken a bike ride over there…just a bit of fishing.

    Show us pictures of where you ride your ebikes!

    See, I look at where you ride and I wish I could ride there, too. 😁 We definitely don’t lack trails around here but not that many with awesome tree cover and mixed terrain unless I go to MTB specific spots…and my bike would be major underbiking. And I don’t mind underbiking but I’d be holding...

    Cargo or commuter bike? 1 kid in the city

    How often will you need a cargo bike? I thought I wanted one before but I like having a nimble commuter and leisure bike for most uses. I really don’t think I’d enjoy riding a cargo as my only bike option. When I want to take the kiddos along or want to carry a load of groceries, I attach the...

    Why: Copious heat energy generated ( wasted ?) by my TV CABLE BOXES

    Haha! I place stickers on all the LEDs in our bedrooms. All the other stuff I leave alone. They work as a night light for the occasional night time bathroom trip.

    Why: Copious heat energy generated ( wasted ?) by my TV CABLE BOXES

    Yup I remember those. If it has a DVR, it likely has a spinning hard drive as well as an inefficient processor.

    We recently moved from the Peninsula to the North Bay Area in California. I’ll miss some of the rugged coast we used to ride but I’m absolutely floored by the hills especially after a little bit of rain to bring out the greenery.

    New Wall Mount

    I pick it up. 😁 If that ever becomes a problem, it’ll have a permanent spot on the floor.

    New Wall Mount

    I just installed one of these minimalistic wall mounts for my bike. And even though it’s mounted on studs and my bike is not super heavy, it still scares me a bit. Maybe because my car sleeps under it. 😆 I should put a tether on my bike for the extra piece of mind.

    Rec'd Rad Rover 6 today - BIG

    One is 73 pounds, one is 67 pounds. Both are very heavy in my opinion. Is it the dimensions alone that you don’t like or is weight a factor, too?

    Would you buy or adopt a humanized pet?

    Humanized? I think most folks adopt pets to get some interaction with another living thing without the terrible human traits.

    Civante GPS/Computer mounting

    It's SKS Edge Aluminum fenders. They're really nice but it was a pain to fit correctly. The rear attachment where the chain stay meets the seat tube is recessed deep on our bikes so you'll need to fabricate or adapt something to be a spacer. And the front fender is made to mount to the front...

    True airless & tubeless tires created with plastic pipe !

    Imagine all the gravel that will get stuck in those nooks and crevices.

    Yamaha Urban Rush Reviews

    No problem. I don’t have any issues with chain slap at all. Chain is definitely not coming off. The chain line and both derailleurs needed a tune at 350 miles but I have not needed to retune since then. I’ve recently taken off the “dork disc” since it was starting to crack and have no issues.

    GoPro Hero 9

    Camera on a trainer? As far as mounting options, I guess it depends on what perspective you’re trying to capture and how inconvenient it is to mount. I like both perspectives from a chest mount or bar mount. Mine is actually mounted on my front fender and it’s very easy to place or remove so...

    Yamaha Urban Rush Reviews

    Hi! Mods are: 38mm Gravelking tires, Ritchey Venturemax shallow drops, Redshift stem and seat post, fenders + rack, Speedbox to make it Class 3+. Curiously, the UR and Civante come with 35mm tires while the Wabash comes with 33mm tires. I originally wanted the 1x Wabash but found the UR in my...
