LOL!!! That comment is too funny for words.😄 Not too long ago I'd get the funny looks and the teasing (ohhhh, that's cheating! Har-har) about my ebike, but all I get now is "how do you like your ebike?", "who made it?", and "what range do you get?" Other cyclists are recognizing my ebike on...

And you trusted this guy? My experience with salesmen says they often know squat about anything, including the cars on the dealership lot. They are the best spreaders of misinformation alongside social media. Saw a big ol' boxy Kia SUV van plugged into the free Level 2 charging unit at the...

PedalUma - that's a very pretty staged photo. Very interesting , too, since a pair put to a wagonette isn't supposed to be coachman driven as this photo implies. It's a sporting vehicle that is supposed to be owner driven. The leather top (used for bad weather) behind the driver's seat is a dead...

Rome said: Never went to Key West Florida. If there local government can ban ebikes they are serious about safety I wonder what the consequences for drunk ebike riding and you kill a flamingo or pelicans. I'm guessing the above post was erased or changed, but just in case folks are wondering...

The adult killed wasn't wearing a helmet. Any simple fall where the head hits the concrete could result in TBI or death. Even from a standstill. Why the local government didn't first and foremost mandate helmet wearing is ignorant. So now all ebikes are relegated to streets instead of walkways...

There are quite a few bypasses for paywalls. I just grabbed this one rather than a perennial favorite archive.org or archive.ph or archive.is From Reddit's r/Piracy forum: "... Some general information you need is that there are two types of paywalls: hard paywalls and soft paywalls. Hard...

Thank you! 😁Trust me that I always, without fail, have a motorist or two slow down to a crawl just to call out their thanks to me when I'm "on the job". It's always heartwarming. I smile and wave to everyone, and have just about everyone wave and smile back. Neighbors ALWAYS stop for a moment to...

Maybe you can have your Porsche Macan back without that $1k oil change charge... GOODBYE GAS Major automaker confirms it will completely abandon gas car after unveiling it’s first-ever electric SUV The famous manufacturer has electrified one of its models By M.A. Loreto of the US Sun...

I do have to be careful picking up litter on my paved adopted road because of the lack of decent road shoulders (deep ditches for rainwater mitigation) heavy weeds and brush, sharp dropoffs), and blind corners. We have only this one paved road going through our neck of the woods, the rest are...

That would seem reasonable except (I should have mentioned the road itself) it would have been impossible for a car to park along this road (rural, paved, very fast traffic, zero shoulders with twisting blind corners) at the spot where the test was found. They would have been killed by speeding...

OK. I don't have a picture to go with this story of what is the most interesting thing I've found on the road EVER to date- and that includes the $50 check made out to the local foxhunt and the $20 bill on the side of the road. No, this one really takes the cake. And I wouldn't have seen it...

Cute car. The range is decent, too. 250 miles. That's really good for the price.

Photo from my ride today in 72°f (22.1°c) temperature. Three days ago this landscape was covered in 5" of snow and nighttime temps were in the low teens Fahrenheit. The snow is now meltwater, and the gravel roads soft and mushy. Today has already broken the record for warmest day in January...

"The Kingswood? "You're not taking the Kingswood! I just shampooed the battery!" I have no idea what he means, but I found it hilarious all the same.

I'd love a chance to get down to the OBX again to see for myself how the fight against the beach erosion is doing. One day during our annual vacation in Kitty Hawk, long before the beach replenishment project took place, I took my ebike for a ride south 20 miles towards the national park lands...

Does anyone remember the Pinto? Small, cute, affordable, and (if the news would have you belive) prone to bursting into flames at even a minor rear end accident. Seems the gas tank was inappropriately placed in front of the axel, exposed. Took a few fires before Ford sighed and moved the fuel...

I agree. I think the data, to be honestly accurate, needs to be one on one with the year of manufacturer, rather than a lump pile of data without regard to vehicle age and safety inovation. Because the data sets weren't discussed, we don't know how the numbers added up except it being based upon...

I didn't carry an ax in my old F250, but I did have a small fire extinguisher behind the back seat. Never had the need to use it, thankfully. It was expired by the time we sold the truck and thus went to recycle. I don't keep an extinguisher in the Rivian at the moment, but I might add one just...
