Hey, I'm not Barbie...Ken-eremy. 😁💗

Thanks, Stefan. That's so sweet!

Since July 11th our Mid-Atlantic area has been sweltering under an endless string of 90+°f days with wretched humidity keeping every one inside in the AC. Even the certifiably insane weren't crazy enough to be out in that heat wave. My bikes stayed in the garage, and I stayed either in the AC or...

18 miles on the paved road yesterday. Left home at 8:30am to beat the heat and humidity, plus get out ahead of the massive To Do List waiting for me at home. So it was a quick up-and-back to exercise my legs and take in the quiet, deep green semi-rural scenery. I got up close and personal with...

@Stefan Mikes - Awesome job with that Imperial century! Those Vado are a powerful blast to ride, aren't they? 😁👍🚲

A fellow after my own heart! I did the same the other day - the wineberries growing in prolific crowds, lining miles of our country roads, were ripe and ready to be picked. The birds and assorted wildlife had already been feasting on these sweet berries, but there were still lots of juicy fruit...

Yesterday was the 4th of July - a regular calendar day everywhere except in the US where it holds an auspicious place as our Independence Day and, with businesses and government offices closed to facilitate freedom from work obligations, it comes complete with family gatherings, barbeques, hot...

No walk mode for this trail! It was more like "hop" "hop" (yank rider into a fast trot on the rocks to keep up) "hop" "slide" "pause" (to select the best way forward between the boulders) "hop some more" (while dragging your rider along as fast as their legs could keep up). He chose his route...

One of the most treacherous trails included in one notorious east coast Endurance ride was on Indian Graves in the Fort Valley George Washington National Forest in Virginia/West Virginia. It was so difficult that you were better off dismounting, unsnapping one rein end so that you had a long...

That was a jaw dropping bike ride! I rode 50 mile Endurance rides on rock-strewn nasty trails exactly like that, on a nimble, savvy part-Arabian horse, when I was competing. Never in a million years would I ever attempt to ride it on a bike, so hat's off to you for an awesome effort and some...

Thank you. 💗 We have been promised by the national corps of meteorologists that our skies will clear just in time for our humid friend July to wander onto the scene with a cold beer in one hand and a beach towel in the other, and take up one of the pool lounges to "staycation" for the month...

Well, there'll be no cycling in my neck of the woods for the next few days. The smoke from the Canadian wildfires have blanketed the eastern seaboard and Midwest US once again. My neighbor G and I had plans for a ride yesterday morning. The prior day had been an artist's dream: clear, bright...

I can't quite wrap my brain around how chargeable roads could even be a possibility.

Jesus Christmas, Stefan!!!! You crashed and were unresponsive for several minutes??? 😯 Then vision impaired and were out of it when you were stopped, sat down and questioned?? That's a concussion, dear fellow, and an ambulance trip to the hospital in my mind, not a green flag to continue...

Yes, that would help the interstates but what about the county roads, the 3rd tier roads, the gravel roads, all the roads that dip into the fuel fee pot? Maybe, instead of the government paying billions of dollars to subsidize the fossil fuel industry, it should use that money to parcel out to...

@None- love your orange marmalade cat!!💗 What worries me the most is...the Dept of Transportation will see the transponder as the "future" to ensuring "equitable highway use fees" when EVs start to out number the ICE cars. That's the impression I got from the way the program is being applied...

Can't wait to hear how fantastic your Day 1 went!!!! 😁🚴‍♀️🤞

I'm on the opposite end of the scale. The only thing my electric vehicles require on the same level as an ICE are tires. Brakes, not so because of regenerative braking (my Leaf's brakes at 77k miles were "like new" per the mechanic that did my state inspection. He was astonished. Also, no...

It was a shock for me when I bought my Leaf 5+ years ago and had to pay a registration cost $120 more than a gas car as a "highway use fee". Since then the cost has been modified downward (probably due to citizen pressure) by the inclusion of the fee to any gas car getting better than 25mpg...

Still very beautiful in a simple, gentle way. Just look at that flawless sky! I love horizons!
