    Anyone get glasses at Costco?

    I use my RX from my optometrist at Wal Mart and then order from Zenni. I have been very pleased. When I told the employee of the optometrists office what I pay for a pair of progressive bifocals from Zenni, her jaw dropped!

    Tour de France 2024

    It amazes me how most all sports have given up on tradition. The Tour de France that has been around for what, 100 years plus is now not finishing in Paris. I heard it was due to the Olympics. Ok, with all the technology out there, or even modifying the dates a bit, there had to be a way to have...

    Do you wear cologne when you ride?

    Yeah, I can still smell Coppertone and Hawaiian Tropic at the beach! Covid hasn't jacked my smell yet!

    My GF wants to watch the Tour. We have Peacock. Anyone know what time to tune in today if you live in CA?

    Do you wear cologne when you ride?

    I can honestly say I've never smelled perfume or cologne on a ride and when I ride, I am on bike paths and usually around other riders. I don't even wear perfume or after shave on a non riding day! Maybe that's why I cant get a date!

    Rating you preferred eBike repair Facility.

    I can do most fixes since I grew up riding bikes, mini bikes and motocross bikes. You tend to have to learn how to do the basics if you want to go riding with the boys. These days as my teeth lengthen, I tend to do the basics here at home and anything strenuous or difficult that I cant figure...

    Has anyone used EBYCCO electric bikes before?

    I also ordered a Frey CC and had it for about 6 months. It was also fine-just a little heavy for this old guy. I still really like my Espin Sport (discontinued) for leisure rides and my Ride 1 Up Gravelster is a great exercise bike. Right now, no bike will work as it's been pushing 115...

    Has anyone used EBYCCO electric bikes before?

    Not sure if that bike is the best way to "wet your whistle" into ebikes. Stick with Lectric, Ride 1 Up, Aventon or Espin. I have had bikes from all mentioned and have been quite pleased. If you are not mechanically inclined, go visit your LBS...

    PROOF You Don't Need a [tent] Footprint!

    I was teasing. I love tent camping but haven't done it for a few years. Our last trip was a reunion of 10 or so classmates (some I have known since I was 5 years old) up to June Lake in CA. One of our pals is a tour guide. He got to the campsite early and set up the tents. He made it like...

    Tax on new e-bikes. Depends on where it is bought ?

    I believe it would be based on where the bike is shipped. I bought one for around that same price from Lectric and they shipped to my home in CA and the tax was approx 9%. I would budget between 7-10%.
