Not a hell of a lot of winding country roads out that way, Art? You certainly seem to find some balance with the forays over towards Banff and that region! I got a very nice ride in the other day on a rented Trek Verve over in Niagara On The Lake in Ontario, about fifteen minutes north of...

Probably one of Stefan’s spares. He’s got a million of them!

Certainly hope not, but I guess it would be pretty spectacular!

I have to say I am not getting a particularly warm and fuzzy feeling from the admin side of this equation. I don’t see a single entry or attempt at any communication over the genuinely lousy performance lately. I’m starting to get the same vibes that were around the last few days before the old...

Excellent choice, Jeremy! Hold off a bit on the RE, you might be surprised at how thrifty that motor can be. I have one for my Creo, hardly ever use it though I generally put it on the bike if a ride is going to be over 40 miles, which isn’t often anymore. Great color, too. I met and chatted...

I believe Dave is on it, the bike knows it has been derestricted at some point and is not going to run. I very much doubt you’re going to get much help from Giant; I would hesitate to spend any more money on this, I suspect it’s a lost cause.

Solid, fun ride today! Got about 10 miles into it when I turned west and observed the sky getting interesting ahead. There were thunderstorms predicted for this afternoon, but things got going early. I changed plans and turned left, heading south to see if I could outrun it. Yeah, right. A...

Holy smokes, what a party that was! Finally got it with Art’s technique of the jeweler’s screwdriver all by itself, but it was my wife who finally made it happen. What a jackass excuse for a design, though! As for etgo’s note above, it has almost always taken me two presses of the start button...

I’ve had almost three years without an A/Fib event and then a couple weeks ago my Apple watch announced I was in it… cardiologist appt today and it’s off to the Ablation OR sometime in the next month or so. I’m going to try and push it to November to not lose the biking in October around here.

Dragging open an old thread which I have been reviewing prior to today’s project after a good ride. For anyone wondering if you can run an 11-46 on a first gen Creo with the standard GRX derailleur: Note that this configuration is not supported by Shimano, but tightening down the B screw and...

I’ve been riding pretty much every day, but nothing particularly compelling as far as visuals. Went out with a couple of friends today over in Washington County, NY (right next door, so to speak), near the Vermont border on some roads we really love, and actually got some decent pictures...

By the time you head out to the mountain, it’ll have sixteen inches of snow on it!

Never miss it. I’ve had a deal with myself for a few years that says if I don’t go out for 20 miles on a given day i can’t watch it. Doesn’t always happen, but it is a strong motivator!

Gonna be 73 in a couple of weeks. Long time cyclist back in the day, took many years off creating a software company after retiring from the police in 2003, heard about something called an electric bike on a podcast in summer of 2016. Yesterday I completed the circumference of the earth - 24,901...

You’re gonna love a Creo

Details! So what was your impression of the Confluence and Salsa’s step into ebikeness?

Having said all of the above, there is a newly opened rail trail between Lake Placid and Saranac Lake, soon to be extended to Tupper Lake, in the nearby Adirondacks that is specifically restricted to Class One bikes, and cyclists in Lake Placid tend to be a little fussy. When I get up there to...

Don’t know about tattoos… NYC was a bit tough on ebikes for years, but I think they’ve backed off in the last year. Fortunately we are 200 miles north of there and around here there are some pretty fancy ebikes all over the place and I have never heard of any issues. I rode across the whole...

Well, Salsa as a brand certainly knows a few things about riding in Vermont… that new one might be a strong contender. Maybe a Canyon Grail: On, or whatever it’s called, but then you run into the whole who services it when it throws a fit? My Giant Toughroad put in a lot of very happy miles next...

Useful to me, so thanks! I just went over 6600 miles on my 2 1/2 yr old Creo and I’m still on the original chain and cassette. Getting ready to put on an 11/46 cassette if I can find one, already had three different chain rings at 46, 42 and 40. Currently on the 42, since while I liked the 40...
