    Tire Liners

    Your need really depends on your surroundings. If I didn't have goat heads I would not have needed Tanus liners IMO. Since we do have them, I would not be riding without them. As a kid in the 70's we just had to get used to fixing our flat tires, but I also think our bike tires were a bit...

    Dish soap is what you use to lube tires... I learned this in auto shop in highschool way back when they had auto shop classes... :)

    Tire Liners

    My first ebike cruiser I purchased I ended up with a flat the 2nd or 3rd time out, real pain in the butt. I purchased Tannus and never had a flat afterwards (2 yrs). I had then sold my cruiser and bought a Cobra Pro 2+ yrs ago and with the Tannus I added I have yet to get a flat. I installed...

    In the USA if you work in the government you get lots of paid days off. The private sector (real world) not so much, maybe 6. My job we get Christmas, new years, thanksgiving, july 4, memorial day and labor day.

    Big guy looking for good range ebike

    Himiway bikes are great for bigger folks. I had a cruiser and currently have the Cobra Pro. I'm 6'3" and 220. Check out their bikes, they are known for getting good distance and supporting bigger people!

    How much to spend on a ebike?

    I do like the idea for someone wanting to get into ebikes and doesn't know anything, renting would be a great way to learn.....

    How much to spend on a ebike?

    Cost all depends on the riders needs. My first bike was a $1400 Himiway cruiser which was fine for my first bike and I was able to learn about ebikes and so forth. Had it for a couple yrs but where I ride has hills and I also ride off road so I decided I wanted full suspension and mid drive...

    How much to spend on a ebike?

    I would buy a cruiser bike like a RadRover, Himiway, Aventon, etc.... hub drive that runs around $1500 or you could go to Costco and get a Sondor if they are still selling those there for around $900. It is a good entry way into the ebike sport. I had a cruiser for 2 yrs then decided I wanted...

    Used Chopsticks, What Do You Do? Most Whimsical, Practical, or Creative Ideas.

    If your riding mostly in flat areas cable brakes work great. My first ebike had cable brakes and because I live in an area with a lot of uphill/downhill riding I didn't feel real secure with my stopping power going down a grade at 30mph :eek:. Once I switched my cable brakes over to full...

    Home security camera.

    I have both my home and my condo setup with Wyze cams. I have various versions of them, but the wireless is my favorite. Only needs to be charged maybe once every 4-5 months, night vision is good too.

    1,200 miles later (A7 Pro)

    I also added the Tannus to mine. I had bought my first bike, the Himi Cruiser in '99 and had goat head attacks right away, the Tannus was the only way to go! (I also live in a desert area in eastern WA). Bought my Cobra Pro in late 2022 to replace the cruiser and it was a great choice for what...

    1,200 miles later (A7 Pro)

    If you ride often enough your butt will get used to the seat to where you won't even notice it. I used to race road bikes in the 80's-90's and I never even noticed that hard seat. Then around 2000 I didn't ride for 4 yrs and when I got back on the bike in 2004 my butt was killing me...lol

    1,200 miles later (A7 Pro)

    My cobra pro I also shortened the kick stand by 2" because it was much too long and was hard to keep the bike from falling over. I also noticed a lot of pedal strikes which I never had with my cruiser. I've since purchased shorter cranks but have not installed yet. The Cobra Pro has been a...

    Places that hate bicycle riders.

    Groc-Out is great. We find weird $hit there that you don't usually find elsewhere. When we get the urge for seaweed spaghetti that's where we find it. (its better then you would think!)

    When was the last time You listened to a record album?

    The Hiway Hi-Fi doesn't play standard records. The records it uses are one sided, have deeper grooves and I believe it plays slower. It is a concept that did not last long....maybe 2 yrs. Like the 4-Track or the mini disk.

    When was the last time You listened to a record album?

    Depends on what your looking for. I'd bet I have 50 albums of bands you cannot find online, plus the album art and the collecting is also fun.
