a really, really nicely integrated system. drivetrain and lights powered by the internal battery, options for expansion, no big displays on the top tube or bars! odd that the review didn’t mention the overrun issues others have, and the end result of the very different strategy for crank /...

what do you mean “pop?” if you’re rolling down hill and the pedals aren’t turning and it makes a loud sound, the number of places it could be coming from are very limited. does it also do it with the electronics and motor completely turned off? that would limit it even more, basically only the...

it doesn’t feel much different than any carbon road bike with similar geometry, I’m sure. My addict eRide weighs about 24lb, and descends a bit more solidly than my 14lb aethos. they have the same tires, similar wheels (a bit deeper and heavier on the scott), the same drivetrain and gearing, and...

I am not sure this collab will ever get past MTB. I think it’s even downhill only right now? they look crazy heavy.

I left a small bag with an iPad in it at a park once. realized about 10 min later, was on my commuter hub drive. Rode back quickly, gone. find my showed it moving down a nearby street slowly. rode there, didn’t see anyone. looked harder, saw an elderly chinese American lady. approached her...

sorry, mixed up the average listed (which is microamps) and the peak (which is milli) still won’t add up to anything meaningful for a bike battery!

we aren't talking about leaving lights on though, it's just an illustration of how much power a battery really has. a visible light is way way more power than an idle BLE SOC. tiny, tiny, tiny amounts of power. 15 MILLIONTHS of an amp at peak, 1 millionth average, probably around 3V. 3V x 1...

that would be a really dumb design to draw a lot of power just waiting for a connection. i have never had this problem with my bike that unlocks via phone. i don't lock it all the time, obviously, but i always have my phone on me and have never returned after a few weeks to find the battery...

not sure why a mechanical lockout - properly engineered - is dangerous. i've hidden airtags inside the frame of all my bikes, and my road bike power meter cranks have find my integrated into them. i use a good u-lock when locking in public (not one of the new gigantic grinder proof ones...) and...

don’t worry, all the bros whose jobs were taken by immigrant labor are going to leave the manosphere to do agricultural labor!! /s

same here, last dozen at Trader Joe’s was $3.99. surprising.

i love my speedplay pedals. have them on both the regular and e road bikes. i can't say the 54g weight savings between the nano and zero was really worth the money, but incremental gains in spinning things make a noticeable difference in aggregate :)

this is so true.

i‘m liking the current s-works evade 3 quite a bit. The align is also a very nice entry level helmet for occasional riders and the loma for slightly more enthusiastic ones. many choices and have never gone wrong with a specialized helmet.

the census bureau measures this fairly often. although cities do local counts, those can’t tell to what % of commuters use what mode because you don’t really know how representative the various points checked are. it’s actually up to 1.7% in NYC.

i doubt a lot of bike commuters commute 20 miles. and unfortunately only about one percent of people commute by bike on NYC, so the impact on traffic is going to be negligible.

it’s a bit of a lose-lose - the right wants “states rights” and local control and believe the federal government shouldn’t have any power at all, really. the left is generally overprotective and favors restricting things that might have a chance of being dangerous. the result is a hodgepodge of...

i discovered recently that the outlets in our garage (separate ground floor garage of a 6 unit / 4 story condo building) are on the house meter. i feel slightly bad about charging the bikes and scooter, but as noted it really doesn't add up to much energy. perhaps .5kwh a day between the three...

strava is surprisingly big, 150M+ users globally and probably 20-30M in the united states (they won't say.) and of course, those users tend towards being 25-50 year old men with disposable income, so it makes sense that there are so many add-on products/plugins/extensions/etc to monetize the...

there must not be many other riders where you are, if i waved at everyone i’d never have two hands on the bars! i only acknowledge other riders when we’re in pretty remote areas.
