    72 years old, need recommendations

    Budget? Was thinking something with an added sidecar might be a good start. Probably not a lot of options at this time.

    Can we change the culture?

    Yeah I don't get road rage in fact in that type scenario if the other person gets my goat that's a lose IMO on the other hand if I drive off laughing at the other person that's a win. Also you can't use deadly force in that scenario if you can safely leave if you do you're committing a crime...

    Can we change the culture?

    With concealed carry you (3rd person) will avoid those pissing contests with a passion more so than if you weren't carrying knowing what it could escalate to if things get out of control.

    Can we change the culture?

    I've never had an incident but I only ride where allowed and here many riders legally conceal carry self included. Not that it would ever come to that but knowing it's a possibility the next guy might be could be a deterrent for some people to smart off I suppose. I "was" a long time member of...

    New Motobecane ULTRA eAdventure! / Preliminary Mid vs. Hub Drive Stats

    New Motobecane ULTRA eAdventure! / Preliminary Mid vs. Hub Drive Stats

    I almost feel guilty climbing a hill like it's nothing but I do make up for it by putting in more miles and rides than I would unassisted.

    Throttle or no throttle. That is the question

    I was pedaling uphill in a mountainous County Regional Park where e bikes are allowed when passing some hikers one of them told me to turn on the battery. I told him it was on and he said I was trying to fool them. I wouldn't mind a throttle but not that big of a deal not having one but if I...

    New Motobecane ULTRA eAdventure! / Preliminary Mid vs. Hub Drive Stats

    It worked out in that I ended up finding a Trek Powerfly 9.7 with 70 miles on it. More money but I'm happy with it. I was waiting for the m600 but would have gone for the other integrated battery one but in an email was told neither was expected till the end of this year.
