Okay Brambor, I'll bite: if Peaks is an island, how did you ride your eBike there? Inquiring minds want to know. Oh, and remember, ferry boat miles don't count in the National Bike Challenge. (Hint: if you want to play fast and loose, you can convert nautical miles to statute miles by...

Don't know about that, but as it was Trinity Sunday, we sure had Holy, Holy, Holy. That's always been one of my favorite hymns, and I know it by heart from my childhood. I was raised a Methodist but I'm an Episcopalian now (That church is only a mile away; at the end of my road.) As I have...

Hi Team: The weather Gods weren't smiling on us here in the quiet corner of Connecticut today. But I did get four miles in this morning riding to church. (Logged them on the website of course.) At church, we had a young trumpet player who was incredible. The music was incredible but this boy's...

Hi Team: I just got home from work and logged in my usual ten mile commute. Go Team EBR. Allen

Hi Team: I just got back from work and added my ten miles. Tomorrow looks good for biking and, like most every Saturday, I'll be working. Allen

Yeah Team, I wussed out today, and I'm kinda' glad I did. We had a line squall march through just about at quitting time. There may be t-storms again tomorrow, but I think I'm going to mount the Grey Ghost and take my chances riding to work and back. Yeah, God save our brothers and sisters...

Studded Nokian Hakkapelliitas, Bar Mits, Serious Boots, Good Lobster Claw Winter Gloves, and a dash of intestinal fortitude (or craziness perhaps). Allen

Another splendid day for bike commuting, so I put on my ten miles for the team. We were threatened with t-storms but they didn't materialize (probably because I put the cover on my bike's saddle). Tomorrow looks like it might truly be ugly, but I will figure that out when I wake up. Allen

Get a rope and give her a tow! :) Fear not Grench, I'll be back from an AA meeting soon, and I will update my work, church, and meeting miles tonight. Allroads rule! Allen

The ergo grips are PDW Whiskey Grips, perfect for a recovered alcoholic! I swapped out the stock saddle without even giving it a try. I have always ridden Brooks saddles and this bike wasn't gonna' be any different. Allen

Yeah, it is nice country for bike commuting. I see more cows than cagers on my route. And the cagers—bless their hearts—wave at me (and I'm pretty sure they're not giving me the one finger salute.) Smooth roads too. I feel like I died and went to heaven, now that I've gotten a bike that can...

Patience grasshopper: Hey you're as old as dirt too. (I turned 61 on April 30th.) Allen

I'm in the quiet corner of Connecticut. My commute takes me from Falls Village by the banks of the mighty Housatonic River to beautiful downtown Lakeville (pop. 928). I have three different ways to get to work, which I would characterize as hilly, hillier, and hilliest. Hillier is right behind...

Yeah, the delivery wait times for my Allroad slipped a few times, which sucked. All told, I waited around three months. That said, when you eventually get it, you'll forget the pain of waiting tout de suite. I know I was in severe angst, but I can't even remember how bad it felt. This bike is...

Welcome Greg: You are going to love the Allroad. I don't know if you've got hills in your neck of the woods, but if you do, rest assured; this whip is a climbing fool. I've only put about 600 miles on the clock of my Grey Ghost since last Fall, but I rode him as much as I could this past...

I didn't know that. I will log in the 24 I've got so far this week right now, and, since I don't want to let my team down, I'll add my miles any day that my (bike) wheels turn. Allen

Hey Grench, aren't you in Tornado Alley? Don't end up like Miss Gulch riding her bike in that twister in the beginning of The Wizard of Oz. (Although she deserved it; she took Toto. You on the other hand are clearly a good guy.) I only update my miles at the end of the week, so according to the...

My Optibike Pioneer Allroad takes me up to a few tenths about 21 mph on throttle only. It's reportedly 20 mph. It's mid-drive motor is also nominally rated at 500 watts but can actually consume about 54o or so when I am pouring the coal to it. Allen

Let's not all get our knickers in a twist here. My Allroad has been completely trouble-free, so I haven't had to test Optibike's customer service. That said, I strongly get the impression that Jim Turner of Optibike understands that companies exist to serve customers first, employees second, and...

Indeed, the waiting is the hardest part. I waited like forever my my Pioneer Allroad. All I can say is it was so worth it. (I've also said the only thing I waited longer for was losing my virginity.) When you get this bike, you are going to be so pumped though; trust me. Optibike have done a...
