Yeah, I used to work for a boating magazine as a technical editor. After 13 trips to Miami one Winter, an acquaintance said, "wow, you get to travel." I corrected him, "no, I have to travel." Allen

Hey Grench: What no motor? I probably couldn't even walk it, let alone ride. Like Dorothy, I betcha' can't wait to get back to Kansas. Allen

FWIW, it wasn't cheap, but I've been using this Ultralite German Mirror that I bought from Amazon: Just to muddy the waters. (You're welcome.) Allen

You guys are really getting me where I live. With me tipping the scales at 116# soaking wet, Grench can tell his wife that I'm ⅓ the man he is. Oh well, at least this morning it's almost 38º F as I get ready to shove off for work on the Grey Ghost. The big question here is when do I put the...

I didn't see a price for them but they look a lot like my Planet Bike Borealis winter cycling gloves, which are a lobster claw style with a removable inner polypro glove. Depending on which size you need, these cost $33.00-$40.00 from Amazon and they are as warm as toast. (I use Bar Mits too...

Hey KenM. and croo': Yeah, it was a mite windy this morning, but when I rode to work today what I really didn't like was the temperature: 19º F when I left my cottage. Officially switched over to the lobster claw gloves, a nice thin cap under my winter helmet liner, fleece long johns, the boots...

Hey 87112: Hang in there. It gets better. Allen

Hmmm… That seems kind of strange. I've found this to be a very friendly forum and I daresay I've never gotten the impression that our mods were stuck-up snobs at all. Also welcome, and I'm glad you're enjoying your new eBike. I bet your machine rocks. Best/Allen

If I leave the door open, I'll probably have ice in the dog's water bowl. (I don't think Callie would like that at all.) How about it team? I hope everybody is still spinning even if the challenge is over. Go Team EBR! Allen

Well, New England is a 'changing. Everybody has pots of mums on their porches and the leaves are dropping all along my route. This is actually great biking weather though. I'm still doing my ten-mile round trip commute to work and my five-mile end-to-ender on Dugway Rd. most every day. God...

Yeah Ron: That's a sweet-looking whip you've got there. If anyone wants to have a look at the Wellgo pedals in red, here's a picture of the ones on my Optibike Pioneer Allroad: Allen

Hey KenM: Here's a picture of my best bitch Callie with her best friend Bella, a white standard poodle. As you can see, they're good sharers; two dogs, one tennis ball. Allen

Wowzer KenM.: I thought I had replied to your post a couple of days ago. Losing a four-legged pal is a rough row to hoe. My experience is that there are thousands of great days with a pet and then one that really, really sucks. Let me share a salient quote from one of my favorite philosophers...

Hey KenM: That reminds me of the quote from the end of Mark 13 that I messaged my boss after he caught me asleep at my bench for the second time: Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: Lest...

Hey JayVee: I'm down with that, but only if we can handicap KenM. by moving all the snow from my yard down to his. Actually a Winter challenge sounds like a lot of fun. (Ladies and) Gentlemen, mount your studded snows, and bring it on. Our Captain should probably be whoever lives in the highest...

As the cowardly lion so modestly put it in one of my favorite movies of all time: "aw shucks." I think we owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to our cheerleader and captain: KenM. and Brambor respectively. If we need to vote someone in as (reformed) Town Drunk, I would humbly toss my name into...

All that is true Ravi: You must have talked to my former wife. I have a carpenter coming over to hang a new flatscreen on the wall of my cottage and I told him I would step outside when he used his stud finder, so I wouldn't set it off. Allen

Hey KenM: Glad to be of some use. However, methinks you're barking up the wrong tree: I bet you could do even better with Brambor. His latitude is a couple of degrees closer to the North Pole than mine. (He might have gotten your place down to 86º F.) Speaking of fans, I never used mine this...

Hey PJungnitsch: Boots man: It's a mouthful, but I got a pair of Columbia Men's Bugaboot Plus II Omni-Heat Snow Boots from Amazon and they have truly rocked my world for cold weather biking. They're not the electric ones, which I've heard aren't quite so good, but they are seriously warm...

Greetings all: Yeah, I hear you talking. I just went out for my end-to-end ride on Dugway Rd. to log some extra miles for Team EBR and I froze my tutu off. This was probably the last ride of the season with the fingerless gloves. I need those fingers. It's not quite time to break out the...
