Welcome to the club Charviolon: I got an Allroad almost a year ago, and it has almost 2,000 miles on the clock now. I accessorized it myself, which gave me something to do while I waited for it to ship. I leaned pretty heavily on the PDW catalog, getting their Whiskey Grips, Loading Dock...

Welcome Scotty: I took delivery of a Pioneer Allroad almost a year ago and it has proved to be a really sweet commuter. I've got 1,800+ miles on the clock and my ten mile (round-trip) commute includes some really stiff grades. I don't even need to drop down to the granny chainring for any hill...

Sweet. What are you buying Grench? Something even faster than the Pioneer Allroad I bet. (As they say in politics: Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely.) Allen

Hey KenM: The Grey Ghost fixed himself. (I guess he knew better than to wait for me to do it. Perhaps he talked to my former wife Maggie.) I like both of those pictures, but I think the Harley-D with the snowplow would be a handier rig around here. Since it's 82º F right now, it's hard to...

Yes indeed Greg: Welcome, welcome, welcome. My Pioneer Allroad just turned over 1,800 miles and it is better than any car I've ever owned. I use it to commute to work and I get there in a better mood than when I leave my cottage; it's that good. The hills won't give you any troubles whatsoever...

Ask the young'uns KenM. It's all about the metrics, but don't even get me started man. Actually my Optibike crapped out Monday. Strange stuff…I powered it up after work, and when I went to throttle it up, she no go. I contacted the builders out in Boulder and they sent me a PDF of how to remove...

Don't get too cocky KenM. I've clawed my way up to the No.2 spot on Team EBR. I wouldn't exactly say I've got you in my sights, but…even so. Of course, tomorrow's a new month, and I'll probably get my comeuppance then, but it's a storied position, while it lasts, capisce? Things are pretty quiet...

Hi Greg A: Yeah, I remember the waiting for my Allroad (but just barely). You've got the patience of Job which is probably just what you need here. I'm sure you're getting tired of the waiting game, but when it shows up, you'll think you died and went to heaven. Trust me on that. My Allroad just...

Showers Pass FTW. It isn't cheap, but the good stuff in life rarely is. Allen

Hey KenM.: Don't know what's up with the sound of silence. Maybe Summer vacations…? Fear not buckaroo, I'm still out there and racking up the miles. Just rolled in from my work commute and in a little bit I'll do my end-to-ender on Dugway Rd. for another five miles. Another fifteen mile day for...

Yes indeed JayVee: rMBPs rock! Mine is a 15" late-2013 and it runs about sixteen hours a day, since I use it as a server at work and for movies and such at home. Best laptop on Earth, but whatever computer has that distinction always wears an Apple badge. (If you cut me, I bleed six colors.)...

Hey KenM. your Grandfather had one sweet ride. Which Indian is that; a Super Chief? Being a Grandfather is fun (I am one myself). When my eBike grows up, it wants to be an Indian! Go Team EBR! Allen

I saw how cool Map My Ride looked (Grench uses it). So I dl-ed the free version. I'm still logging my rides manually, as I am afraid to change horses in the middle of the stream. That said, I do enjoy the elevation and speed profiles this app gives me. It is compatible with the National Bike...

Well you got me there KenM. Go Team EBR! Allen

Hey KenM. we're not that old. That's a color picture of me in 1960 three posts back. Back then by crackety, a lot of the movies were even in color (not all of them though). But yeah, I can't get over these new iDevices. When I take a picture with my phone, it magically appears on my computer…in...

Hey KenM.: Thanks for noticing that I made platinum. The good news is that I will still talk to the "little people." By the way, that can't be one of my baby pictures. (I was goofier looking than him when I was a baby. And it's been downhill ever since.) For example, see the attached photo of me...

HI croo' I've put over 1,400 miles on my Optibike Pioneer Allroad over the last ten months here in the quiet corner of Connecticut aka the Northwest Corner. In that time, I've seen exactly one eBike: the one I'm riding. Dunno' what that's all about. The strange thing is that this area really...

Hey, where did everybody go? God willing and the creek don't rise, I believe I will make platinum tomorrow and I was named Employee of the Month at this morning's staff meeting. Go Team EBR! Allen

Yeah, us old crotch pheasants can be like that, you young whippersnapper. Unlike Ken, I was definitely listening to David Bowie when I was twenty years old (in 1974). I inhaled too. I think KenM. was about that age then as well. (We are both officially older than dirt.) Now get off our lawns...

Hey KenM. I too used to smoke a pipe. (Don't ask me what was in it though.) Go Team EBR! Allen
