Wowzer! Such service. Sounds like a pit stop at the Indy 500. I hope you remembered to ask for your senior discount. Did you tip any of the young bucks who survived the ordeal? (Guess I'd better make sure I eat my Wheaties™ that day.) Allen

I rock! (So modest too.) Go Team EBR! Allen

Hey Greg A: Didn't one buzzard say to the other buzzard, "patience hell, I'm gonna' kill something?" I feel your pain. I was in your shoes last Fall. Once that Allroad shows up, you will most certainly forget what a pain it was to wait for it; trust me on that score. This National Bike Challenge...

Hey Ann M. are you on the Team too? If so, you don't have to man up either. I survived my end-to-ender on Dugway Road and stopped to have a looksee at the place where my bridge used to be (as I basked in the triumph of another five miles for our little Team). Admittedly, the mighty Housatonic...

Man up Team (well except for PowerMe; we like you just the way you are). Not only did I not get rained on commuting to work today, but according to the WX radar, I'd better do my end-to-ender on Dugway Rd tout de suite. My cottage is in the Tri-State region: New York, Massachusetts, and...

Mmm…I love that kind of boring. I've got a pair of Marathon Plus tires waiting for me to mount on my Optibike Pioneer Allroad, aka the Grey Ghost. I was gonna' wait until the stock CSTs wore out, but I think I'll mount these puppies sooner rather than later. I've got a pretty hot descent on my...

Hey J.R. that's pretty country. That eBridge your bike is parked on reminds me of a bridge in the town I grew up in (Milford, Connecticut). It's called the kissing bridge but regrettably I never got to test out that feature. It did get me across the Wepawaug River many times though. Even though...

I got a headlight and a tail light from Light and Motion. The Urban 800 up front and the VIS 180 (not Micro) tail light. These weren't cheap, but they are well-made (in the US), charge by USB, and the company provides excellent support. For example, about two days after I got them, I ripped the...

Yes indeed Ravi. My dog and my eBike are a couple of my best friends. I ride in to work most days, and I get there in a better mood than when I leave my cottage. It makes me remember how much we all have to be thankful for. I too am divorced, yet I have more joy in each day than some folks enjoy...

Yes indeed Team: I took out my Winter helmet liner today and kinda' wished I'd put the hood up on my hoodie. Clear blue sky, 53º, and no chipmunks to dodge. It doesn't get any better than this, does it? I have so much to be thankful for. Go Team EBR! Allen

That's actually my secret KenM. I work six days most weeks and I do most of my miles commuting to work. Thankfully I have the best job in the world…no sh**. All the young turks spend their days trying to figure out how not to do any work. Me? I love to work. After 43 years of it, I've found that...

I don't have a TV KenM. I have a rich inner life though, according to my former wife. Go Team EBR! Allen

Nice try PowerMe. But I regret to inform you that my round trip to CVS was twenty miles, eclipsing your performance by a whopping half-mile; woot! I don't mean to get all competitive on ya'; it's really not in my nature and I totally respect women, having grown up with three sisters and raising...

Hey Ken, I used to ride my bike over that bridge after they closed it for cars and trucks. I figured if it had been standing for 125 years and had a five ton weight limit it would probably carry skinny me and my eBike over the Housatonic. And it did so just fine. Then they turned it into a...

Hey Team: Well Ken, my reign as the holder of the second slot on Team EBR is over. (Wowzer, that was brief.) Now if Bud doesn't ride tomorrow, I'll advance back from third place. When I saw that, I was tempted to go end-to-end on my road again, but it's kinda' dark here now. You've heard about...

Happy Birthday buckaroo. I'd give you a pinch to grow an inch, but you'd probably just widen your lead on us. Go Team EBR! Allen

This is handled by the software in the controller. It knows how fast the bike is traveling by virtue of the speed sensor. In my bike's case, there's a magnetic sensor on the left chainstay and a corresponding magnet on one of the rear spokes. So no matter what gear you choose, the eBike's top...

Aww shucks Ken. Fear not. This old crotch pheasant had to ride into New York State after church to get his meds. And tonight is my favorite AA meeting. Now that the bridge has been removed, that's a nine-mile ride (instead of two). So I'm in the middle of a 29-mile day here. Go me! The new...

Wowzer Adrian, that's seriously phat. You've got a whip that must kick a** and take names. I just full-screened that picture and my Optibike (the Grey Ghost) moved into the corner and faced the wall. Allen

Yes indeed Grench: That's another one of the unexplained mysteries of life. Like why does the campfire smoke always blow in your face no matter how many times you change where you're standing? Maybe we should drop a postcard to the Rosicrucians. (Does anyone but me remember their little ads in...
