    I took a detour today to check on what usually is a lush garden though they haven't broken ground yet. I know last year they were getting greens from it until Christmas time. the river is the South Anna, or at least a branch of it. And the critters are what passes for my cattle herd now. I took...

    There are no bar maids here to my knowledge...my short road turns to dirt farm road behind the nunnery ("Get thee..."), part of three thousand acres. The farmer recently passed but before he did showed me the short cut through the woods by the Sisters...he'd take it to the liquor store as I was...

    Very interesting what you do for fun in Poland. As for: I'd like to see @Chargeride descending that wall or climbing it on an e-bike! Be careful of what you wish for, he's probably booking passage as we write. Had a pleasant ride of 11 miles today the only fly in the ointment was a dog...

    I went a bit further---14.5 miles today. Every year this corridor of flowers lengthens. A quarter of a mile or so I'd guess now.

    Perhaps if Stefan hadn't been so enamored with the man's wife he could have sold him his Vado and bought the new one. I'm going to send your review to my friend up North...I'm glad you didn't mention a price

    Stefan...I saw your pictures and short ride on Strava. Beautiful bike. A good friend in New England told me the other day he was finally breaking down and 'thinking' of an e-bike. When he visited last fall he rode my guest bike...a Trek Allant 7s. We did a ten mile circuit, hills like where he...

    New tires

    I’ve had Mondials rated at E25 whatever that means for over 7000 miles with their Plus tubes. I ride mostly local rural roads…mostly chip seal…no flats…and I rarely need to check tire pressure.

    I’ve been off the bike since Xmas eve when I had a little disagreement with a cute oral surgeon…and then there has been the bad weather. I went out today in zero degrees (Celsius…I always wanted to say that). And the little I did ride did raise a sweat, surprisingly. Winter or not the birds are...

    What Do You Do With Your Old Unused Conventional Bikes?

    Some years back I exchanged my old (90s”) Bianchi with new tires to a Mexican friend power washing the house. He ate the the Home Depot supplies in return for the bike. Later he told me the impact the bike had on his evening job on the horse farm where he lived. He saved 20 minutes in the...

    Drug driving

    Long time connoisseur of MJ to the extent of growing my own since 1980. Never a drinker. No problem with driving on the stuff, in fact found it useful for long drives. That has changed in recent years as I have switched to edibles since my lungs rebelled. My friend (scientist…methodical) makes...

    In central Virginia (Oilville if you must know) the weather has been very warm…since my stitches were removed (hand) I’ve gone for a few short rides while babying the swelling. It’s been very dry in the east of USA so pictures of snow and sleet are greeted with “this could never happen to me.”...

    Two MIKs...sort of

    I have a 7s in a medium for friends who visit me in the country. My 9s is an extra large which means I’ve spent little time on the 7s though I am using its low mileage battery. I bought sometime ago a bag for the 7s rack which didn’t mate. This thread stimulates me to re-examine the situation

    I took my last ride for a few weeks (hand surgery tomorrow). The 15 miles carried me silently past this crowd of unsuspecting gravid Black Angus...or for the riders from town…big deer. The historical sign would be news to Virginia’s Governor Youngkin.
