I've been commuting on my (folding) bicycle & e-bike in NYC traffic since 2013. I've come close many times of getting hit in traffic, only once I got T-boned in the rain, low light visibility by and SUV that ran a stop sign; killed my folding bike, but I walked away with minor bruises & sore...

"Destroying any nation does not involve the use of atomic bombs or long-range missiles.. It only requires lowering the quality of education and allowing cheating in the examinations by the students. Patients die at the hands of such doctors. Buildings collapse at the hands of such engineers...

From my experience of converting (nearly a dozen of) bicycles into ebike since 2013; I can say that (for your purpose) getting a complete ebike straight from manufacture would be much less hassle & likely cost much less than trying to find a donor bicycle/frame and convert to an ebike. Even...

My wife is about 4' 11", I've modified the Fiido T1 PRO compact cargo ebike for her, with shorter crankarms (152mm vs 170mm stock), smaller chainring (also allow better climbing ability) sweepback handlebar, etc. Since the T1 PRO was sent to me for free from Fiido due to recall of the original...

I bought my house 20 years ago, found it while I was on my bike ride. The seller had only sign a contract with realtor and yet to list the house on the market. I ride in areas with preserved open spaces, close to national park, rail-to-trail access, or powerline areas; that way I know...

I wear foam earplugs on my motorcycle, in the subway, on buses, in movies or most noisy environment.. but rarely when I'm cycling. Maybe I don't ride fast enough for the wind noise to bother me; but I am a musician and I make an effort to protect my hearing. Disposable foam earplugs are...

From my experience, living and commuting on bicycles & ebikes in NYC metro since 2013; bicycles & ebikes have been essential to transforming the traffic pattern in NYC and surrounding metro. Please do not speculate about the specifics of the fire if there is no data with sources provided...

Just this morning (2AM), I was driving from Staten Island to Brooklyn, crossing the Verrazano https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verrazzano-Narrows_Bridge I was driving in my Toyota Yaris, watching a man sitting on hit electric scooter, going up the bridge at 50 mph and above 50 mph down the...

Everyone has a different butt, what's comfortable for one may not be the same for everyone else. Being an avid cyclist for the last 35+ years, I've learned that padded bike shorts can provide more than just seat comfort. The form-fitting padding and spandex provide extra support the glutes...

Actually, you don't have to move; you can run for office and vote how our federal dollars should be used. Should it be spent to imprison the traitors from Jan 6 who think democracy don't exist in our country and demand special diet & pillow while in prison, when colored folks are getting killed...

Sustainable future is all about thinking & doing beyond yourself. Just because you don't use it or personally don't choose to live where traffic congestion is a thing, doesn't mean the majority of human population can have that luxury. Just because you cannot figure out something, doesn't mean...

But not every EV can reduce traffic congestion. Single occupant large EV like car/truck just take up more space on the road; which in term increase congestion & travel time; reduce battery range. I think they should pay more for the infrastructure rebuild. Future CAN BE free energy everywhere.

Like E-buses?

Personally, I'd like to see infrastructure shift to roads that can charge your EV, then EV wouldn't need such heavy battery or overall vehicle weight.

I'm a big fan of EVs, EC.. not so much.. https://tubitv.com/movies/100002025/vice-news-presents-cult-of-elon?start=true https://www.imdb.com/title/tt27419597/

I've ridden bikes & motorcycles on five different continents. Filtering to the front of intersection is what most folks on 2-wheel (bicycles, motorcycles, scooters, etc..) do around the world and in NYC, Philly & DC area. In NYC, some intersections have designated area just behind the crosswalk...

I used to live in Sea-Tac area in the early 90's, rode my 10-speed Huffy everywhere among the hills, maybe not as much vehicle traffic back then but I think riding among motor vehicle traffic is a skill you develop as you ride more. Be aware of your surroundings at all time, make your presence...

It's all relative. Your presence on a ebike or bicycle on public roads is what you need to keep yourself safe among motorists. Being fast isn't always the solution to keeping yourself seem or safe among cars on public roads. How you make yourself present on public roads is how the motorists...
