    Cyclist husband that I'm looking to keep up with-- help choosing!

    If you want to ride 40-60 miles. that would require you to spend saddle time to build up the stamina, regardless what bike or e-bike you choose. Averaging 15 mph, 40-60 miles would take 2.5-4 hours of saddle time, pedaling, non-stop. To get your body used to pedaling for that amount of time...

    Difference between adventure and touring cycling?

    Yeah, 660 Rallye KTMs learned the hard way for me. They are great for wide open throttle, soaking up bumps at high speed.. but not so ideal with technical narrow trails. that bike sure took lots of abuse and keeps on ticking. Eventually, I got tired of waiting for KTM parts, and they ran out...

    Difference between adventure and touring cycling?

    They are both 660 Rallye, 2001 & 2002 model year. Some drink, some smoke, some do other drugs.. for me, it's called 2-Wheel Therapy. As I get older, I do prefer the motos that allows me less maintenance time and just turn key & ride.

    Difference between adventure and touring cycling?

    As a teen in the 80's, I pedaled across the NA Continent from Seattle, WA to Ocean City, MD on a Huffy 10-speed packed with 30-40 lb. of camping gear. To me, just about any bike can do touring; whether you can tour comfortably or efficiently is prioritized differently for each rider. If there is...

    I think I understand New York's ebike fire problem a little better now.

    Does any of those 3 look like it had been an explosion or ignited to start a massive fire? Would the plastic part of the battery still be intact if the battery did explode? I'd imagine the fire would have melted the plastic parts & tires from all the e-bikes in a lithium fire.

    I think I understand New York's ebike fire problem a little better now.

    Let's not forget that plenty of electrical grid within NYC metro can be over 100 years old and still operating to supply modern day electrical demands; like super-sized washer/dryer, microwaves, dishwashers, heater, A/C units, electrical cookers, etc. I've been commuting on my (folding) bicycle...
