    2024 - Our Rides in Words, Photos, Maps and Videos

    I went camping for a couple of weeks in Minnesota and Michigan. Riding the MUP along the 'north shore' (Lake Superior) south of Grand Marais, I came upon a nice little bridge over a stream. On one side was the big lake, and looking the other way there was a nice waterfall. That ride was...

    LMT'D Cushioned Seat Recommendation

    I used a Cloud 9 for a while on my LMTD. But lately I've gone back to a different Selle Royal model, the Essenza, coupled with a Kinekt seatpost. The Kinekt is a game changer, and although I tried the Cloud 9 with it I find that I like the Essenza better. Everyone's backside is different, though.

    Front page LA Times today regarding Ebikes

    I've been happy with my Toro battery-electric mower. It's on its 3rd season. My lawn's surface is very rough, too, due to my wife's chicken which scratches divots everywhere. So this mower gets bounced all to heck.

    Propella C9 V2 Pro short term review

    Living near a company store is a huge advantage in the selection process. Hardly anyone gets to test ride a Propella. Did they say they'll service it there for you, by chance?

    WTF! Why do people cheat on fitness apps?

    Hanging in the shower for an hour with the dudes seems a little weird, but at least they are only playing with their phones..... ;)

    Gazelle Ultimate C380+ or Ride1Up Prodigy V2 CVT (belt)?

    A couple months ago I test rode a Tenways Ago T with the Enviolo, and maybe it was just me but I didn't like the Enviolo. Surprised me because I thought it would be the bee's knees. I have a R1Up LMTD which has been a nice bike, and I'm confident the Prodigy is nice, too.

    Lights Save Lives

    Yeah, remember when a 200 lumen light was a big deal? I still have a few of those. An old Fenix TK20, the one with the rubberized grip and WW emitter, resides on my nightstand. There's still a Romisen in my wife's vehicle glove compartment. CPF brought my latent flashaholism to the fore...

    Lights Save Lives

    Thanks! It's not as severe a stepdown as many lights have. That's good.

    Lights Save Lives

    Does that BC30 maintain the 1500 lumens for a couple hours as the ratings suggest, or does it step down after a few minutes?

    Good uses for walk mode

    I have read in the past that people in Quebec act snooty. That image is reinforced by the comments made here. If I ever have to drive through Quebec, I hope I don't have to stop anywhere.

    Lectric Lite Won't Charge

    Does the battery stay on the bike, and the charger plugs into the bike somewhere? Or are you able to take the battery out and connect the charger directly to it? If the latter, you might need to buy a new battery from Lectric. But if the former, there's a chance that a connection is loose...

    Good uses for walk mode

    Like some others, my R1Up's walk mode is too fast. Useless to me.

    New Lectric Xpress

    Time's a-wastin'! For a couple hundred more you could have a Ride1Up LMT'D V2 at your place in a week. I like my version one LMT'D well enough. 750W motor, torque sensor. Just another option.

    Rode up on homeless person sleeping on bike trail.

    Seems like the odds are pretty low that a second mass shooting would occur in the same locale so soon afterward. Sort of like lightning striking twice in the same place. But definitely do what feels comfortable.

    Too bad you couldn't have found some 12mm rings so they would actually fit you.... :p

    CF Racer1 Road Delivered Today

    I am curious to know what is your forward speed when pedaling up a decent incline on the 50T. Must get a bit wobbly if you're going too slow, doesn't it? :)

    Como brake line leaking at lever

    I have a brake lever leak also, but on mine it seems to be coming out right where the lever engages into its housing. It is not at the other end where the hose attaches, and it is not at the fill opening. Does that sound like the entire assembly (lever and housing) will need to be replaced...

    WTF! Why do people cheat on fitness apps?

    I rode at a nice easy pace on my last ride, and it was refreshing. More time to look around, smell the plant life, etc. Usually I'm pushing hard up the hills, but it was fun to take it easy for a change. Might have to do it more often.
