    Rode my acoustic today.

    Not all carbon frames are good, or even safe. There is a lot of science and testing that goes into the design and manufacture of a carbon frame. Sometimes taking a chance on a bargain bike can cost more in the end, (and be dangerous). I still ride my Wilier Carbon road bike and my Canyon...

    How to ride in the smoke.

    I heard that it was because you guys didn’t rake the forest floor. 🙄 Sorry, I know that its not funny.

    If I Only Knew Before I Bought a Kommoda

    Yamaha’s key is for removing the battery only. I think that a key as an on switch would be annoying for many and still allow the bike to be pedaled away by a thief, (or just get put into the back of a truck).

    Bikes that are not bikes

    These mini bike type ebikes are a pretty common phenomenon these days. I think that there will be a lot of buyers remorse if the laws are ever enforced, but that doesn’t seem likely. They are unlikely to have much affect on eBiking in general unless a panicked citizen or official groups us all...

    Yamaha warranty. Something to consider. "Frame made wrong"

    My wife’s Yamaha Cross Core developed a creaking sound when braking. I was able to isolate it to the steerer tube. I took it to our Yamaha ebike dealer and they confirmed that it was the steerer tube, (the steerer tube is an interference fit to the crown and if the fit is not adequate, it will...

    Groundbreaking Trike?

    That’s ok. I’m late to the party. He can argue about the government’s laws, but there is no getting around the laws of physics. The world is full of Flat Earthers and people that think that three wheels are stable and force vectors are a left wing conspiracy. The only thing that will be...

    Addmotor's new mid drive 1000W split rear differential trike

    In case you are talking to me, I did not accuse you of anything. I simply asked if you were getting something for your extremely enthusiastic and over the top promotion of Addmotor. So, are you ETrike on another forum, (I hope that there aren’t two of you).

    Addmotor's new mid drive 1000W split rear differential trike

    So Dash, or ETrike, or whoever you are, do you get something back from Addmotor? You sound a bit like you are advertising for them.

    Diamondback vs Yamaha?

    Just so that potential Yamaha customers know, any Yamaha dealer, including motorcycle shops are required by Yamaha to perform warranty work on Yamaha ebikes. The Wabash RT has some interesting software with an “Automatic Support Mode”. It’s also a Class 3 and has a three year warranty...

    How's the bike infrastructure where you ride?

    New Hampshire tends to be a state where you are on your own in pretty much every way. I love the countryside, mountains and lakes, but in my opinion, the New Hampshire attitude could use a little adjustment toward kindness. Vermont tends to be much kinder and more progressive. That said, this...

    How's the bike infrastructure where you ride?

    It’s hard to rate what doesn’t exist. The nearest bike lane is 25 miles away.

    2023 - Our Rides in Words, Photos, Maps and Videos

    Here is a little footage from Northern New England. Our bright blue skies are being replaced with smoke from our neighbors to the north. Sorry, the footage is on a fully manual machine, but it did have my Garmin.

    What Would You Have Done?

    Never pull a gun unless you are willing to use it. Hopefully, the pick-up driver learned a lesson. I’m glad that the situation didn’t escalate. Stay safe and please use discretion.

    Should We Eliminate the Time Change?

    For many if not all of us, it’s been this way since before we were born. Standard time seems to be a better balance of the day’s daylight hours. Most people no longer have to tend their Victory Gardens after work, but it’s nice that the sun doesn’t rise too early and we get the long evening...
