I got back on my bike today. Since last fall I’ve only ridden once, mostly because I’ve been doing work around the house and just haven’t felt like riding. I ride a nice easy 12 miles in near perfect weather, light winds, low humidity and 70 degrees. I have checked the forum a few times over...

I asked at my bike shop what the advantage of presta was. They said all the high end bikes came with them, which isn’t really an answer. My opinion is there is some theoretical advantage to them but it’s a solution looking for a problem.

@RabH I’d swear you are making up names of towns and other places, at least it seems that way to my “American” ears. I’ve been to Ireland so I know the names are real but it sounds like something out of a Harry Potter novel.

I’ve got a Trek Verve+3. It’s the only one I’ve owned but we’ve rented some. The Trek is by far the smoothest but also the least powerful. The Trek is using a Bosch system, the Active Line I think.

I do use a tractor for my driveway, it’s about 600 feet long.

I have a Verve +3 but it’s about 4 years old. You could add a range extender to mine. Maybe you can’t anymore?? How far to you want to ride? With mine I’m pretty much wore out after 30 to 40 miles so I don’t wish for longer range. The batteries an be swapped out pretty easily but it a take...

It’s been a few weeks since I’ve ridden. A sore knee that is better and very cold and snowy. A picture from yesterday looking out from my front porch after I plowed.

I sold mine on Facebook Marketplace, as I recall I got $40 or $50.

I’d say yes if they are responsible but one with no throttle and limited to 20mph.

I live outside of town but the closest town, about 20,000 people just got a bike grant of $200,000. I figure half of that will go to a study and the other half will go to painting a stripe on the road. They built one multiuser path that you feel every joint in the concrete and then planted a...

The High Trestle Trail. We are from Illinois and hauled our bikes to Iowa and rode some of that a couple of months ago. Very nice trail and welcome to the board.

Nice trip Prairie Dog, great pictures. Do you ever say “Toto I’ve got the felling we’re not in Canada anymore“. Hope you feel better soon.

I have a Verve +3. I have 6000 miles on mine. You should be able to see the total miles on the display. If the battery is fully charged you should be able to see the estimated range. Mine generally shows a range between 45 and 55 miles on the tour power setting. I’ve replaced a cracked rear...

We finally got a nice day in Gulf Shores Alabama, sunny, low humidity and temps in the 70’s. Not something we see back home very often, an alligator. We did 19 miles, our longest ride of our stay and last one of out stay.

I agree, hard to predict what if any tariffs will be on e bikes. American made? Is there one? I don’t honestly know either way.

I rode 16 miles on a bike path in Gulf Shores today. It parallels a highway that goes to Fort Morgan at the end of the peninsula. The bike path only goes halfway. We’re lucky hurricane Rafael didn’t keep coming north but turned west and has died down. A couple of pictures. Ones a nice church.

We continue riding in Gulf Shores Park. They have a lot of raised walkway/bridges over low and swampy areas. I’m not sure how long this one was, maybe over a mile. This a place we took a break at a walkway and viewing area. We rode 12 miles today. Great weather for temperatures highs in...

We hauled our bikes to Gulf Shores Alabama. They have lots of bike trails in the park. We are taking fairly short rides, a little under 10 miles. This picture is through the woods.

This has been going on in the automotive world for a while and John Deere tried it recently. The logic is you own the physical object but they own the software. Most of these attempts have been shot down. The right to repair has generally been extended to the owner and you can’t lock them out...

I got into a disagreement with my dealer who said the speedometer and odometer was more accurate than the apps I use in my phone. Anybody who has experimented with knows the phones are surprisingly accurate. Just compare it to your cars speed and odometer and/or your car’s gps.
