If your riding mostly in flat areas cable brakes work great. My first ebike had cable brakes and because I live in an area with a lot of uphill/downhill riding I didn't feel real secure with my stopping power going down a grade at 30mph :eek:. Once I switched my cable brakes over to full...

I have both my home and my condo setup with Wyze cams. I have various versions of them, but the wireless is my favorite. Only needs to be charged maybe once every 4-5 months, night vision is good too.

I also added the Tannus to mine. I had bought my first bike, the Himi Cruiser in '99 and had goat head attacks right away, the Tannus was the only way to go! (I also live in a desert area in eastern WA). Bought my Cobra Pro in late 2022 to replace the cruiser and it was a great choice for what...

If you ride often enough your butt will get used to the seat to where you won't even notice it. I used to race road bikes in the 80's-90's and I never even noticed that hard seat. Then around 2000 I didn't ride for 4 yrs and when I got back on the bike in 2004 my butt was killing me...lol

My cobra pro I also shortened the kick stand by 2" because it was much too long and was hard to keep the bike from falling over. I also noticed a lot of pedal strikes which I never had with my cruiser. I've since purchased shorter cranks but have not installed yet. The Cobra Pro has been a...

Groc-Out is great. We find weird $hit there that you don't usually find elsewhere. When we get the urge for seaweed spaghetti that's where we find it. (its better then you would think!)

The Hiway Hi-Fi doesn't play standard records. The records it uses are one sided, have deeper grooves and I believe it plays slower. It is a concept that did not last long....maybe 2 yrs. Like the 4-Track or the mini disk.

Depends on what your looking for. I'd bet I have 50 albums of bands you cannot find online, plus the album art and the collecting is also fun.

This is my favorite.....its very good!

I don't leave my bike anywhere that it is not in my view, except at work. I don't see a huge problem with that, but what I'm more amazed by is the fact that there is a pay phone! You never see those anymore.

I remember stressing out once about 4 yrs ago on my ride home on my first ebike. Because I live in a hilly area it tends to consume a bit but that day I had to leave it on assist level 1 and keep pedaling and got home with about 2% left, so not much. My mid drive does so much better. I rode...

When I was younger we did a lot of riding on forest service roads on our motorcycles but there were restrictions in some areas due to risk of fire (sparks from the exhaust). At least there is no concern of that from the ebikes.

It makes sense for winter based clothes, but I was thinking of back in the 80's where stompandgo said they were wearing wool pants and shirts. I just never saw that, but then again I didn't pay close attention to what others were doing.

I have never seen anyone wear wool shorts or jerseys?? I'm no pro, but I did well when I did race in some local events. I have almost no pics of my races, but this one was from 1987 at end of my 25 mile ride in a Bi-Athlon and it represents how I usually dressed. Sometimes with no shirt and...

I have always thought spandex was funny. I used to race my road bike in the 80's and 90's and never wore spandex and still kicked a$$.

My early Himiway cruiser I bought in 2019 didn't have much limitation on speed and I was able to reach 35mph pretty easy while pedaling. I've since gone to a mid-drive and its limit is 20 which is fine for me. I'm not one to want to go very fast unless I'm in traffic, which isn't very often. I...

A couple photo's from the past year. Winter at Hyak, WA and on the Iron Horse Trail near Easton, WA.

Peter Noone also formed a band called The Tremblers in 1980 and put out a decent record. They disbanded the following year.

Well, The Archies and Monkees were manufactured bands. Jackson 5 was someone I remember being on a cereal box I would call a regular artist.....

You all assume that all bikes/ebikes are made overseas but they are not. Buy USA and no tariff. There were tariffs in the first Trump term and I don't remember prices skyrocketing and I doubt they will this time either.
