    Going to document my weight loss

    Healthy diets all have on thing in common, they are a good balance of complex carbs (vegetables, whole grains and legumes), lean proteins, and good fats, and shy away from processed foods, sugar, simple carbs and trans fats. Diet sodas are thought to be unhealthy as well, even though they...

    Going to document my weight loss

    I don't think diets work long term, they deprive you of something, although the "keto" diet is an effective short term way to lose weight quickly, a very low carb diet long term is not sustainable or healthy. Something like the "Mediterranean" diet is a good lifestyle eating plan that is very...

    how do you feel about the current regulatory system for e-Bikes in the US?

    I don't have a problem sharing the trails with bicycles, e bicycles, or pedestrians. Not horses though, they're too big and if they get spooked can really hurt somebody, and the fact they dump that recycled hay out all over the trail. Nasty stuff to walk or bike through.

    what to do if the bike you ordered online is defective.

    I bought a Chinese bike off the Internet last year. I bought it through Amazon, and thought if there was a problem I might get a bit of help from them (Amazon) if needed. So far no problems, except a broken front caliper, my fault. When I emailed the vendor about buying a replacement, they...

    how do you feel about the current regulatory system for e-Bikes in the US?

    Why don't I care whether people turn a throttle or pedal, or a combination of both? What's wrong with me?

    how do you feel about the current regulatory system for e-Bikes in the US?

    Motorcycle guy here, love my throttle. My e bike is more of a tool for me and thus, when I want a lot more of an adrenaline rush I hop on one of the M/C's. Back on topic though, I think one reason Ca. isn't too restrictive with e bikes is that we are electric friendly here and we have a lot of...

    how do you feel about the current regulatory system for e-Bikes in the US?

    The only regs I checked before I bought an ebike was the California DMV's, specifically to do with registration and insurance requirements. Other than that here in California, no one official or otherwise seem to give any notice to e bikes. Strange as it seems in such a highly regulated state...

    Bollard Posts from Hell

    Slow down and line up better when you go in between the columns. I fail to see how this is even an issue.

    What is wrong with Spandex...

    Yes on hi-viz yellow for visibility. My street bike helmet, and my bicycle helmet. I'm pretty certain they make a difference at being noticed. I see cagers sometimes look my way halfheartedly, and then swing back around and actually see me.

    Electric Car thread

    Last week, at $6.22 a gallon, I filled my Toyota Tundra and it was about $132.00 I remember. Fortunately, that will last 6 to 8 weeks at the rate I drive it, just for trips to the dump, etc. Most of my miles are on my motorcycles and the e bike, but still quite a bit of moolah for a fill up...

    What is wrong with Spandex...

    Yes, my G/F was just the other day nag........, err, suggesting that is, that I should get knee and elbow protection. Any recommendation as to ones that fit well and stay in place?

    What is wrong with Spandex...

    I wear snug fitting boxer style "choners", under baggie shorts so as to keep everything in place, but it matters not to me how people dress.

    Getting to know the ebiking demographic

    No health issues for me, but I'm interested in e vehicles and thought this was a cost effective way to see what they'er all about. I was looking for a real moped on and off for years, with pedals, so as to bypass DMV registration and insurance requirements here in California. Very hard to find...

    First E-bike purchase - Specialized Vado thoughts and sizing advice

    In general I've found if the size is close to moving up to the next larger you should. Being cramped on a bicycle is awful. It's like shoe, a 1/2 size too small is a lot worse that a 1/2 too big. At least that's what I've found. But I think the trip to the dealer is well worth it for an...

    How to improve bike and pedestrian safety

    My Fiber Stream in the background and tow vehicle in front. I do about 3,000 miles a year in the Toyota and the rest on my motorcycles and e bike. Even at only 1800 lbs or so, it's too much for the e bike to tow.
