I have a dog maneuver that lets me open up a gap as I go by. The dogs on my commute either couldn't or wouldn't close the gap, and soon they'd give up. That was on an old steel Raleigh road bike sans motor at the fittest time of my life. Pretty sure I could still drop most dogs on my low-power...

Why stop with just one?

You made that dog's day. At the peak of my roadie period, way back in the late Bronze Age, my daily commute was 10 mi each way over rural roads. Made quite a few little biking buddies. They'd wait for me to come by and chase their hearts out every time. For nearly all, it was just...

Wait, a serious roadie who doesn't drink coffee?? Is that even legal?

Interesting. The forum still recognizes me as always, so no clue as to what account needs activating. I thinks it's just some kind of trap. Maybe the Google Ads engine thinks I'm just the sucker to fall for it. ;^}

That big and totally opaque "Activate your account now" ad taking up half of my phone screen at the top of nearly every page makes EBR look like a trap. Horrible optics. If I were coming to the forum for the first time now, I'd turn tail and run. I wouldn't mind more ads if that's what it...

Anyone know of a tabulation of the bike manufacturers represented in the TdF top ten GC places over the last 5-10 years? How about TdF, Giro, and Vuelta combined?

Every stage a surprise in this Tour, and today's was no exception. What an effort by Groves! Wonder what his average speed was after taking the lead?

Looked it up: The 2025 Vuelta a Espana has 21 stages running from August 23 through September 14. Just what I need — another 3 weeks of Alzheimers-inducing sleep loss. Will be very interesting indeed.

You had me at No. 1. A very funny guy, that creator.

You guys keep pooh-poohing the infectious disease theory, but it sure fits the fact pattern. Viral syndromes can be pretty sneaky.

Definitely something to be said for the "don't worry, be happy, just put a pinwheel on it" approach to life. Maybe I should keep some pinwheels on hand. ;^}

Shortening battery service life qualifies as harm. I know authoritative sources are hard to come by when it comes to ebike batteries, but I'd really like to see one on the part I put in bold. Certainly important if true, but this is the first time I've heard it, and I've done a fair amount of...
