A terrible tragedy yes…intentional?…I think not. A young construction worker on to more of the same Work. I believe the accident was on the weekend which means he was out celebrating late the night before (I hear the young do this kind of thing) and now pulling a trailer with no room for...

This is but one of a gang of Alpacas that gave me the stink eye as I slowly rode by. I envied their obvious comfort thinking my Merino wool jersey was no match for their fashion choice. The flower beds I posted last week seem to be peaking despite the intermittent sleet I was riding through...

Looks fine with the battery cover black. Beautiful

Ebike mania is beginning to come to the attention of my friends. Part 1… One last week sent me a link to a Chris Hayes (TV commentator) podcast with Rad Bike President. Much was about future infrastructure and the Rad guys intro to ebikes. So my friend asks what about Rad as a bike? I...

I plunked down $3k for my first Trek in 2018 knowing nothing (hadn’t found EBR) but needing a new way of exercise after my weights suddenly got too heavy. My reasoning was the high dollars spent would embarrass me to ride it rather than let it gather dust in the barn like my rower. The miles...

Much colder today...seasonal with a cruel wind in gentle Virginia terms, 'light May air' in Rab's Scotland. Yet brisk enough for these vultures to enjoy a coffee break sunning themselves. These intelligent birds likely sense the weather changing to miserable sleet overnight.

Yes…to some extent though the growing season has been steadily growing. ^0-70 last few days. Sleet Sunday. I will post a few more pictures as the season progresses. There is a long double row on this part of the road

The severity of the winter thus far in Central Virginia...and on my front porch stacks of firewood I'd rather burn than move.

What I would like is for the website to notify me when others post on threads I have posted in. Lately I get zero notifications contrary to my saved preferences. Perhaps this situation is due to IOS updates

A Cash song derived from Appalachian Mountain music…the line I remember from that traditional “Daddy’s grave just went below the line” And…in the 50s I recall my mother (several times) cooking breakfast for Johnny…and my grandfather in the living room complaining about his long hair

And my buddy in New Hampshire wants me to visit

That’s ‘Albacrackey’ to you sir

The NA version of Trek is different than Europe’s. Still…range is not an issue…depending on assistance level the battery might last the week

A look into the future of EVs...

I went with a Brooks sometime back about 5k miles ago. I had heard they were uncomfortable at first and found that to be an understatement. After a few hundred miles I switched it for an Ergon which was good. But shame led me to re-try the Brooks and the Ergon is now on my guest ride. As a...

The major historians of the 1880s (Southern) wrote the tune that many still dance…the war of Northern Aggression ie: the Civil War was not about slavery but State’s right. That’s the basement of so many of our problems today. History is of course more than dates and statues…”Think now/History...

My friend James from town drove out for his first ebike ride of the year. The great weather lured him and we cycled mostly empty roads for 17 miles...perfect weather, low 60s F. A great ride that deserved a fine lunch which I was treated to TYVM.

I post this as a non-subscriber so I’m Not sure about a paywall. It is worth tracking down…the writer’s comic voice in deciding on a bike comes with some fun historical anecdotes (!st ebike in 1890s)...
