    Odd..Mike's Bikes had orders cancelled by Specialized ???

    If you read on Wikipedia Specialized is a serial litigant for all kinds of things. I have a Dutch friend who said the Specialized founder was hooked hard by a tranny in an Amsterdam brothel after trying out a bit of Lebanese hash. Maybe he still carries a monkey on his back from that. 🤣

    Are We Condemned to Strava?

    So what does an E-BIKE option in Strava do for YOU? It doesn’t even give you a calculation of your human power! You could also have a tag that said you were riding a JACKASS and it would be just as meaningful 🤣

    Are We Condemned to Strava?

    Thanks Stefan, I tried however it doesn’t work for me at all. Because it’s not aware of the bicycling routes. Here’s a great example- I started and ended a simple route along the River on the most traveled bike road in Tokyo - Mapy chose the motor vehicle roadways. RWGPS nailed it - for 125km...

    Are We Condemned to Strava?

    I fckd around in Strava for days trying to map out a route on an extremely traveled bike path in Tokyo and finally gave up. Google maps was slightly better but doesn’t have bike path knowledge. Then I tried RWGPS and planned a highly accurate 125km tour in about 30 minutes. The resolution and...

    Are We Condemned to Strava?

    Actually I regret signing up with Strava. I used it seriously twice. I flip it on for my daily ride now for tracking. The route planning sucks. I am now moving to RWGPS, which also has Varia Radar integration. Even though I’ve only connected with a couple people the Strava feed is noisy. I don’t...

    Bike Insurance

    $300 a bike per year. That’s fair value I think considering the risk of property. What’s good about something like State Farm is that it can be a tax deductible expense whereas a bicycle only company would easily be questioned in an audit. My CPA wants me to move to a general insurance company...

    Creo Light Splitter Upgrade for Front Light

    I believe, but not certain, there is a setting in the mission control app for lighting preferences. But I don’t have my bike handy today. perhaps it is configured off, or low setting? @Stefan Mikes might be a good person to ask about mission control.

    2021 Turbo Vado 4.0 Fenders and Lights

    The 2021 Vado SL 4/5 EQ are the same in regards to the rear fender light - the cable exits the frame near the backside of the motor casing between the chain stays. Your LBS or yourself could just remove the cable but you’ll definitely need some positive method to seal the hole because it’ll be...

    Vado 5.0 SL Charger bad or?

    Five years ago a fire burned down my cousin’s 245 year old historic house in Delaware. She lost her daughter, granddaughter, a baby that was being babysit, and their dogs. The cause was an electrical fire that started when a sofa pinched a lamp cord connected to a faulty GE Westinghouse...
