    Shipping an Ebike with 250Wh battery from Europe to North America

    That's what I'm going to do. Bring my dead BH to France and get a new battery there for it. It is a US Class 1, so has assist to 32kph/20mph. And I'll have my Ride1up in the US.

    Glad you found the Miloslaw ale! You'd never know you weren't drinking a regular IPA. Except you don't get drunk. Great stuff. Europe really has a lot of very good alcohol free beers. Estrella Galicia Oro from Spain is the best that we've had so far.

    A ewe escaped the pasture through a hole in the fence. She was on the lam. "I'll weld that fence but good," declared Tom brazenly. Meanwhile, the mare was weaning her colt. She was exfoliating. One of the cows would only feed her offspring in the morning. She could only put out half-calf.

    "In my family, we never say prayers before eating," Helen said gracelessly. "Better hope Sam & Ella aren't working in the cafe's kitchen today then," Tom snarked poisonously.

    Bicyclist collides with a bear!

    And it was not a good thing. Happened in Canada, of course. Note that an ebike was instrumental in getting him to safety: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/may/21/canada-bear-cyclist-vancouver?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other

    That's the textbook my husband learned to cooked from. He once boiled eggs until they burned dry and exploded and hit the ceiling. He once burned the toast to flames 3 times in a row. When once again he brought home the wrong stuff from the grocery store, I asked, "What did your first wife do...

    While his treatise on handlebar adjustment was gripping, it was painfully obvious that the bike seat fitter didn't know his a$$ from his elbow. "Should we rent one of these crappy Lime ebikes to get up this hill?" asked Tom sourly as they toured San Francisco. "You can if you want. I'm just...

Bike parts could work on it. I've both bought and sold on it. One time, I was selling stuff...
