    Getting What You Need From a Cycling GPS

    I use a Garmin Zumo XT on my bikes. That device is actually a motorcycle GPS, not a bike GPS. I want it for navigation. It does have an internal battery, but it won't last on longer rides so I have power banks that I put in the handlebar-mounted water bottle holder to extend run time.

    This past Saturday, August 17th, 2024, I was riding in Lilydale Minnesota and was somewhat surprised to see a paved multi-use path near State Highway 13 that was marked "NO BIKES" in yellow paint on the pavement. Is that common is other members areas to have paved multi-use paths, but then to...

    I saw someone recently that was wearing high visibility socks. I never gave them much thought until seeing them. I have done some Google searches and there are some that are hi-viz yellow/neon green and others that are not hi-viz, but have reflective material in them. Are they worthwhile or a...

    Do they make head lites that...

    Check out CandlePower Forums. It is one of the better website that I have found to learn more about lights. I will also add that I don't think lighting is an either/or issue. For example, handlebar vs. helmet light. Having a handlebar light and a helmet light is a great way to go. If you add...

    For Those Of You With Handlebar Mounted Mirrors, One Mirror Or Two?

    I only have a single handlebar mounted mirror on both of my e-bikes. I am giving some thought to adding a second handlebar mounted mirror. For those members here that use handlebar mounted mirrors, do you just one or do you have two mirrors?

    Removeing throttle to be compliant and responsible

    My first e-bike has no throttle. The second one I bought does. It is a fat tire e-bike that I bought for winter. I didn't think I would ever use the throttle, but I find that I do if I am at a busy intersection and want to cross more quickly. Occasionally, I am in a spot where I am slowing...

    Are Some E-Bikes Manufactured In Which The Only Difference Between It Being Type 1 Or Type 3 Is A Setting In the Firmware?

    Reading through the definitions of Type 1 vs Type 3 e-bikes, I am wondering if some are built that are sold as Type 1 or Type 3 and then a change in the firmware switches it?

    Electric scooter trend?

    The electric kick scooters are popular now and it seems like I read more about proposed legislation to e-bikes than I do electric kick scooters.

    Lights Save Lives

    I joined Candle Power Flashlight Forums in 2002. As a result I have learned a bit more about flashlights and batteries. I eventually bought my first 18650 flashlight. Battery technology in the 18650 cells aren't particularly well known by the general public, but I really like having the ability...
