    Is Anybody On Here Using A Garmin Bicycle GPS?

    As posted above, is anybody here using a Garmin bicycle GPS? If I were to get one, I would want one with touchscreen and multi-band GNSS. Of those four that have that, the Garmin Edge 840 is the least expensive. However, when I look at the details of the Garmin Edges, they come preloaded with...

    What Are My Choices For A Fat Tire E-Bike?

    I removed the "belt-driven" part. My wife and I were at the Minnesota State Fair today. I kept my eyes open for e-bikes and the two brands I ran across today are Denago and Rambo. The Denago I saw stated it was a Hunting 1 model. Further, it stated it is a new mid-drive mountain bike designed...

    What Are My Choices For A Fat Tire E-Bike?

    I live in Minnesota on a gravel road. Once we get snow, the gravel road is dangerous for e-biking. However, I am not that far from asphalt. I am considering a fat tire e-bike for casual winter riding. What are some of my better choices?

    Bicycle Helmets With Lights

    That makes sense. I have also considered an additional front and rear light. For the daytime, I am considering a light with a different flash pattern in the daytime. Since I already have a Fenix, I suppose just about any non-Fenix brand would have a different flash pattern. The one that has...

    Bicycle Helmets With Lights

    I am still using my Troxel equestrian riding helmet on e-bike rides. I figured that it would buy me time until I determined what to buy. That was over a year ago! I have given some thought to buying a bike helmet with lights built in. Are they worthwhile or just a gimmick? My Gazelle has...

    Strava - RideGPS - other apps?

    I am also an "odd man out" in that I don't use a traditional bicycle GPS will riding my e-bike. A couple of years ago I bought a Garmin Zumo XT, which is a motorcycle GPS, for my Can-Am ATV. When I bought my Gazelle e-bike last year I decided to get a mount for it, too. One of the challenges has...

    Hi from the capitol city - St Paul Minnesota

    My wife and I rode the Willard Munger Trail from Hinckley to just south of Willow River on Saturday. We had very pleasant weather and almost had the trail to ourselves. We found a great little place for lunch called Crazy Mary's Cafe. We will likely do a future trip from Willow River to...

    GPS or odometer?

    This is what was suggested: "Find a USCGS Classic Horizontal Control benchmark that has been surveyed to a high degree of precision using professional GPS surveying equipment. The accuracy is usually within .5 CM. You can usually find one one of these benchmarks fairly close to your location...

    Hi from the capitol city - St Paul Minnesota

    My wife and I did the Root River State Trail today. We started from Lanesboro and rode to Rushford and back. It was a great ride and good part of the trail has shade from tree cover to keep it a bit cooler. https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/state_trails/root_river/index.html

    Gazelle Ultimate C380+ Rear Tire

    The rear tire on my Gazelle Ultimate C380+ went flat this afternoon with 2774 miles on it. At first I thought that wasn't very many miles for a bicycle tire, but I don't think e-bike tires last as long as non-ebikes. For those with the Gazelle Ultimate C380+, how many miles did you get out of...
