    Man I am slacking last year. Riding stats are going down.

    Sounds like it's your own as-phalt. :D

    Fulfilling a dream

    Quite the trek to your eventual opening! I never would have guessed it'd take that long. Someone on an RV forum experienced loss of pressure to their indoor LP heater (they have 11 lb tanks, so you can imagine!) in the middle of the night. For the future they rigged up a pvc exhaust extension...

    Winter Sucks

    That's too bad. They make great "redneck fuses." As an added bonus, they produce an audible alarm when they overload. ;)

    Black's Beach, eh? The beach got mega-stoned. :p Maybe the cliff was trying to cover up the clothing-optional sunbathers. o_O

    Newbie looking for advice

    I'm thinking, if you just want "sufficient juice to take the load off" the legs, then don't necessarily be put off by an ebike that feels "underpowered." On a mid drive motor the more torque you produce, the more the motor will help out, so with the Gazelle (for example) I think the only way to...

    Burnt to a Crisp: Name and Fame for E-Bikes Aflame (Open Thread of E-Bike Fires)

    Winter Sucks

    Yesterday it hit 70 degrees here, so definitely a riding day. A little dirt as you can see, but mostly it was on pavement.

    Winter Sucks

    Have you ever tried an alpaca sweater? I bought one last year and it's crazy warm. Thinking about getting another one.

    I am thankful for my wife and family, the roof over my head, climate controlled interior, a comfy bed, long hot showers, and more.

    Giant e-bike click sound when start pedaling, chain delayed engagement

    Is this thread a new kind of click bait? :p I couldn't resist.

    A physical metal tool rubbing against the metal of the contact is abrasive to some degree or other. Not saying it's taking a large amount of metal off, but it is abrasion by definition (the word means rubbing with friction). I bet you never thought of sex as abrasion, have you? o_O Gentle...

    Which electric system Hub or Mid drive can be turned off and ride like a regular pedal bike?

    On my ebike, the gearing isn't as low as on my regular bike. So the ebike feels like a slug when trying to go up even a modest incline, because I can't shift far enough for mechanical advantage. Try before you buy is good advice.

    Deoxit is a great contact cleaner that takes the oxidation off the surface and leaves a protective film. Less wear on the contact with Deoxit than from a mechanical abrasion.
