This is the off topic section. It's as good a place as any. A lot of us use micro-mobility vehicles as tools for covering distances. I for one hope to see more of this kind of thing. One less car is good for all of us.

Oh cool! Looks like they're no longer using the eBikeMotion X35 system that employed a cadence+speed sensor. This seems like a pretty good value if someone is looking for a relatively light-weight bike that feels like a bike and doesn't ride in super steep or sustained hills.

I’ve had flu that felt worse, too. But my bout of Covid lasted much longer than my typical 1-2 days of flu suffering.

The earlier reports did indicate that smell and taste senses were not effected. I’m making an assumption that the strain I (and my entire family) got is Omicron. My household members did not all test at the same place. The reason I’m making that assumption is that when our daughter tested, it...

It'll get to almost everyone at some point but here's my story. Was vaccinated early on in March 2021 and got the booster mid November 2021. I'm a government employee that has some interactions with the general public in a public building where there is a strict masking policy. We sparingly...

Del Valle? If it is, it’s been too long since I’ve been there. And I’ve never taken a bike ride over there…just a bit of fishing.

See, I look at where you ride and I wish I could ride there, too. 😁 We definitely don’t lack trails around here but not that many with awesome tree cover and mixed terrain unless I go to MTB specific spots…and my bike would be major underbiking. And I don’t mind underbiking but I’d be holding...

How often will you need a cargo bike? I thought I wanted one before but I like having a nimble commuter and leisure bike for most uses. I really don’t think I’d enjoy riding a cargo as my only bike option. When I want to take the kiddos along or want to carry a load of groceries, I attach the...

And here’s a short vid of my ride yesterday

Haha! I place stickers on all the LEDs in our bedrooms. All the other stuff I leave alone. They work as a night light for the occasional night time bathroom trip.

Yup I remember those. If it has a DVR, it likely has a spinning hard drive as well as an inefficient processor.

We recently moved from the Peninsula to the North Bay Area in California. I’ll miss some of the rugged coast we used to ride but I’m absolutely floored by the hills especially after a little bit of rain to bring out the greenery.

I pick it up. 😁 If that ever becomes a problem, it’ll have a permanent spot on the floor.

I just installed one of these minimalistic wall mounts for my bike. And even though it’s mounted on studs and my bike is not super heavy, it still scares me a bit. Maybe because my car sleeps under it. 😆 I should put a tether on my bike for the extra piece of mind.

One is 73 pounds, one is 67 pounds. Both are very heavy in my opinion. Is it the dimensions alone that you don’t like or is weight a factor, too?

Humanized? I think most folks adopt pets to get some interaction with another living thing without the terrible human traits.

It's SKS Edge Aluminum fenders. They're really nice but it was a pain to fit correctly. The rear attachment where the chain stay meets the seat tube is recessed deep on our bikes so you'll need to fabricate or adapt something to be a spacer. And the front fender is made to mount to the front...

Imagine all the gravel that will get stuck in those nooks and crevices.

No problem. I don’t have any issues with chain slap at all. Chain is definitely not coming off. The chain line and both derailleurs needed a tune at 350 miles but I have not needed to retune since then. I’ve recently taken off the “dork disc” since it was starting to crack and have no issues.

Camera on a trainer? As far as mounting options, I guess it depends on what perspective you’re trying to capture and how inconvenient it is to mount. I like both perspectives from a chest mount or bar mount. Mine is actually mounted on my front fender and it’s very easy to place or remove so...
