    Comparison new bike to tow trailer

    Hello, I visited Adelaide in November and rented a folding ebike from Cit-E-Cycles to ride along the Torrens Linear park trail.

Riding up hill I found the Latch V2 had plenty of power to go up hill at 15mph which is the programmed speed limit for the cadence PAS, just pedaling the...

But laundry is lightweight, whereas this solution seems to be for heavier cargo. I wonder if...

    To the Murray River dark sky reserve, my trip timing coincided with a waxing moon which was great for looking at the planets through binoculars, but not fainter objects. The ASSA ‘sky this month’ video on their YouTube channel was helpful. Loved seeing a meteor!

    Thank you. I‘ll be in Australia until next Friday. I enjoyed reading the ride report. The map on post #6268 looked familiar as I drove through Birdwood on the way East to the Murray River earlier this week. Great stargazing there on the other side of the Adelaide hills.
