    I think I understand New York's ebike fire problem a little better now.

    Down the road this morning. It is comforting to see that fire departments saw this coming and have a plan. A few more of these and folks are gonna start picking on the cars (not that they aren't already)

    Considering a Specialized, got a few questions

    I've had a few experiences with Trek's customer service lately. I'd rate their corporate service at a 2/10. They get one point for answering the phone, but the rep I spoke with was abrasive and defensive. And he did not do anything for me. The local Trek store here was better. They're...

    Road weenie karma

    I left them stranded? No, they left themselves stranded by not being prepared. I don't exist to rescue road weenies. And I wasn't blocking the pump. It's accessible from both sides. I can't help it that folks don't communicate.
