    Importing from North America Has Become Tough

    We stay because we don't wanna become a Russian province for another 123 years or a Russian puppet state for yet 44 years. Besides, I encourage you to visit Poland, try the Warsaw's public transport to realise the UK might be surpassed by Poland in the coming years :) You don't host the company...

    Importing from North America Has Become Tough

    From what I heard, Poland has the strongest Army in the EU :)

    Importing from North America Has Become Tough

    I just honestly said what I thought. Please understand: any European country that would leave the EU becomes an easy prey for Russia.

    Importing from North America Has Become Tough

    You wish. To put it straight: it is not in Poland's interest to go together with the country ruled by a mad king. Especially when we have a mad dictator in the East and active war behind our border. It was not the EU who started the trade war.

    Specialized Turbo Vado SL: An Incredible E-Bike (User Club)

    If you buy a proper set of RE, it includes the battery, the cage and a rubber band. No need to buy a separate cage. However, if you already own a bare RE, you should use the Specialized Zee II LEFT cage. I doubt it is a carbon one. (I doubt a carbon part would cost just $10). A point to take...

    Importing from North America Has Become Tough

    Just to clarify one point. It is not I bought the last Mirrycle in Poland. I bought the last Mirrycle available at Amazon EU!

    Dima, I've checked the facts :) Both Zaslawskaye and Zegrzyński reservoirs are of about the same size! (31 sq km). How odd.

    A Fire Warning For An E-Bike Battery Was Issued. It Was Too Late For A St. Paul Couple.

    Isn't it the fact the Chinese use EV batteries of safer chemistry?

    Importing from North America Has Become Tough

    One of the reasons is most courier companies stopped their activities on small parcels between the U.S. and the EU.

    Importing from North America Has Become Tough

    Before the last U.S. administration came, I had no issue with importing goods from the States and never paid any tariff on anything.

    Us? Thank you for your kind offer but I would politely decline it. Probably too long waiting.

    We have a similar reservoir near Warsaw (1963). Only yours seems to be bigger :)

    What is this water body, Dima? Ah, Zaslawskaye Lake :)

    Importing from North America Has Become Tough

    My two Mirrycle rear view mirrors (on separate e-bikes) need replacement. Both were beaten on crashes. It was never the glass that was shattered. It were the holder parts that became bent. I need to adjust the mirror position with my hand but bent is bent and will never be good again. It was so...

    It also pertains to four Walmart e-bikes sold at the price of junk :)

    Thank you! I'm rather glad I could get out on a longer ride and complete it "On The Wheels" :) "The Day Without An Adventure Is A Day Lost" as my gf @Brix says on such days :)

    Snake Bitten (Not The Cycling Term!) After a month of my illness and recovery, I felt good on Sunday morning, and decided to get a ride to see my friend Tommy. Initially, all was good. Here's a picture from a privately owned Tram Cemetery slightly outside Warsaw city limits. (That was the...

    Chainrings

    Stomp: Chris, Creo SL 1 was designed as a road e-bike but it had to be 1x for obvious reasons. (Creo 2 is a gravel e-bike). I tested a Creo SL (road) in Autumn 2022. I didn't look a roadie because it was freaking cold :) Any roadie riding a pedal bike was overtaking me :) It is when you ride a...

    Chainrings

    You must accept it Jeremy. A 46T chainring on a 1x road bike is not the biggest. Now, you might ask @mschwett what he uses in hilly SF for his road bikes :) (I hope Mark is still in?!)
