    Almost twenty miles this morning in heat and humidity. i don't fare so well anymore in these conditions and use Turbo more than I like when the HR climbs past 150. Even so enjoyed the ride...met a young woman on the road (probably 4 years younger than me) riding a beautiful Cannondale...she...

    Encinitas City Council declares emergency for e-bikes, bicycles

    I don’t have crowded paths to worry about on my relatively empty roads. I do carry a deluxe first aid kit because of the idiots who like to gun it past me on blind curves. Recently this happened and a teenager driving a Kia on the other side of the road put himself in a ditch avoiding the...

    Getting my first road ebike - Specialized vs Canyon

    I saw Trek dropped its price on Allant 9.9, and others too. This window is a good time to buy unless you’re waiting on something specific

    Some people in these parts grow more than corn, soybean, and cows. A nice cool ride this morning after many days of rain (which we needed). Below the newly smoothed road to Rockville

    “Starting this Sunday I'm totally devoted to a big training we are doing to our key customer. You may not hear me for a week! See you later” In other words RAB finally wore you out

    Electric Car thread

    ^ Either that or they have more options As for me I see EVs all over the place…I can’t hear them coming up behind me when I’m riding my ebike. I shake my fist as they pass…but they refuse to go away…just like reality

    I could do that mileage if I didn’t need the point of a gun to get up at 5am. I’m satisfied to leave in the morning at ten for a sedate 20miles…and dream of poor Stefan

    An old friend from the other side of town finally came by to try out his ebike on my backroads. He (another Joe) has put about 300 miles on his BeCool in about nine months which reflects his primarily interest which is riding his old fishing spots along the Outer Banks. We had a fine 14 mile...

    Elongated platform pedals

    I’ve got Catalyst on my Trek Allant, but only because the store manager recommended them even though they’re not in stores. I had a few problems with clipless (age?) so thought I’d move on to flat pedals. I like them though I have nothing to compare them to. A stable platform for my big feet (13)

    I had my best ride since getting a cast off my hand…unfortunately I broke something else at the ride’s conclusion. I glided into my barn, dismounted, and so did my fabled, indestructible Brooks saddle. A bit of hardware clattered to the floor. Yet an important piece was nowhere to be found...

    Lithium Battery charging.

    Thanks for the idea on discharge PedalUma. I have read recently somewhere, and persuasively, that the payback numbers on an EV is much lower. For example: a commercial user of e-vans said that the savings on fuel and maintenance is so stark that after five years of savings its like getting a...

    Lithium Battery charging.

    Two questions: I recently was forced off my ebike by injury…so it sat for 6 weeks with 95% charge. When something unexpected happens how do you discharge the battery to a safer level? I’m soon to hit the road for a trip…how helpful/paranoid are the innkeepers now about allowing the bike inside?

    I went a little further today (9m) taxing the hand, but not too much…my rotator above is actually complaining more. Look closely in the picture for Rab…he got his continents mixed up
