An excellent analysis of modern journalism 🤣

Don't do it. Learn from my experience: https://forums.electricbikereview.com/threads/my-battery-died-of-heatstroke.49929/page-4#post-652849

What I see is a lot of people NOT getting any actual exercise. I mean, sure their muscles get little micro isometric exercise from maintaining balance, but really, people need more exercise not less.

Ever notice how of every 5 roadworkers, only 2 are allowed to work at any given moment? The others are required to be drinking coffee and standing around waiting for the 2nd Coming.

What cheese is made backwards? . . . . . . . . . . . ...Edam! 😃

I have sleep headphones that I listen to a bit of audiobook on. The headphones put the voice inside the middle of my brain, so it pushes out my own thoughts. It is thinking thinking thinking that keeps me awake. I put on a 30 min timer so the audiobook just tails off. By then I'm asleep. You...

Wow. That guy has a death wish. Or a hankering to end up in a wheelchair. A kid broke his neck zooming down a rogue trail in our local park. 17, in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. 😢 Worth the "thrill"? I don't think so.

Woman goes into labor, starts shouting, “Couldn’t! Wouldn’t! Shouldn’t! Can’t!” Doctor replies, “She’s having contractions.”

Well, folks, here is an update, finally, on the saga of the fried BH battery. As I mentioned, I took over my BH bike (sans dead battery) to the French Pyrénées in March. Took it to the closest BH dealer, in Laroque-d'Olmes. We had a quandary, because the battery had to be ordered, and if there...

What would be the effect of filling your tires with water actually? They'd be heavier, obviously. Would they have greater centrifugal force? How would it effect balance, etc. Just curious. I suppose one could avoid flats by filling tires with foam insulation ("Great Stuff"). It would be light...

This one is not a cut and paste job: Bear and skier I may have posted it before sometime. The skier (an instructor) is remarkably calm, cool and collected.

Did you know that the French expression for "Rollercoaster" is "montagne russe" (lit, "Russian mountain"). Food for thought...🤭🫣

If you like audio books, I am listening to Lauren Grodstein's We Must Not Think of Ourselves, about life in the Warsaw ghetto during the Nazi occupation of Poland. Excellent book, superbly read/performed.

Cyclists run into (perhaps "come across" would sound less dramatic) King Charles on their ride!

Minor detail you left out! 🤨

Did you capture it? I hope you did! And reported it to whatever Fish and Wildlife or Ag Dept that needs to monitor invasive there in Canada...

There used to be a shop (neigh, a stall 😁) in the Pike Place Market in Seattle back in the 70s that sold horsemeat. I bought it once or twice. Perfectly fine meat. Why one sentient being should be somehow more immoral to eat than another is quite subjective. Cows OK, but horses not?

I have never had much of a worry about range, because my knee dictates my range. I have found that 26 miles (a "marathon"), or an hour out, an hour back, is a good distance. I don't get wiped out, but after I stop riding, I feel that indeed, I have gotten a fair bit of exercise. My BH had a 605...

Oops! That's where I thought I had posted it! No wonder I couldn't find it later. OFF-topic is where I meant it to be. 👍
