    What did you buy for your new bike this weekend (Black Friday...)

    I also picked up the QuadLock for my new Pixel 5, and my wireless charging still works with the case. But yes, it is a thicker case then I am used to. The stem mount and out front mount that I picked up for my bikes work great..

    Swapping straight bar for drop bars

    Thinking about looking into swapping my straight bar to a drop bar on my Yamaha Cross Core. Thought I would be more comfortable on a straight bar then a drop bar when I first purchased the bike, but finding that not to be the case on long rides. I did add ergonomic grips with horns, but still...

And I have done a 50 mile ride on the new ebike without the padded shorts. I also picked up a pair of of inexpensive wrap around sunglasses to protect my...

    Serial 1 Announcement Discussion

    If I didn't just recently pick up my Yamaha Cross Core, I would have probably ordered the HD. I think it is a great looking bike for the money. Being new to the world of ebikes, I am amazed at the amount of companies to choose from when buying a bike. Makes it easy to get buyers remorse when...

    Just ordered the QuadLock for my Pixel 5. They are running 30% off now for Black Friday. This ebike hobby is starting to get expensive...But actually a hobby that I really enjoy, so worth every penny.

    Cross Core + RedShift Stem

    I added the Kinext seat post and Redshift ShockStop to my Cross Core and definitely made a difference. And you are right, reading these forums can get very expensive, too many good ideas on here to make out ebikes even better... Last night I added the Velo grips to my bike..

    Ebike vs analog

    Yamaha was one of the first companies producing ebikes. I believe it was 1993 . They have had a long time to refine their bikes.

    Ebike vs analog

    Picked up my new Yamaha Ebike 2 weeks ago and have about 175 miles on it. Purchased a Specialized Allez back in May and got into riding for exercise and put about 1500 miles since I got it. Even though I do like the new ebike, I took my analog bike out yesterday for a short 30 mile ride and...
