    E-Bikes On Legal, Paved Trails

    Patricia, I have a friend in Cary, they have a very extensive paved trail system with Raleigh. Hundreds of miles, with tunnels or bridges over many (but not all) major highways. And there is the American Tobacco Trail that goes south from Durham for a long way. It would be worth the drive...

    Non-hitch bike rack for two 35lb ebikes

    Don't believe it. On the odyssey i had to take loose the last hanger so the pipe could move 1” out of the way, but that was all. I installed the odyssey hitch by myself, lying on the driveway under the car. I’m 72. They have very good videos on the webpage, and there are usually youtube...

    American Airlines - Only "non-motorized"

    A lot of places equate “motorized” with gas engines. If you have a conversation with them, they usually allow ebikes with reasonable restrictions.

    Choosing a bike. Help!

    I’m biased of course, but look at the Ride1Up cafe cruiser. It has name brand parts, works well on pavement and gravel/dirt trails. Upright posture, high weight capacity, comes with a very solid welded-on rear rack. 3” tires. Available in step-over and girlie style, which i have cuz of age &...

    Is this the craziest bike race crash?

    I like watching the indoor races, i think they are called omnium. One of the race formats is 20+ riders, no brakes, no gears … last one to cross the finish line each lap is eliminated.

    Modify a yakima rack

    I have a yakima on-ramp for my 2 ride1up cafe cruisers. Overall it’s a sturdy rack, but in spite of the claim that it fits tires up to 3.25” … it doesn’t. And yakima doesn’t care. I left a poor review, and there are several others all complaining about the tire fit, but yakima has not posted...

    Always be well lighted and safe like this guy.

    My guess is that he got hit by a car, or had a friend get hit.

    OK to feather my thumb throttle?

    I don’t understand the contempt and derision toward throttles. I use mine to get started from a stop, cuz i’m a lot older than when i rode my Schwinn with coaster brakes “back in the day”. One foot on a pedal, butt touching the seat, other foot on the ground for balance. Give it partial...

    California Assembly member proposes driver's license for e-bikes

    How would it be enforced? Police already have their hands full with bigger crimes, and their popularity is low. Is Boerner expecting that police will stop every kid on a bike and ask for their license? What happens if the kid doesn’t have a license? Who gets the ticket? Will they care...

    Thats good news. I have a cafe cruiser, no problems yet, but it’s good to know there is a shop available.

    Thoughts on Beach Riding?

    You can buy a new bike, or maintenance parts. You can’t buy memories.

    Looking for input/advice on first e-bike

    We bought two Ride1Up cafe cruisers this spring, ride every weekend. Very happy with them, no problems. 3” tires which are considerably larger than most but not nearly fat tires. That model comes with fenders, lights, heavy duty rear rack. Suits our style perfectly. YMMV.
