    It's cataract surgery time

    I have had them removed from both eyes. They did give me a choice of one eye near and one far (my terminology). If shooting a firearm or driving a commercial vehicle is a concern, choose carefully. https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/sites/fmcsa.dot.gov/files/docs/MEP-Recommendations-Vision-v2-prot.pdf

    Any comments on these battery-powered tire pumps?

    https://www.milwaukeetool.com/Products/2475-20 The reason I bought this one is because my wife and I were already invested in the Milwaukee M12 eco-system. Buying a device that uses batteries we already owned was an easy decision.

    Winter Biking Advice From A Minnesotan

    It is time to review this. I am also in Minnesota and hope to extend the season a bit with a fat tire e-bike.

    Keeping feet dry in the rain

    Last night was my first fat tire e-bike ride since the first snow this fall in Minnesota. It wasn't particularly cold, maybe 34 degrees. While my feet didn't get cold, I can see that they will as the temperatures continue to drop as winter approaches. I did buy my wife electric heated socks last...

    "Best advice for new ebike riders" from us

    I think one thing to remember with new e-bike riders is to not overwhelm them with too much information right away. That is why I kept my advice pretty simple. As they gain more experience, then may be the right time for more advice, when they are ready for it.

    Biking to Work Isn’t Gaining Any Ground in the US

    I have never biked to work. My e-bike is for recreation. I am less than 14 miles from my work and it is almost straight north of me. I was only four miles from work at my previous job. I never rode it to work then, either, but I always thought about it...

    Show us pictures of where you ride your ebikes!

    I rode the Mississippi River Trail yesterday. I started in Rosemount MN and rode to Highway 61 in Hastings MN. I even had the opportunity to see part of the bison herd in the Spring Lake (Dakota County ) Park. Earlier this year, when the bison calves were younger, they have a distinctive red...

    E-Bikes On Legal, Paved Trails

    On another forum, someone mentioned that there is an area near them where e-bikes are legal, but generally responded to with frowns, presumably by local residents. I realize that the answer to this will vary from place to place, but is there any sort of consensus on here where people prefer to...

    Keeping feet dry in the rain

    How well are your Frogg Toggs holding up for you? My brother-in-law bought a pair and they didn't last. (One good cough, belch, sneeze or fart and they are done for.)

    Do you know your hand signals?

    This is out of New Hampshire and for ATVs and snowmobiles. Could this come to e-bikes, too?

    Is Anybody On Here Using A Garmin Bicycle GPS?

    As posted above, is anybody here using a Garmin bicycle GPS? If I were to get one, I would want one with touchscreen and multi-band GNSS. Of those four that have that, the Garmin Edge 840 is the least expensive. However, when I look at the details of the Garmin Edges, they come preloaded with...

    What Are My Choices For A Fat Tire E-Bike?

    I removed the "belt-driven" part. My wife and I were at the Minnesota State Fair today. I kept my eyes open for e-bikes and the two brands I ran across today are Denago and Rambo. The Denago I saw stated it was a Hunting 1 model. Further, it stated it is a new mid-drive mountain bike designed...
