    Additional Battery For Gazelle Ultimate C380+

    Do I need to buy the battery cover from Gazelle, I assume. I am also assuming that the battery cannot be used without the battery cover. Does anybody happen to have a part number? It looks like the battery is a BBP285.

    The Revv 1 Electric Bike is Super Fun, Not Super Practical

    Flashing Headlamp On E-Bike During Daytime Rides

    I will often run a steady burn headlamp, that is mounted on my helmet, when I ride in the daytime. I have been giving some thought to moving up to a headlamp that flashes. Is anybody here using a flashing headlamp in the daytime? Does it help you get noticed more than a steady burn headlamp?

    So what's your other hobbies or interests?

    While that may be true for you, that is not true for everybody, at least not for me. I retired the first time at age 50 with 29 years of service with a defined-benefit pension. I knew I wasn't ready for the rocking chair, yet, so I did another 6 years of service in a different organization...

    A really good handle bar cell phone mount?

    I always thought that the cell phone mount was pretty much for navigation and entertainment, but I suppose the "Ride" apps are popular.

    Winter Is Coming - Biking in Cold Weather

    I rode about 10 miles yesterday. I was careful to find mainly snow free areas on the road and multi-use paths. The part of me that got cold was right above my eyes! I wore a balaclava and a helmet, as well as sun glasses, but the area above my eyes did get cold, so I very well may wear goggles...

    Lights Save Lives

    Your post prompted me to review the Minnesota Statutes Chapter 169, since I live in Minnesota. It looks to me as if M.S. 169.222 OPERATION OF BICYCLE specifically does permit a white flashing signal. MS 199.222 Subd. Subd. 6 (c) A bicycle may be equipped with a front lamp that emits a white...
