    So I rode from my house on a bright sunny but blustery day and headed to Hayview. Then I had a tire blistering decent into Tinpan Alley where I made a westerly turn on to Soybean Way where I had a long uphill climb in to Pokeville. From there I had a lovely view of Winter Wheat mountain as I...

    @Stefan Mikes i don’t think your bike will fit in the washer. I just use a damp cloth on mine.

    Stefan, in the “accident“ picture it looks you are trying to shake water out of you ear and the other person is tightening his spokes.😀 We have laundromats in the US but I hated going to them.

    I rode 17 miles this morning, into town to look at a construction project. It’s apparently going to be a storage/staging area for our nearby electric company. They are building some new power lines in the area. Big tracked Case tractors pulling scrapper pans. I assume they are building a...

    I rode 13 miles today, I must have been lazy, I forgot to take a picture and my average speed was down a little bit. I included a picture from our recent trip to Switzerland, we are on the top of Jungfraugh. (sp?).

    I rode 19 miles today. Nice sunny but cool and a little breezy. A large Ford tractor caught my eye and another picture when I stopped to take a break, a nice old farm house in the background.

    How would you rate your seat for comfort?

    Stock seat on a a Trek Verve +3. I’m probably good for two hours tops. The more I ride though the longer I can go. If I ride at least 3 times a week I toughen up some.

    Why does EBR hate recumbent bikes?

    I hate them because they look dumb, the people that ride them are stupid and I think they should be outlawed. Is that the answer you were looking for? I don’t really believe that but you seem to be taking a confrontational approach to the subject. Nothing wrong with them at all, I would...

    I rode 17 miles today, nice sunny day but pretty windy. A picture as I’m starting a down wind leg. Faster than 15 miles an hour with wind behind me and the bike on eco but then the last leg into the head wind. The house in the background of my picture is an Amish home.

    I rode 19 miles today. There‘s not much to look at these days, the crops are mostly out of the fields, cloudy and windy.

    I rode 14 miles today, still getting over a bad cold but good enough to ride for the first time in a couple of weeks. I rode through Tennessee Illinois today, a very small town and my wife grew up just a few miles from it. This picture is in front of the cafe there, my wife worked here about...

    It’s been unusually warm here, temps in the high seventies and low eighties, light winds but I’ve been fighting a cold for a few days. I’m mostly over it but still have a cough keeping me from riding. I hope to get back out next week.

    My Tire's Are Rotting !!??@$

    On car and truck tires the date is molded in but you have to know how to read it. It sounds like the 2024 isn’t the date they were made.

    My Tire's Are Rotting !!??@$

    Is the date code on the sidewall in your first group of pictures 2024? If so they aren’t old.

    Problem with mid-drive motor?

    I had a similar click in mine. They put new pedals on and a new front chain ring. That fixed it and I’m not sure but I think the chain ring was the problem

    I did 14 miles today, the roads near our house as usual. The harvest is still going strong but it rained just a little last night so the soybeans were a little too wet.
