Simplest secure approach would be to find dry bag with a daisy chain and two or three voile straps. This bag is designed to be strapped to the handlebars but will work fine on a rear rack: https://www.rei.com/product/186003/revelate-designs-saltyroll-handlebar-bag Voile straps, probably 20...

You didn't specify shrader or presta valves, though. This is probably the pump to purchase, though it is heavy and expensive: https://ride.lezyne.com/products/1-mp-mfdr-xl-v104 You can get it with either an analog or digital gauge on the filler hose. I know a lot of folks (and myself) swear...

No. Five Ten made rock climbing shoes and slippers starting in the mid 80's. You didn't walk very much in rock climbing shoes. For one thing, they were wicked uncomfortable and not at all designed to be walked in. For another, the soft sticky rubber they were famous for would quickly become...

I think a hard and fast rule these days should be to never buy a bike if you haven't been able to test ride that exact same model of bike or at least a bike from the same manufacturer first. The way I look at it, a bike is not so much ridden as worn. No sane person would spend $400, much less...

Actually the rot has been driven by a certain brand of journalism that became entrenched in the Untied States in the 1970s and that's pretty much how journalists work now. They structured the stories they told where there were always two opposing sides, and journalists behaved as dispassionate...

That's what people seem to want to believe, for sure. For myself I don't see really credible evidence of emergent behavior from current AIs. Certainly not on the same complexity levels that we'd expect from humans, or even bumblebees. Seriously, you can't model bee dances with current AI...

You really are surrendering to the hype machine there. You ought to keep in mind that the loudest advocates for this future are also trying to jack their share price and make a lot of money. Seriously, we are taking just the first baby steps here. And given the current directions baby is...

I think given all of the quality problems with e-bike batteries and the ugly history there that is a reasonable thing to tear down. I personally would like to see side-by-side teardowns between quality e-bikes and cheap Chinese deathtraps. In particular I'd like to see disassembly of the...

Unless you are just trying to make it complicated, it is hard to see how normal mountain biking expertise does not translate to riding an e-mtb well. Bluntly I am skeptical that any of the subtleties wouldn't be quickly picked up by a good mountain biker, probably in the first half hour of...

You just described nearly all E-MTBs. Just because he ain't on some Strava leaderboard doesn't mean he doesn't ride.

Local bike shop. I'd really strongly recommend getting referred to a health care professional (physical therapist, probably) who knows about bikes and cycling. They can give you the best advice. The fact that your chiropractor thinks it is okay for you to ride a bike is good, but to get into...

What you need to do is not ask questions on forums. Find a physical therapist who knows about bikes and can help you get set up with something that will work for you. If you live somewhere with a decent LBS I'd start there because chances are someone who works there will have seen a physical...

That hubless e-bike is even worse when you tear it down:

If you make it too difficult to distinguish between different types of e-bikes the response might well be to ban all e-bikes.

Those chains and that freewheel will probably last forever on that bike. Keep in mind that the Buffalo is designed to be ridden fairly short distances at slow speeds. You'd be cruising right along at 12km/hour on those.

A 525lb black bear in California is almost certainly garbage-fed and habituated to humans. And therefore very dangerous. Truly wild bears are nowhere near the most dangerous animal you might encounter.

I'd qualify that because it isn't exactly that simple. The hypothetical roadie who can hit 20+ mph on their bike on an MUP is riding a bike that has probably a third the weight, a rider who also weighs substantially less, and on the average is riding a bike with better brakes than the typical...

Just saying:

You would think that someone would have a chainsaw...

Except that didn't happen. https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/stelprdb5444731.pdf
