Actually, the people from Canoe magazine years ago published an article where their crew specifically paddled one of these creeks where private fishing clubs thought they owned the river.After the boaters were harassed from the shore the state police were waiting for them at the take out...

I've paddled creeks where fishing clubs who think they own the river have strung wire across the river at neck level. You can argue with them until you are blue in the face that they don't own the river and a navigable river may be used by anyone but they think it's theirs.

Not to worry, the US gov't is going to send in the troops after those food courier gangs

Face it, a lot of people hate seeing others having a good time

My bike has the bafang ultra motor. I couldn't be happier with it. 1,000 watts of power and a throttle that works with or without pedaling. My 1st ebike had a 250 watt Yamaha mid drive and from the day I bought it, I wished it had more power. I no longer wish for more power with the bafang...

I had a huge moth enter my helmet while night riding on the highway on my motorcycle. I about crashed as the powder from its wings flapping around nearly blinded me. I was weaving all over the place and wouldn't you know, blue lights came on behind me. I got the bike to the shoulder of the...

Pics will cost you 5 bucks per shot :)

My wife was on the Swedish bikini team back in 73'

There's one place on my daily ride where ride against traffic. It's a 100 yard long stretch of a secondary road and there are two lanes of traffic coming the opposite way. The shoulder on this side of the road is wider than the other side and the other side only has one lane so IMO it's safer...

I guess the guy who wants to flatten my tires thinks he should have control over who rides past his house on a public road

Sadly, many people don't like seeing others having a good time. I had one guy who's house I ride past frequently tell me "it'd be a shame if something poked a hole in one of those tires"

I'll just keep the Haibike. I don't think I could sell it for much and if the Rize is broken for whatever reason, I still have a bike to ride

My 1st ebike was a Haibike trekking 6.0 I believe. It's a very high quality bike but suffers from the meager 250 watt Yamaha motor. I then bought a Rize bikes RX with the bafang ultra motor and finally I have the power needed to effortlessly tackle hills. That said, the quality doesn't match the...

Kids on bikes are awesome. Old people on bikes are awesome and so are young people. In general it's a very friendly crowd but the negative encounters I've had with hard core dino bike roadies has caused me to become jaded. I no longer initiate a wave to them as most times it's not reciprocated...

I've actually had dino bike riders spit at the ground when they pass and see I'm on an ebike. Of course it takes all kinds and some will be very friendly but don't count on it

It's great seeing a wider acceptance of ebikes anywhere.

Making gravy while riding is not a good past time

I have learned not to wave at guys on dino bikes dressed in their kit. They despise us.. Not all of them but it's a pretty fair generalization.

I now have 2,300mi. on the motor and it's never been opened up. It's just as quiet now as it was on day one. I figured I'd wait until it got a little noisy before attempting maintenance but that hasn't happened. Am I wearing out my gears by not re-greasing? Worst case scenario I'll wait until...

This is bad to admit but I also have a bafang ultra motor and haven't opened it up yet. The bike now has 2,300mi. on it but it's as quiet as it was on day one. Just because it's quiet doesn't mean all is o.k. but I've just been too lazy to take it apart.
