    Wow. That’s awesome!

    Rad Power Bikes may close soon

    Ah, I see. Thanks, Ray. They just added that portion of the debt to the offer (seems kind of weird to me) to calculate what the winning bidder is actually going to pay.

    Bafang 72v 3000w Rear-hub motor

    If you have a link to this anywhere, let me know, Ken. Just curious, really. And, of course, I have seen nothing and know nothing about this company.

    Rad Power Bikes may close soon

    Thanks for the pointer to the article, @harryS . Any idea what this means?: "When accounting for Rad Power’s liabilities, the total value of the bid is $14.9 million."

    Photochromic sunglasses - yes or no?

    I use my shooting glasses RE (Randolph Engineering) Ranger XLW glasses when riding. The lenses are all non-polarized, but they are interchangeable and I’ve got everything from clear lenses to very dark. The good news is that for shooting, just like riding, the lenses go above the eyebrow and I...

    tandem wheel battle.

    I hope the Rolf is tough enough for your use, @fooferdoggie . Sounds like @stompandgo approves of the company, and he works at a bike shop! Good luck. p.s./ any idea why your usage on a tandem is so hard on the wheel(s)? I’m just curious. I hadn’t heard of that before (not that I know much...

    Bafang 72v 3000w Rear-hub motor

    Hi Run! Aventon has the Aventure model, which is a fatty that’s probably a better comparison than the Ramblas. The Aventure M is fairly new and has their A100 mid-drive as well as their most recent electronics to match. Very appealing bike, particularly at 73lbs. If I were shopping...

    Bafang 72v 3000w Rear-hub motor

    Specs on the Atlas say it’s a Bafang G510 motor (mid-drive), which seems to be 52V, not 72V. Is that the bike you’re talking about? I’m not seeing the 3kW rear drive hub version??

    getting a regular bike after my battery fails?

    foofer, I hope you take some pix and post them as you do the build. I’d really like to live vicariously through you on that. :)

    The Law Of Unintended Consequences

    Been thinking about those barriers. I think they’d be pretty effective for slowing down the bike traffic between the two sets. And, yeah, people obviously divert around the whole section, as you’ve shown and pointed out. I’m not sure the diversion is “as intended,” but I’m thinking about the...

    Talk me out, or in, of 2026 Homage 5.

    I ride similarly to the way you do. You might want to look into a fat-tire bike. Look at the Aventon selection, which I think is available in Canada. The Aventure M is interesting to me because it has a lot of cool tech at a very reasonable price. Anyway, good luck in the hunt.

    Gosh that’s a pretty suspension bridge. Looks pretty new, Rab. Awesome ride (dare I say as usual?). 👍 edit: I see that’s called a cable-stayed bridge, not a suspension bridge. We have a similar one in Boston (Zakim bridge), but I think shorter than this Queensferry Crossing. Lovely.

    Rad Power Bikes may close soon

    I think there are two things that fly in the face of this pessimistic conclusion: #1: First of all, there is the question of how they are managing their manufacturing. These dying/dead players racked up unsustainable debt by over-producing and stocking bikes that were simultaneously selling...

    Rad Power Bikes may close soon

    Y’know, I might be a little out-of-date with respect to the corporate jargon, but we all know that just in time (JIT) manufacturing was an epic fail during Corona (COVID). What I think I’m seeing here is a total swing (by RAD) the other way, which might’ve looked correct in 2021-2022, but was...

    I’m not sure how bankruptcy works, but that’s a hell of a hole to dig out of.
