The fig leaf will be as big as my hand in two weeks. We flew kites today in the wildflowers and had a picnic. The book I am reading now in the sun is a spy thriller about Neanderthals. @pem

I can hold seemingly contradictory thoughts at the sametime. One mom argued, 'At least they are not on TicToc or playing video games.' 'My son can take himself to baseball practice and likes to be active outside with friends.' Her son has a MacFox, a cheap 500W throttle moped. I can see her...

Some of them such as Aventon top out at 20 with the throttle and 28 by pedal. But that is still not legal. If it has a hand throttle attached that is class 2 with a top speed of 20. If you ever want to go over 20 remove the throttle from the bike.

Most Class 3 pedal only bikes plateau at about 22-24 mph. You must be a strong rider to achieve 28 and able to provide 85% of the power input with your feet. The high-end top speed is not sustainable for more that a minute for all but the very most fit. Experienced riders are most likely going...

A woman today, Gretchen, wanted me to work on her son's bicycle "It is really heavy and does not have pedals with a battery the size of a plumber's tool box and the seat is two-feet-long but not very high. The name is something like an Zxnomg Dungchin Lucky 8." And the company is out of...

The falling off a ladder thing is just meant as a visualization. It is the kind of thing they would show in an eBike safety training class. Everywhere I need to go is within 2 or 3 miles or at 15mph 10 to 15 minutes. Because I can take bike paths without traffic lights I get where I am going in...

From what ladder height would you be okay with falling onto pavement? To hit at 15mph would be like falling from 7.5 feet or about the height of a standard celling. To hit at 20mph would be like falling from 13.5 feet up. To hit at 25mph would be like falling from 21 feet up with a 1:3 chance...

Hammy Hagar! 😍 He would just show up unannounced at a little dive bar in Mill Valley sometimes and play with people like Grace Slick and Carlos Santana, and folks from Journey. That was before mobile phones so no one knew but those already in attendance.

Sammy had a bike shop in Sausalito by the GG Bridge.

I ride at about 12-15 most of the time, but can go over 20 if needed. Just like a car could go over 55.

It is funny, I am in the middle. I like motors that can be installed on any bike and are not proprietary and are user programmable with the right to repair, but I also agree that ghost pedaled Bafangs with throttles are dumb junk.

It's NY. An analog bike can go over 20.

At 91 something else could have taken him out. It is actuarial table odds. He lived for three months after the blind surprise collision. Sometimes riding on the street is dangerous, particularly on bin day. My aunt was in her 80's with Parkinson's, using her walker in a park when she collided...

My question is, is it really warm with the space blanket effect?

When the t-shirt is kind of worn, it is a little easier to discern the nipples to twist them with the correct torque spec.

You can always take a Doritos bag, turn it inside out, roll in the edges to fit, and put it on your head. You may want a two-point ventilation port poke at the top for some airflow. It will fit under a bike helmet. You will keep both your wigwam in Winter cold, and thoughts intact. Topea, or t-pee.

@PCeBiker, Knows that I use pastel oil crayons. With each color change I can see the progress. Then it cleans off with soapy water and rubbing alcohol. When a mechanic with great training and experience heard that I true tires he laughed at me. Why is it not okay for a rim to be 3mm off true...

It takes another one to position it correctly on the bike or everything else will be off.

I do not have an appointment or job for another hour, so I am reading in the sun with sun on my toes and no shirt. When a crow comes by I toss it a doggie treat.
