    I finally made it,

    @JGcycle, It worked as insulation. It could breath and it also worked like a space blanket, kicking back IR. It would be great stuffed in a lightweight ski jacket and that would keep the Doritos bags out of the landfill. I just washed out the bag and put it in the paper shrewder. There is a fine...

    I finally made it,

    I once had a hat with a liner. It was cold out, so I shredded reflective mylar and stuffed it. It worked like a space blanket. But more importantly the CIA couldn't read my thoughts because of the foil. The mylar came from a Doritos bag.

    Rad has new owner

    At one time I assembled farm equipment from China including stuff like hydraulic log splitters. They came with Built in America stickers. Put on the wheels, handlebar, saddle and pedals... adjust the brakes and shifting... and there you have it, Built in America!

    Lady cyclist killed in Davis involving juvenile on ebike...on the bike path.

    I put the laser in a frame-pump mount then shot it at a water bottle at my office. What is great is that if you accidently did shot it at your hand the hole would self-cauterize.

    I often see them at 30,000 feet and always wonder the destination. I saw one today at 60,000 ft headed toward Mexico City from maybe Anchorage today. Weird. Flights from NYC to Soul take a great arch. I always guess from where to where.

    It is generally mostly used mostly to point out stars and constellations by field educating science focused astronomers in the cloudless desert skies, like Death Valley. Although I don't use it, there is always an exception to prove a rule. I once cauterized a cut on my leg. I have heard that it...

    Is Vado Smoking Addictive?

    In 2019 I was selling Specialized and many other bikes doing inside and online sales support for a large bike store chain with 13 stores. That was the year the Specialized Creo came out. I made this bike and called it Creo Eater. And made little stories an a Dicken's accent about it eating...

    Here is another thing about proving the loop of wire to cut the speed limiter. The warranty says that any modification voids the warranty and any liability. It is an insidious way to get off the hook.

    Lady cyclist killed in Davis involving juvenile on ebike...on the bike path.

    I have a green laser the size of a magic marker that will light a match at 50 yards but have never used it. I almost wonder what would happen if it were pointed at a 2400 Wh Surron battery. :rolleyes: That is wild that the e-moto was pulled over in 2024 and the dad had to take a safety class...

    I have a glutton-knee in my hollow leg. I am starting to get excited. I was the chief instigator for a gathering on the 15th. About 40 people, with lots of tots, will have a picnic in the wildflowers, sipping wine, flying kites, and do a kid egg hunt. It is an annual thing I started with 4...

    My first Mid Drive

    Just interesting. Nice saddle. When I tried ordering parts with a customer it would just show photos of dogs.

    That reminds me of a joke where a guy put a towel over himself to hide wood. A girl asked him what was under there and he said my bird and he fell asleep on the beach. The bald one eyed bird was so ugly she smashed its nest and eggs then set it on fire.

    Lady cyclist killed in Davis involving juvenile on ebike...on the bike path.

    Okay, I will answer your question. We like our bikes and want to keep them. We want to see the upside of eBikes emphasized and recognized. We do not want our bikes being associated with motorcycles that are killing people and are being called bicycles because they are electrically powered...

    Lady cyclist killed in Davis involving juvenile on ebike...on the bike path.

    Initially the surgical nurse who died is a sympathetic character. But we just do not know, she could have been on the left side of the path with earbuds and scrolling a podcast while speeding. If she hit a ballard it would have the same result. In Marin Co. not allowing eMotos at schools has...

    I was installing some brakes today when the new and unusual pads took a direct hit of mineral oil. I washed them off with a bunch of Dawn water. Then I soaked them in some gin. Then I took them outside and hit them with automotive brake cleaner then I lit them on fire. Sanded them and lit them...

    They can attack a full sized mountain goat, tossing it off a clif. We have a lot of grain elevators that attract hundreds of pigeons. That has attracted a breeding pair of peregrine falcons. It is amazing to see the burst of feathers.
