    Winter Sucks

    In six weeks at 10:46 AM eastern daylight time the Spring equinox occurs. At that moment, time and longitude, night and day are in balance between the Northern and Southern hemispheres. And Winter ends in the north. Persephone says, 'Hold On, I'm Coming'.

    A indiginus American was captured and imprisoned by ICE because he didn't look American. They wanted to deport him.

    I am down to just three. At this time in '24 I had 16 bikes. I make all of my own electric bikes because I am particular about the feel I want so I need to spec and program, while retaining the right to repair. So for now it's just a Chisel, a V7 Public, and a Creme Uno. Edit correction: This...

    Coffee and E-biking, my two favorite combined things to do

    My town has one brewery per 10,000 people. And about 1 taproom per 1,000. Beer tourists come here.

    Coffee and E-biking, my two favorite combined things to do

    I work across the street from the largest coffee roaster in NorCal. They roast for all the biggies but are not allowed to say who. For years it smelled great but neighbors complained so they installed a multi-million dollar scrubber system that is almost the size of two semi-trucks. The same...

    That said, I most often hop on a simple town bike with a $24 11-34 freewheel if I am headed to a cafe or the post office.

    Coffee and E-biking, my two favorite combined things to do

    I didn't know what was wrong with me but it was bad. I had developed gluten intolerance. So no more pastries for me and my favorite French place is closing on the 6th after 27 years. The last one has brie melted into the bacon and has guaq. I ate there for free for one year.

    I made a long cargo bike electric last Saturday. It just has a Tourney derailleur, no clutch. Over bumps the chain rattles against the stay and it bugs him. So I made him this kit out of automotive heater hose to place at the contact point. He had not written a review so I called him today...

    Coffee and E-biking, my two favorite combined things to do

    That bike had and eight-speed internal gear hub, a half-link chain, 16-T sprocket and a 50-T chainring. It looks like it has a thermos for refills.

    White Industries is a couple of blocks away. Very nice stuff but, yes, pricy. It is like jewelry. That refined a polished. It is close to $400 for a hub.

    Coffee and E-biking, my two favorite combined things to do

    Here is a chrome bike I made electric in 2019. It was called Creo Eater and it had a coffee cup holder so I could sip while passing Lycra dudes on Specialized Creos. The mid-drive is silver.

    The guy tightened the cones all the way so they were nice and secure. It is like the lady who tightened all the screws in her derailleur, including the limits and B. I am working on another POS now called a Ridstar. It has a fried controller. The lady is giving me a very nice tip because last...

    That was a $600 bike. It had many problems including a front wheel that would not rotate. It only hit half the gears. The levers went flat to the grips. I did not allow the battery indoors. When he reported the front wheel problem they sent him a second bike. 2 X POS=____? Now back to tools.

    RAD Power Bikes Going Bust

    Wolves will pull a tuft of fur and very slowly go deeper and deeper into cold water. The fleas don't like cold water so they migrate up. The last part to go under is the nose and the tuft of fur filled with fleas is let go. The creditors and obligations are gone.

    More ebike misinformation

    A girl named Amelia Safford was a passenger without a helmet on a motorcycle in Marin County, California. She suffered brain damage in the resulting crash. Because it was an unlocked (no speed limit) Sur Ron that happens to be an electric motorcycle, the media called it an eBike. It does not...
