Batman villains?

Good point. A lot can depend on where you ride and how far you get from help. Not sure how that relates to the tube/tubeless question though. TT

I mentioned that tube/tubeless is open for debate and I suppose it depends on your comfort level, but a) with sealant in your tubes you're unlikely to have flat, b) if you do, well, let me say, when I have a flat that doesn't self-seal I don't think it's too involved to fix it. A lot of people...

If your rims aren't tubeless-ready it would be impossible/way too expensive to be worth going tubeless barring some sort of very special need. Even if the rims are tubeless ready, there is little-to-no reason to toss the tires you have now. It's subject to debate, but I've never been convinced...

I watched it. I missed that he cut off the crank. That's really a hoot! There was a time when I would have been more interested in something like this, not that I would have done it Black and Decker, parent of DeWalt, used to make cheap (corded) drills and other tools. Cheap was their...

That may be what the plaintiffs want the court to believe, but we don't know, do we? TT

Great quote. You made me look though: Ralph Waldo Emerson once wrote, “A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds…”

Yawn. It depends on exactly what you mean, but anyone who wants that information can get it from any one of dozens of available apps. Throttle or not. The rest of us DON'T CARE! TT

Where is the data stored?

As you say, prove it. How could you possibly know that? For me, not using Strava is a matter of not wanting all of my personal information spread around to everyone on the planet, let alone to the people at Strava. I get that that's appealing to some people, and that's fine for them If...

+1 on Advanced Elements inflatables. I've had a couple and they fill my bill. You shouldn't leave them fully-inflated in the sun, so they aren't ready to go on a short-term whim. TT

Why did the Frenchman explode dynamite in his kitchen? . .. . . . . . . He wanted to see linoleum blown apart. TT

Looks interesting. The Netherlands looks good. I looked at Scotland too, which I might prefer for a first trip. Probably all of the countries would be great. I'll be taking a closer look. Without really digging it to be sure, the Scotland site doesn't mention the availability of ebikes...

Riding on the beach.

New pads are going to squeal. Let them break in for at least a couple of weeks. Or keep trying random stuff. TT

Getting out of bed in the morning is risky. Most people still do it, but as you say, to each his own. Dueces, bro.

They must not know that gun powder was invented in China.

I should say this: I have 4" tires and even at 5 psi, the loose sand above the high tide line can suck you right in. The packed, damp sand closer to, but not in the water, is great for riding on, but probably not with narrow tires. As for salt and grit, see above regarding rinsing. A battery...

I've ridden my bike and my truck on a lot of beaches and I haven't had any problems. Regarding rust and abrasion, there's a big difference between spending a few days on the beach and living there for years. Even so, people do live there and enjoy their bikes and autos. Taking a bike to the...

I love Cape San Blas. I haven't been since the hurricane, but it's a great place to ride an ebike. I rode on the beach from the park campground all the way to the Point, and on to the riprap on the south end of the peninsula, then took the people ferry on to St. Vincent Island, and rode the...
