    2025 - Our Rides in Words, Photos, Maps and Videos

    Adios, 2025. As far as I’m concerned, good riddance. But, it was a good year for me and riding my bike. Cheers, and bring on 2026 rides.

    Specialized Turbo Vado SL: An Incredible E-Bike (User Club)

    Chris, does your shop sell these? Is anyone buying them? Just curious.

    Still waiting to get the cat ears since I haven’t been riding in the cold (yet).

    Friggin’ ridiculous. My ticket was 30 years ago, so whatever. Again…. Wankers….

    Which Pace have cadence sensors or dual sensors?

    I wonder how well the throttle works on Aventon’s latest “ACU”-equipped bikes. I know I’m moderately interested in the Aventure M model, which offers a throttle attachment if you want one. I’m not a big throttle user, but on a fat bike I want to have one for assistance when I need it.

    Rambo Krusader 2.0. Front Shocks

    If it’s an air shock, check the bottom of the fork to see if the adjustment screw came off and opened the air spring chamber. Could be an easy fix, although you’ll need a shock pump. If it’s a spring fork, that’s bad and should be fixable under warrantee???

    Sound in the Ears

    Fair enough, buddy. My father suffered from serious depression after he was discharged from the army due to his back problems. He was one of the first people, post-war, to have a disc operation at John Hopkins. That solved his back problems, but never solved his feelings of failure and...

    Beware the back side of Mt. Tam. The Marin water cops gave me a speeding ticket years ago. Not like there was anyone on the trails for us to be terrorizing. Bloody wankers.

    Yikes, Charge. I’m glad you’re better with it these days. That really sucks about what happened to you. Did people think you were faking? Bah!

    That sux, Avalanche. I wonder why the specialists can’t help you. Best of luck!

    Well, we know what you don’t like! Hater! :D :D

    Aventon Aventure M

    Well, we’ll see, Mike. Aventon may end up being the only (innovative) player/maker in this market soon. What will be interesting is to see what Lectric does with the Juiced brand. I hope they bring back innovation to fattys. The 20” fatty space is still pretty crowded and a lot of bikes are...

    Aventon Aventure M

    We’ll see how Fättie holds up for the next while, Chris. You may have a customer down the road. :) This Aventure M looks like a very cool bike. Yeah, I read your post that you sold off all the unassisted fat bikes.

    Aventon Aventure M

    Well, I guess I found the EBR stuff on this beast. Written report is below. The video seems to be on youtube, also linked below. https://electricbikereport.com/aventon-aventure-m-review/

    Ice is definitely problematic. The good news is that you can spot it on trails (if you’re observant, that is). The bad news is that sometimes the entire trail is covered and you can’t avoid it. As far as traction goes, it doesn’t really matter how fat the tires are, although I suppose lower...
