Welcome to EBR. The Aventons are a popular bike on here (as are retired riders :)), but that's a different story.

With today's chaotic supply lines, it's even difficult for a LBS to get some parts for the bikes they do sell; getting parts to service a DTC bike is probably a very poor business decision. I certainly wouldn't do it if I had a bike shop (or appliance store, or car dealership, or anything...

Agreed. They are the only thing on that bike that I like the look of.:p Certainly not the white stuff all over the ground.

It was a joke, Stephen . Obviously not a good one.🙃

@indianajo once made the point that a chinguard is probably more important than a MIPS helmet because his chin took the hit on pavement in an OTB accident, not his head. But you are less likely to die from a badly broken jaw than a bad concussion. Coin flip?

Indeed, some LBS can and will. But you have to know enough to ask about it, and many that handle mostly ebikes don't know anyway, sadly.

You might be a memorable character @Chargeride , but I don't think a birthday overshadows the 9/11 anniversary quite yet. Happy Birthday , anyway. ;)

Only one I haven't (knowingly) eaten is sernik, and it looks like a spice so maybe I have ... used to have a friend whose mom was Polish. I ate there several times so it's possible. Edit ... I looked it up ... sernik is cheesecake so i have never eaten it. The picture labeling is vague...

I have to agree. Although I didn't care for the couple that I rode (too much like a gasoline mini bike), I've found myself recommending them to folks that are just concerned with getting somewhere without driving a car or truck. Vive le difference, I guess.

Emergency coffee for me is usually on the road at a truck stop or worse. Take it like a shot of bad whiskey for medicinal use only.

The bitterness is why they push all the dairy, flavoring, and sugar , I guess ... IMO the only good thing about that chain was that somehow they got people to expect better than Maxwell house that had been sitting on a warmer for hours. The worst thing to me was they showed cafes that free...

Yeah. Over here instant is not acceptable. No one admits drinking it, but strangely everyone has some in a cupboard. "For baking " they say, even if they never baked even a cookie in their lives. And I'm sure you made an impression . But that's no surprise...

Do they only serve espresso in most places in Warsaw? I could get "strong filter coffee" most places, but but never figure out how to order in France. No matter what I said they brought me nescafe. If it wasn't for the wine I would have been dehydrated to death. EDIT "When in Rome, do as thr...

I bought a srainless mocha pot and make expresso at home in it. Got it pretty close for a while, but none of my guests will drink it. And when I worked in an office, I was asked NOT to make coffee by my coworkers. Wusses, all of 'em.

All European coffee shops I visited make an Americono ? Or the Brits "filter coffee " all of which I prefer to most USA coffee shops. No sweetner, only light cream (if very bitter) usually works for me.

Sweetening coffee and adding dairy products worked for Starbucks , one reason for me to avoid them. Best coffee I ever had was in Rome, Italy, and I've been trying to duplicate it ever since.

Hello and welcome! I am in your age class as are many on here. I am amazed that your recumbent was too slow ( too heavy ?) in a flat state like Florida, but it sounds like you have found something better for you. 👍

Well, the US stores are selling Christmas decor in October (at latest) so being a few weeks early on Octoberfest beer is excusable, I guess, but I was surprised to see it this early. BTW the store I bought it from is already sold out and not expecting more according to the clerk there. I bought...

Not food, but I didn't see the beer thread. So it's not 5 o'clock, it's October Fest somewhere...

Makes sense. By the time I was in my late 20s I was over being an angry young man ( with occasional lapses well into my 30s) , and now am just a grumpy old fart, pretty happy most of the time. Martial arts training seemed to work for me (and later for my grandson) but in my teens I probably...
