    Got a flat tire?

    Not a seasonal issue here. Broken glass is year round but usually easily avoidable . Never used a sealant, but asked @PedalUma about them. He's building a bike with both inserts and liners now.

    So leave a 20 foot gap over once in a while. So what? They get around overhead hi power lines in town all the time...

    Roof

    How about stationary roofs over bike lanes instead? Maybe just covered by solar panels with slow ceiling fans for daytime, led lights at night, and charging stations every 20 miles? Shady and dry , open sides so breezy in summer , you could even heat the surface in winter and it would still...

    Old guy wants new bike (hopefully).

    Hello and welcome to EBR. There are ebikes here that absolutely require pedaling, and others where the pedals could easily be footpegs with no loss of functionality. You will find something that works for you and you will find some of your countrymen here as well. Choosing an ebike can be hard...

    Add oil to wood fence/cabin weather treatment?

    The transition

    I've never heard of these, or ot the Morton you mention below. My question is always "who services something that is too heavy to return to sender." Boring, I know, but something that really matters if we aren't mechanics with parts available off the rack.

    Folding e-bike for small airplane

    If you choose to risk it on a small plane where you know about it, that's OK. If it's commercial, where you endanger the clueless dozens or hundreds of others, it's not OK. At all.

    Folding e-bike for small airplane

    Didn't know about the 99wh limit (for commercial flights I assume). That actually seems reasonable if a bit low. I wouldn't want to be seated next to or underneath a 500wh battery that decided to have a bad day, either.
