Yes, so it's easier to maintain a presence in all the large cities there (which are mostly in a stripe along the south). With the most notable exception of a dealer way the hell up in Whitehorse. Which makes me wonder: If they have a dealer in Whitehorse, YT, why not one in Flin Flon...

Different buyers with different priorities, and different markets. And trying to cover every major city in the US could also be a challenge. But again, the tariff doesn't only apply to bicycles imported from Germany. Italian bikes, Taiwanese, French, English, Korean, Japanese, all of them...

They started shipping here to the US again shortly after the steel tariff problem. Currently, the bicycle tariff for Germany is something like 21%, but that's the same as most or all of Europe and Taiwan. From China, the tariff on bicycles is more like 46%. While that makes an R&M bike more...

I had them do some work on my Delite a couple of months ago - left brake lever needed to be replaced (I fell on it) and they did a good job. It was more complicated than it would seem b/c it involved removing the motor to route the brake light cable. No problems at all.

Yeah, I went through the same double bummer. I bought mine from Fly Rides when they were in Hollywood, and then they moved to Calabasas where I picked it up, and then they closed that store. At least there's Around the Cycle in Pasadena for service.

Just got this email - what a bummer. Dear Riese & Müller community, Being part of the bike and mobility community in the United States has meant a great deal to us over the years, and many of you have been with us for a long time. However, today we want to share an important update regarding...

Quick Glamour Shot! lol.

Third Anniversary Update: I still love it! I just changed the Rohloff juice again and it occurred to me it's been 3 years since it arrived. I'm taking it up into Griffith Park today. No problems at all - at least not ones that I didn't cause lol. I crashed a while back and that broke the...

After 8 months, I have my hour back!

Exactement ! mdr

Yep, time zones Alfa through India, and Lima through Yankee make the 24 standard time zones, plus Zulu which is UTC makes 25 letters. Time zone Juliett (the 26th letter) is "your local time zone." Now, why Alfa is not Alpha and Juliett is not Juliet or Juliette is a whole other trivia rabbit...

Bingo! You win $1! Or rather, €1. Next time I'm in lovely Poland :D

Oh, no, we benighted Yanks are aware of why it was introduced lol. It's just that the reasons are obsolete now. Changing the clocks doesn't save energy anymore. And in the summer, we kind of automatically get more daylight after work. The twice-yearly ritual has become a pain in the arse...

It's a bit of a fine point I suppose, but GMT was the former time standard, based on a meridian. UTC is the current time standard, based on an array of atomic clocks. GMT is now "just another time zone." Zulu is the military name for UTC. At least, that's how I understand it and I could be...

That looks like a splendid ride!

Eldred Street is insanity lol. Even if I could get up it, I'd be afraid to ride back down! There's another good one, about 30-ish %, called Fargo St. near Silverlake. The LA Wheelmen used to have an annual hill climb event there (on pedal power bikes), but unfortunately the City made the...

You should see the ugly streets in the Hollywood Hills. Big ruts, cracked and raised concrete, potholes, badly patched and re-patched areas... and steep. It's like technical single track mountain urban biking lol. That's my daily ride because there is very little car traffic up there, so I...

I'm liking the S Class of Bikes a lot! lol

Now Stefan, you wouldn't actually take the Mercedes G 63 of bicycles off road, would you?? 🤣

My Delite came with Johnny Watts knobblies, which I didn't really want. But those are what come with the GX option, so it was either toss out a pair of perfectly serviceable tires and put on smooth ones, or get some use out of the JWs for a while. 95% of my riding is on streets. This is...
