CORRECTION: Sorry, Giro d'Italia 2026 starts this Friday, May 8, not May 5. Tour of Romandie 2026 finished today with Pogi taking the GC and 4 of the 5 regular stages and Godon, the prologue and Stage 2, I think. Quite a showing by Lipowitz on several stages. I've seen the term "poker" in...

I know I saw it in a major CA ebike bill that passed in the last year or so — probably the one that went into effect in January, 2026. Look there if you need a citation.

Reason enough to keep this metric out of sight.

Lots of old people on this forum, myself included. Some consolation to know that old people are only going downhill from here.

The part about cyclists starts at 4:46, but the earlier part about Hells Angel-style bikers is even funnier. Clearly a lot he doesn't understand about cycling — especially the reality of air resistance and the value of functional clothing for some kinds of riding. But he does point out a...

Under existing California law, the only frame sticker that counts is the manufacturer's. My 500W Canadian commuter with thumb throttle was configured and sold as a Class 2 in 2022. No manufacturer's class sticker. And none would have made sense, as you can easily change its max pedaled...

Yes, but the question is, can you see the energy you've already put out during a ride?

Sorry, meant rider energy expended in real time. The software would have to integrate rider power over moving time to the present moment.

Does any bike display, GPS computer, or cycling app show energy expended in real time during a ride? The Specialized app shows the total expenditure, but only after the ride's finished.

Amidst all the hype over 19 yo Paul Seixas being the next great French rider, current French champion Dorian Godon keeps racking up one big win after another this season — including the 2026 Tour of Romandie TT prolog and stage 3. Godon's past his teens but deserves way more attention than he's...

Three remarkable things about yesterday's 21 mi hill and lap ride: (1) The missus joined me for the 16 mi hill part and took the 92 ft/mi of climbing in stride. (2) Ditto for the 2-3 mi of gravel involved — some of it pretty steep and rutted. (3) She enjoyed every bit of it. Took few photos...

Congrats — gorgeous bike! Sounds like BMC's evil scheme is working.

Sorry, no change. Maybe a new link?

Happy to help! I see the video now, but it's marked "private" and can't be viewed.

Welcome aboard! Bike noises can be very difficult to diagnose — even for experienced cyclists, and especially over the internet. Your video and some info about your bike might have been helpful, but I don't see the video. Upload it to YouTube, then post the link. Unfortunately, your shortest...

Welcome aboard! You were wise to do these tests. Aventon and Velotric are both solid, quality brands with well-designed bikes and large nationwide dealer/service networks. The last is important. You may be able to train and tool up for mechanical repairs, but electrical repairs might require...

Welcome aboard! Plenty of members with the expertise you're looking for. I'm sure you'll be hearing from them. Meanwhile, with a history of exploits like that, we'd love to see your bike and the places you ride — even locally. My 3 favorite forum threads are the ones for sharing ride photos...

Thanks, good to know for the day when my original OpenRun dies. Will have to test the OpenFit buds, but I like the way OpenRun headset fits me. Totally comfortable, and no way it's ever coming off by itself. Also, only 1 object to keep track of. For a guy with an 11th degree black belt in...

Really like this commentary...

Tour of Romandie S1 highlights are up on YT. Nice winning sprint by you-know-who. Guess I'm too much of a fan boy. Have yet to tire of witnessing this guy win.
