    People are getting crazier

    Yes, what could go wrong? Dick Cheney and Steve Jobs both got spare parts from the same motorcyclist. What if it turns out the Myo Clinic and John Hopkins transplant centers are the major investors in the 70 mph unicycle company!

    Heavy Rider, need suggestions

    @indianajo is correct. Get a compact cargo bike. A used one is great, then convert it.

    Just for fun...

    I so love it. I have been feeding crows I see on rides. Also putting some cat food on a 4x4 post. Now they recognize me. One placed a chromed Nexus/Alfine acorn nut on that post as a gift. How could they know, a bike part? Someone said that an analysis of calls repeated a unique pattern whenever...

    Is Vado Smoking Addictive?

    I briefly rode the mid-Aventon Level 4 up a five-story parking structure. The auto shifting was clunky as hell with corners then climbs and speed bumps. That feature might be just fine on the open road. Or for someone who doesn't really ride bikes like Jimi proactively plays guitars. The push...

    I love Huxley. "Island" is so good.

    This is weird, maybe I should send one to Eastern Europe to help out and save a guy trapped in Spandex at 15.3 mph max.

    The transition

    It is weird for me going to those flyover states. Vehicles are very large and not electric. Sitting is the new smoking. People sit in cars for so many hours that they look both malnourished and obese a the sametime. Going to a place like a Walmart there you really see it. Once I went from...

    The Navy buys a lot of jet fuel and because of their own actions it now costs them three times more.

    The transition

    I think I am lucky to live in a place where I can ride everyday, all year. And everything is walkable and bikeable within two to three miles. Because of electric bikes I was able to ditch my car. This afternoon I will be with a popular cargo mom, ancient cyclist, and a safe streets cycling...

    Is Vado Smoking Addictive?

    Extortion and Profits. Delusions of Grandeur. It is all made in the same place. Belly Lycra sweaty cottage cheese butt with padding and limited to 15.3 mph then walking like a pregnant penguin when you get there? click, click. It is time for a mandatory proprietary software update or the bike...

    Is Vado Smoking Addictive?

    Oh, by the way, Aventon is based in California and totally supports its vast dealer networks and they fully stand behind their products. One time Specialized did fly an expert in from Colorado to help us with a problem and show us how to repair it. A batch of wire lombs were corroded from the...

    Is Vado Smoking Addictive?

    It is raining tomorrow. I will see it it clears up by the afternoon and let you know my assessment. Looks like I will be making a mid-drive Montague full sized folding mountain bike. It will fit under a desk and in the trunk of a sports car. He will use it camping in some cool places.

    Mines can be on the seafloor and look just like garbage. And they can be released upon the sound signature of a specific ship. Okay, off topic. I saw the latest $.25 quarter today. It shows very white English looking people embracing side-to-side, dressed up as Pilgrims. The other side shows...

    But there are a lot of them in suburbia caring only the driver and nothing, not even a scratch, in the bed. And the jacked 4x4s with a polished chromed undercarriage that has never been off-road. A guy in Vermont used an old Subaru wagon on his sheep farm. It would carry everything from dead...

    In the last two weeks traffic noise has dropped substantially. Not a many jackrabbit starts with Detroit V8s, just to see who can stop first at the next red light.

    Is Vado Smoking Addictive?

    On Friday my former boss was riding his new100 Nm Velotric Level 4 mid-drive in a group ride. It has push button electronic shifting and a bunch of other features. At $2,800 he said that is better than a $5,400 Vado. And he is a Specialized dealer. I get to take it on a climb on Tuesday. It...

    The best is when you can get a useless Bionx Mundo for $300. Then replace the rear wheel, fix it up, and convert it with a mid-drive. Suddenly it is better than $3,000 bikes.

    The transition

    I like it when guys under 5'5" take a $75,000 F-350, on an eight-year payment plan, and it only takes $180 per week to fill the tank, twelve blocks to the gym. Once there they take the elevator to the second floor (Ding) where there are the stair climbers, treadmills, and stationary bikes.
