Jeremy, Sometimes you have to be a little quick. I usually open the article in question. Press stop (X) - it's also the page reload button, and then right click in the webpage and open reading mode. This works for most websites. Sometimes the paywall stuff comes up quickly and I might have to...

... or the Chrome reading mode.

Caution - 8 year old humor ... If your nose runs and your feet smell - you're built upside down.

Yeah, and from the weather forecast last night the storm is now tracking into the south eastern tip of Newfoundland (Avalon peninsula and the city of St. John's) with 20"/50+cm of snow. There have been way too many 50cm dumps of snow in my region this winter. I'm going to have to look for more...

Here in the far north east we missed out on the storm entirely. It's all passing south of us and out to sea. Nova Scotia however is going to/getting snow from it. This is what winter has been like so far (limited snow and higher temps). It's the other areas in the Martimes (like poor Nova...

I'd love to cycle on those paths/trails in the winter ... nice and smooth (well mostly) but icy surfaces are just fine with studded tires. As for the other posters comments complaining about having to use 2 jerseys in under 65F weather .... just go away.

I have a greyhound who's also thinking that ... and it's only a balmy -5C here.

Great pic with a couple of sun dogs and a pillar.

Do people from Balaclava eat baklava and wear balaclavas? 🤪

How cold have you had the 21700 pack and how much degradation have you seen? I'm riding a Grin 750wh 52v battery with 21700 cells and while I haven't had it out very often below -20C (-4F) I have ridden regularly in -5 to -15C (20-5F) and haven't noticed a big drop (maybe in the 10-15% range)...

Still no real accumlated snow. We're currently getting a snow/rain mix that will turn to straight rain later this afternoon. This is the top end of the huge weather front that's pummeled the east coast and has now mostly gone out to sea. Winter 2024 in NB, warmer, less snow (so far) and no...

My local trails are very wet and sloppy. We had rain/freezing rain/sleet and finally a little snow last night. It's been like this for much of December, a bit warmer than average, not enough snow to properly cover and not cold enough to freeze solid ... so still just a cold sloppy mess with...

Like the comment earlier ... there are good and bad cadence based systems. I ride one that ramps power up no matter what the setting, so it's safe and comfortable to ride no matter the cadence level selected. A throttle gvies me instantaneous power, the amount being controlled by my hand. The...

Virtually every commercial torque sensing configuration also has some sort of pedal movement (cadence) sensing, whether it's a separate sensor or some sort of analysis of the waveforms from the torque sensor. As PU says "it is a safety thing". On the surface it just makes sense for the logic to...

At 3 bucks you get to completely ignore the snickering about them being "womans". Besides they're a base layer so all comments are pointless. As for the rest, I'm envious. The combination of time (inflation), USD to CAD exchange rate (~30%), and just generally a bigger market with more...

Lousy quality zippers or ones that wear/fail permaturely are the bain of my existence. It affects all of my fall/winter/spring activities and makes still very serviceabe coats/fleece tops of all sorts unusable. I haven't had the zipper in a pair of pants fail, yet ... but don't talk to me about...

Nice and festive but you're looking a bit green and thin. :D

Buy a Surly Bridge Club. Add a BBSHD or more preferably a CYC mid motor kit (the CYC is a newer slightly lighter design with more flexibility in it's installation/use). Add a good 48 or 52v battery and you're all set (perhaps using two). You might also consider a simple solar charging setup to...

That's a pretty cool place to store a cover. Unless I'm fully "kitted" with all my rain gear I figure how well my helmet/cover combo works is going to be the least of my issues. Well almost the least, since keeping your head relatively dry does make you feel better. Getting drenched from the...

I use a slightly thinner (but less rain protection on it's own) "head gaitor" than that nice Sealskinz one that m@Robertson mentioned. Instead I also have a thin rain cover for my helmet. This provides reasonable wind and rain protection as well as an insulating layer (air space) when it's...
