    Hah, you know I work in a neighborhood with a heavy Nordic heritage? One of my customers came in today, but her husband Svein, wasn't with her. Pretty sure they are first or second gen Norwegian Americans.

    I get a kick out of the no pets allowed signs every time I bike past a Seattle school. https://www.kuow.org/stories/why-are-potbellied-pigs-banned-seattle-schools/

    Love that area. Spent a couple magical hours wandering the wildflower preserve near there with my wife years ago.

    Bear guarding the back door to Reuben's Brews taphouse, a few blocks from their production facility. They have a mural in their beer garden too. I might have to sacrifice and stop for a pint someday to get a photo of that one.

    Bosch Drive Unit Service Kit - Maintenance BDU2XX

    @Dima I haven't rebuilt anything in my drive unit or added/replaced the o-rings to help block water intrusion. I have about 22000 km on the bike with a fair bit of that in rainy conditions. It's a little noisier/rougher than it was on day 1, but still chugs along just fine.

    Bosch Drive Unit Service Kit - Maintenance BDU2XX

    Ehat he sa The R&M model year of your bike is irrelevant if you already know your drive unit part number. You have the right kit. If you are 100% sure the pictures and part numbers you posted are correct, then yes Wildtrak knows his stuff.

    Inner tubes. Our friend AND enemy.

    I've had good luck with the CB speedier tire lever- at least saving knuckles and being sturdy enough not to break. Also super quick to get the tire up off the rim when removing the tire. https://www.crankbrothers.com/products/speedier-lever

    No, he doesn't date his stuff. I'm guessing "Miller" did the underlying mural for Barking Dog Alehouse. Then at some point henry updated it with the salon dogs, sun, fish, and tentacles. The dogs are drinking Rainier beer

    Rad January funding or close

    I can't speak to California's WARN laws, but WA's version just took effect this past July and is for closures/layoffs >50. It looks like notifying employees is also a requirement in addition to notifying the state and the city. I don't think the letter to employees is public record, but such...

    Rad January funding or close

    It is a legal requirement here. The letter to employees was open, but bear in mind that it was crafted knowing that the legally required WARN notice is a matter of public record here and would be in the news by the end if the weekend.

    I'll have to bike back by this one in the daylight sometime. The building has a salon and a dog friendly alehouse. The mural is confusing though. I think it is henry added over an existing mural?

    Drove to work yesterday and spotted this one on the skinny end of this dive bar. Biked by on the sidewalk this morning and saw the squatch on the wide end of Woody's.

    Post deleted???

    The search index is broken. Nothing after August 23rd shows up for anybody in "your content" The fact that stuff stays broken for weeks/months at a time should tell you that the mods aren't scouring posts 24/7 so they can frantically delete reviews of POS Amazon ebikes.

    Any negatives to buying a Bulls older model like Bulls Iconic Evo TR 2 ?

    Also, if you have a System 2 bike that connects to eBike Connect you can go into your bike's details and see the part # and sn#'s of the drive unit, battery(ies), and head unit. I assume the Flow app also has this for Smart System bikes. The part# can be googled to match up to which drive...

    10,418 Miles on my 2021 Trek Allant+ 7S

    It is but it looks like REI has upped the prices a lot - $1139 for a 500wh powertube(Before 20% coupon)! The times we live in ... got the same thing for $400 last year from REI. Ebikes508 and a few other small shops seem to still be selling powertubes at the old pre-tariff retail price at least.

    Are you supposed to sop up the bean sauce with that yellow-white hockey puck? No potatoes rules out about 90% of North America and the only correct way to have beans for breakfast is in a breakfast burrito.
