    I disagree. For example, turn signals need to flash or blink in my not so humble opinion.

    Cold weather/wind = Cold head

    Like was already suggested, a water-resistant and windproof balaclava may be helpful. I don't think any of the ones that I use, currently, are. This is another one that is water-resistant and windproof. The Klim Arctic Balaclava has a breath deflector to reduce googles from fogging up. Klim...

    Winter Sucks

    I am looking for a water-resistant/windproof balaclava ski mask. I have a couple of balaclavas, but they are not water-resistant/wind-resistant. What do you use that works well e-biking when it is cold outside?

    Winter Sucks

    I am heading home from work and it is a mild 46 degrees Fahrenheit in the (Not So) Saintly City. I will probably take a bike ride after dinner.

    Lights Save Lives

    I have read something similar in the past. I seem to recall emergency vehicles, like police, fire or EMS, have similar concerns. Maybe I should go steady burn on headlight, taillight and traffic wand.

    Lights Save Lives

    Now that I have a rear luggage rack on my fat tire e-bike, I want to relocate my Cygolite Hypershot 350 from the set post to the luggage rack. I did find a Rack Mount for Hotshot and Hypershot Taillight, but it looks like it is made for a rack that has holes that are vertical. The luggage rack I...

    Lights Save Lives

    I have a Fenix BC30 V2.0 bike light. My taillight is a Cygolite Hypershot 350. I also have a Nitecore HC90 on my helmet. Lately I have been thinking adding something to give me a bit of side protection. I have a Streamlight Stinger LED HL and a Streamlight Stinger Traffic Safety Wand...

    Winter Sucks

    I am interested in hearing at what temperature different members will stop riding. I have only had my fat tire e-bike for a matter of weeks now. In my area of the Twin Cities (Rosemount) Minnesota we haven't had much snow, yet. We have had a bit of cooler weather, though. Right now it is 24...

    Winter Sucks

    I bought my wife some electric heated socks last year from Costco. I didn't find them when I stopped at my local Costco a few days ago. However, I checked the website for the manufacturer. They lowered the priced AND have a 50% off code, so I ordered a pair for me. So far, bike riding in the...

    It's cataract surgery time

    I have had them removed from both eyes. They did give me a choice of one eye near and one far (my terminology). If shooting a firearm or driving a commercial vehicle is a concern, choose carefully. https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/sites/fmcsa.dot.gov/files/docs/MEP-Recommendations-Vision-v2-prot.pdf

    Any comments on these battery-powered tire pumps?

    https://www.milwaukeetool.com/Products/2475-20 The reason I bought this one is because my wife and I were already invested in the Milwaukee M12 eco-system. Buying a device that uses batteries we already owned was an easy decision.

    It is time to review this. I am also in Minnesota and hope to extend the season a bit with a fat tire e-bike.

    Keeping feet dry in the rain

    Last night was my first fat tire e-bike ride since the first snow this fall in Minnesota. It wasn't particularly cold, maybe 34 degrees. While my feet didn't get cold, I can see that they will as the temperatures continue to drop as winter approaches. I did buy my wife electric heated socks last...
