    WHAT!?

    And it will be a lot more that an Omani plane. They also killed a US resident inside their embassy. Besides paying no price for that terrible Tuesday morning of September, 11th 2001! They are heavily invested in the US auto industry and want to suppress EV innovation. They care less for...

    I just made this. Karma and Darwin holding hands while they visit a SurRon kid. Or, maybe a cat that chews wires.

    Yesterday I repaired a bike with a chopstick. The connection pins to the rear hub motor were bent. Another bike, a Velotric was attacked by a cat who bit through the display wires and shorted it. I spliced it and did a system reset. It took all of ten minutes. Who ever heard of a cat attacking a...

    Clean Custom Conversions

    Patrice is going off-road across the country with her tent. She had a checkup at Goldfinch Cyclery in Des Moines yesterday. Andy said that her chain was the cleanest he ever replaced. He was floored that she never had a flat. I boiled that chain in wax. My goal was that she could go from Seattle...

    Clean Custom Conversions

    Thank you @LandoftheGiants! She is a grad student with no money, a short commute, and lives on a hill. I don't know about you, but so many Yanks are putting ranch dressing on their crisps and even dipping their pizza in the stuff. To me that is gross. Does a shrimp cocktail come with ranch...

    What Streets Should Look Like

    @stompandgo, Is correct. Bicycles are seen as a toy. Taking a road from four lanes for cars down to two is hated. Any change, even for the better of a neighborhood, is objected by those who are nostalgic for a fictional time that never existed.

    Impotent Rambo Megatron

    Just based on the age of the bike before reading everything in the OP, I was thinking battery. Bikes in northern climates typically sit the Winter in storage from the about the end of October to the end of March. That is five months or so. Batteries do not like that. And I agree about the...

    What Streets Should Look Like

    I will take another photo. The intersections are like in that video. They extend way out for cyclists and have flashing yellow lights with offset cross walks with white and green. The new roundabout is nice. It is faster than stopping, traffic calming, and feels safe. And where parked cars are...

    What Streets Should Look Like

    This is what streets should look like. It was four car lanes with parked cars on both sides. There was no space for bikes and the risk of getting doored. The cars were doing 50 mph and no crosswalks. This can happen for your town. Build it and they will come. A four-way stop was replaced by a...

    Amazon Stops Selling Illegal eMotos in CA

    This is scary. I am so glad I didn't tell the kid how to jailbreak his bike then let him go off without a helmet. That would have been easier. He said that he would just go a few hundred yards on a bike path to a friend's house to pick up a helmet, but I insisted; No helmet, no bike. Take my...

    Must carry tools: what are yours?

    And it is only $520 with the cigar cutter, which every six-year-old needs. Along with a corkscrew. It weighs a kilo and can't lever a tire. 'Is that a multi-tool in your pocket, or are you happy to see me?' It the excuse I employed in middle school in front of cute girls. Oh, I have a Swiss...

    Aventon Ramblas is Nice 2026

    My friend has been riding a bike per year for the past nine years. He has a tendency to go for bikes with odd gimmick features. I told him to go to the local Aventon dealer. It might cost a little more than an internet only bike, but he will have local support and can test ride it first. I rode...

    Must carry tools: what are yours?

    @Wetstuff, see the thread, Show Us A Tool. It has some more ideas than what to carry on a bike. All I really need is a quick check before a ride. I have tube sealant installed, so I normally do not need to carry tools. Being prepared is more important from my point of view. Maybe a stretch off...
