Okay, up hill or on the flats. Tour de France bikes go at very high speeds down mountains. And it takes an athlete to sustain high speeds by pedaling on the flats or up hills. Extreme outliers only prove the general rule. When an out of shape chubby kid it doing over 20 without pedaling, that is...

The key I see is to physically remove the throttle from any bike claiming to be Class 1 or 3. Anyone going over 20 mph without pedaling is in violation. Anyone pedaling over 20 with a battery physically on the bike is Class 3 or illegal. The best enforcers are Karma, Darwin, and Hades when they...

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...

Here Karma and Darwin visit an illegal throttle eMoto rider with no helmet when Hades suddenly appears.

Karma is holding hands with Darwin as Hades appears from behind a no helmet guy on an illegal throttle e-moto motorcycle.

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...

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...

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...

Text that to my landline.

@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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
