    Sudovia with Tommy: Day 3 - Lithuania We offended our host Aga on Sunday by asking for not making the breakfast for us, as we intended to set off for the ride around 6:00 a.m. She is overprotective and overly welcoming her guests! :) Well, the first part of our ride northwards led through a...

    Sudovia with Tommy: Day 2 - Main Ride After we ate a big breakfast at Aga's guest-house, I and Tommy went straight on the ride to follow the route of Sudovia Gravel 2026 that I already completed in May under perfect weather and road conditions. The plan was to ride for 102 km with 1,400 m...

    @Chargeride: I just want to remind you England suffered drought in 2025. "When you start complaining about the heat in August, I'll remind you what you said in July". A 2011 meme I made during a cold and rainy month of that year. "When the summer weather gets to you Remember, remember the...

    The Sudovia Trip, Return, The Hottest Day in Poland! Friday afternoon to Sunday 2 p.m. were fabulous riding days for me and Tommy. We were cooled by the wind, were properly fed and hydrated, swam in lakes, ate delicious Podlachian/Sudovian food. We even took a trip to Lithuania! I'll try to...

    In Amazing Sudovia Again I and Tommy took a train from Warsaw to Suwałki yesterday. The train with its final destination in Mockava (Lithuania, not Moskva of Russia!) was full of cyclists, and we are talking multiple carriages. For instance, there were as many as 13 bikes in our carriage! All...

    A couple of years taken literally. Two, precisely. Now, is the warranty over, or?

    @stompandgo, you wrote: I understood it as the "total system weight limit". You meant "rider + cargo"? Or, just "cargo"? So, which "weight limit", precisely? Now, I do not trust the specs given by Amflow at all. First of all, the rims. The strongest commercial rims I've heard of were of the...

    Pinion Motor.Gearbox.Unit (MGU)

    Not. Pinion.MGU has been in the market for 3 years now and I didn't hear of any EBR member to have bought it. I cannot see it offered in the broader market and have never seen a Pinion.MGU e-bike in real life. For instance, Riese and Muller offers Pinion.MGU e-bikes so why don't people buy it...

    I've been a Forum member for 6.5 years. Everybody rides either derailleur/chain or Gates carbon belt/IGH e-bikes. Cannot wait till someone buys one of the inventions the cycling Hell is paved with :) Who can remember Reevo? Who of you has ever bought a Pinion.MGU e-bike?

    I've promised to myself not to provoke The Apostle anymore. I'm just curious when and if he would ever buy any of the contraptions he advocates for :D Goodnight.

    I just want to show you how the Varmia Gravel "Cobblestone Segment" looked like :) Not me, not me! (This road is 100 years old). As we gave Pawel J (far left) a warm welcome, we helped the daughters of the next finisher welcome their Dad (an Ultra rider) :) Cowbells, a chequered flag...
