    Which to pick?

    Then the Discover should be OK. Not optimal, but OK.

    Another new TQ motor: hpr40

    I loaded a GPX file from a recent ride and it calculated over 50% remaining. I had 15% remaining. That's why I asked where the data came from.

    The transition

    The US does not need any foreign oil. Period. We have plenty. We are not at war for oil. We import foreign oil because the green lobby prevents the building of new refineries that could process American oil more efficiently. Conversions are expensive and would disrupt the market.

    Another new TQ motor: hpr40

    If I input a GPX file, where does the ride summary data come from?

    So now it is Russia having "no good options" instead of no options. I see what you did there. "Good" is subjective. Good today could be disaster tomorrow. Your points above have a lot of merit, especially where you say that if Russia chose a nuclear response and it failed, that would be a...

    So it is ok for you to post cheesy ad hominem attacks to other people's intelligence because they don't agree with you? OK. If you took my comment as a personal attack, I apologize. My intent was to challenge your point of view, not you personally. You have no idea where I have traveled, what...

    2026 - Our Rides in Words, Photos, Maps and Videos

    That's interesting. From your pictures, I see a lot of wet, mossy, gloomy areas, interspersed with scorched, unprotected, grassy areas.

    Amazon Stops Selling Illegal eMotos in CA

    Where I am relative to the fog line is dependent on traffic, especially oncoming traffic in the other lane. If I've got a vehicle approaching on my left flank with an oncoming vehicle in the opposite lane, I'll take more lane to get them to notice my presence, then move back. Otherwise, I stay...

    Amazon Stops Selling Illegal eMotos in CA

    There are well behaved group riders and ill behaved group riders. I've been doing group rides for decades, and still do. We always ride single file, even when riding flat out, recognize motor vehicles and give them way, stop at stop signs and lights, and respect other road users. If I'm on a...

    No hands riding

    It's hard to compare road bike based e-bikes to bikes designed as e-bikes from the ground up. You just posted a bunch of pictures of road bikes, like the Peugeot and the Raleigh. For their era, the Peugeot had a "touring" geometry, and the Raleigh had a "race" geometry. Touring geometry today is...

    He still says that he does not know where $100B that the US pledged to him went. I can tell you, right back into the pockets of American politicians. Zelensky is the greatest grifter of all time.

    The transition

    My response was to the ridiculous statement that Russia has no way out of this war. They most certainly do have multiple ways out of this war. Putin has already used chemical weapons in Ukraine, just not the scorched earth kind. They have the brains to sort out any kind of weapons "issues" that...

    Then you must be very happy how similar to Russia that America has become.

    Strip new chain grease before lubing with Rock N Roll Gold?

    Beware of hippy appeal things.

    No hands riding

    I will ride sitting up sometimes, on an open trail section with clean pavement and with nobody else around. It gives my torn up shoulders (2x shattered clavicle left, 1x compound fracture clavicle, grade 3 AC tear without surgery right) a nice break. The geometry of my Pinarello is gravel, with...

    Which to pick?

    What do you mean by "wide track trails"? What is the range of surfaces? I don't know anything about Himiway, but the Velotric Discover is fine for man-made gravel trails and some easy single track, but once things get rough, you are going to want an E-MTB.

    The transition

    The problem with the "political suicide" argument is that it is viewing Russia through an American lens. In America, every day, felons distribute illicit drugs, rob homes and stores, destroy private and public property, and maim and kill innocent people, and judges let them back out on the...

    Vado SL 4.0 with a suspension fork?

    It's not just the M2S, all of the >100Nm drive units are going to kill mechanical drivetrains, especially on E-MTB's which experience very high torque peaks as obstacles are ridden over. Fortunately, chains and cassettes are high margin components.
