At a rest stop at Hudson Gardens yesterday I ran into a couple biking with their two children. Mom carried the youngest in a basket on the front bars, giving the kid a view of something other than Mommie's butt but I loved the older one riding in a WheeHoo trailer. It lets them pedal along or...

Went with a Foldylock Compact from Seatylock. Childish name, good product, lower in price than Abus. http://seatylock.com

I've got Wald baskets also, no problems once I figured out how to mount.

Picked up a Thudbuster ST from my new elbs (Slo-Hi Cycle), took it for 30 mi test. Still needs some tweaking I think but riding it was as if someone had just resurfaced the path. My butt and back are in love with it. Even more because it had been on a demo for a month and I got it for $85.

Got my first flat (front) after 1900 mi. Of course had to make a big deal out of it - I had just installed Hexlox, managed to lose the key and got a flat the very next day, had to wait a week for delivery of new keys from Germany. Hadn't fixed a flat in 50-60 yrs but I guess it's like riding a...

Sounds like a song title!

Had my first 50+mi ride Saturday morning, it pretty well reflects my overall ebike experience. Was thinking about 20 mi when I left home so I dropped down to the Platte River and headed North to Clear Creek. Felt so good when I got there that instead of turning around and heading home turned...

On the "Best E-Bikes USA" fB page there was a post (Aug 25th) about booster batteries. Wondering if anyone here has done it, and results? Would it require changing controllers? I have a Magnum Metro w/48v 13ah batt fitted into frame. Here's some of the post explaining the idea : "We can add a...

39 mi day down the Platte to Bear Creek and west to the 13th tee at Homestead Golf Course, then home. 715ft climb in last mile out, twisty paved path, great views even on a hazy day. Most of Bear Creek is nice, long wooded stretches some open almost savannah areas. Had to stop at Grant Frontier...

76. That seem like middle age here.

At the shop yesterday and heard they are moving to Shops at Northfield in September. Bummer. One of the reasons I bought the bike I did was the close (1 mi) location of a dealer. I have a good lbs - Yawp Cyclery - close for regular bike stuff, not sure how I'll handle any electrical issues.

Bought thru Velosurance, got a policy with Merkel for my Class 3 Magnum. $24/mth, gives more than basic coverage. Have no exp with claims yet, thank God.

Shipping est fm Canada is 9-13 days, cheapest method.

It Was an X4, not E4. Creeping senility.

Ordered a Roxim E4 fm ebike.ca, $80 + shipping. Tried to find a Busch & Muller IQ X E but no luck.

Trying to ban Class 3s because they can go too fast.

The combination of the building under construction and the architectural folly/Stonehenge-y things in the park keeps catching my eye.

From a 35 mile day along the Platte and then up Clear Creek toward Golden. I still haven't done the full out and back to Golden on trails, would be almost 60 miles, working up to it, I've gone as far as 43mi. Our native vegetation along water here is cottonwoods, willows and scrub oak; some of...

My Metro came with Spanniga Kendo + headlight which is ok if you want someone to see you but ridiculously weak (says "40 lux") if you want to see the trail. When I went to replace it found out that Magnum runs it directly off the battery so there was 52v at the plug!!! Most lights are 6-12v...

Just ordered one, having similar probs getting set up just right on my Magnum Metro and wanted to try this before shelling out a couple of hundred bucks for Kinect, etc.
