That's an executive summary? I still don't know what you're FOR.

Zillions of ebikes in use here in coastal SoCal — many of them in the hands of teens and preteens with little training in traffic laws, basic bicycle safety, or the concepts of monentum and adhesion. A significant number of these riders clearly have no concept of "too fast for conditions" —...

No doubt about it, ebike legislation is a mess pretty much everywhere. When CA ebike legislation proposed in 2025 imposed a 750W limit on legal ebikes without clarification, I called my state senator and assembly member, both pro-ebikes, saying that you guys really need to clarify what kind of...

Why? Was he supposed to let Seixas win on Bastille Day?

Seemingly, the sad reality of every non-Tadej rider in the Tadej era. Must be pretty discouraging for all of them, not just Jonas. But we can help them. Fans and media would do the sport a favor by showing more respect for — and making a bigger fuss over — 2nd and 3rd place winners and the...

What an incredible experience you're having! You must be in hog heaven. Gonna take a lot of sucking up to come back from dropping your boss by 8 minutes. ;^}

Agree, many, many uses for a progressive, on-demand thumb throttle having nothing to do with getting out of pedaling — especially on a heavy bike, and especially in traffic and urban environments. No real need for a throttle on my 38 lb mid-drive, but really glad my less agile 70 lb hub-drive...

I'm no expert, but no to both predictions. Both love cycling itself, both love racing too much, and Jonas is too much a fighter for that — at least in the short term. As long as Tadej continues to cherry-pick his races, there'll be plenty of stuff for Jonas to win. Don't know about Wiggins...

Have you contacted Oprah? She's the one who got you into this mess.

Today's ever-changing TdF stage 9 kept everybody guessing to the end! Watch at least the last 80 km if you can. Love it when top commentators the likes of Liggett and Roll are openly baffled by what they're seeing on the road. Today they seemed baffled more often than not. Rest day tomorrow...

Not as distracting as you might think. I hear they're all leg men.

My wife says that the best place to hide things from me is right under my nose.

I have too many special talents to count, but my real center of excellence is losing stuff I just had in my hands minutes before. Also next level at losing hats. ;^}

Welcome aboard! With that elbow restriction, pretty risky to buy a bike you've never ridden. Bike fit is a very subjective thing. No one here can tell you which bike will actually be better for your elbow on longer rides. True, the more upright you are, the more weight on your butt, and the...

No data yet. Ask me again in 3 months. Hopefully, no flats by then, so any loss would be just self-discharge.

Yes. Topped off my tires with it a few times — enough use to confirm that the Cycplus AS2 Ultra works as advertised. But no opportunity yet for the ultimate test — re-seating a tubeless tire on the side of the road. I think the oomph is there, but only a test will tell. So far, this Cycplus...

Showed this to Mistress Melanie, figuring if anybody had the discipline, it'd be her. She said, "Not my kind of chain." I'll let myself out.

What a tragedy! Wonder who the parents will blame?

Thanks! My buddy's loving his Discover M so far. Still exploring all the riding modes — including the various auto modes. The operating system seems WAY more sophisticated than the one on my wife's year-old Velotric Breeze 1.

Excellent! Wish I had a reliable table like that for my power-sensing Specialized Vado SL 1. This table gives saturation rider power (Prs) as a function of assist mode settings. Prs is the rider power needed to saturate (hit the motor power ceiling) in a given assist mode. Handy to have a...
