It is but it looks like REI has upped the prices a lot - $1139 for a 500wh powertube(Before 20% coupon)! The times we live in ... got the same thing for $400 last year from REI. Ebikes508 and a few other small shops seem to still be selling powertubes at the old pre-tariff retail price at least.

Are you supposed to sop up the bean sauce with that yellow-white hockey puck? No potatoes rules out about 90% of North America and the only correct way to have beans for breakfast is in a breakfast burrito.

Yeah, we had a crossing like that. The city had to replace the crocs and fill in the pits with loose gravel due to budget cuts.

Don't mind him, he's British. Probably some obscure Dickens reference...

I've posted this one before, but this morning was a rare chance to catch this wall at least partially sunlit. Usually I'm going 25mph and trying not to get run over by the cars in the lane next to me through here, but Saturday AM traffic was non existent.

Thanks NV The squatches are scattered all over, but the ones I've posted so far are almost all in the same NW quadrant of Seattle and the adjoining burbs to the north. They are also far more likely to be found in certain neighborhoods - not too nice, never on redeveloped plots, never on water...

Since we are about to enter the Dark time of year, I probably won't be posting nearly as many henry murals (though I do have several on my daily route I haven't posted yet). Tonight was probably my last daylight commute home until next year, so I took advantage and went by 2 I've known about...

I'd view Reddit evidence as shaky at best! ;)

2 different bikes??

A high percentage of these old threads that we see coming up are being revived by obvious bots too.

Is it still a mid-drive if the drive is no longer mid?

A better question would be: How many of these big established recumbent ebike brands have offered to provide bikes for EBR to review in the last year? IF the answer is more than zero, THEN a follow-up would be why EBR decided not to review them. (The obvious assumption being that given a...

squatch on the back patio of a local taproom.
