    The transition

    Never said they were scenic, just not offensive. Typical travel for us, we don't see any of them up close and personal since we don't spend much time in the populated areas they tend to be. Can see a nuclear facility across the bay from one of the cabins we rent; not bad at all several miles...

    Just for fun...

    My urologist says there is usually a fix for that.

    The transition

    I just checked: the solar panels (similar spec) for our van are currently a smidge higher in cost than when we bought ours 3 years ago. Could be a tariff thing, but that is reality. LiFePO4 batteries are currently on sale for the same price I paid, also 3 years ago.

    Not tremendously different looking than steel, food, pet food factories.

    Interesting image; gray condensate and white smoke, really? I am not offended by water vapor condensing (cooling towers). Have not seen a smoke stack belching particulates in decades.

    The transition

    Most of our travel takes us through Midwest agricultural areas many wind and solar installations. From an esthetics perspective, I don't mind wind turbines at all; graceful looking to me. Solar farms are downright offensive looking; some installations are miles long stretches of weed infested...

    What’s your preferred cadence?

    Cadence and speed are 2 different things with multi-geared bikes. Without exception, if my wife complains her knees are getting sore, increasing her cadence to 80-90 resolves the pain; no change in ground speed. It is unnatural for many/most to do 90ish; in my younger days we rode long and...

    Are 750 watt ebikes actually legal?

    My curiosity was peaked, so I checked my bike spec. What's with all these bikes that are 750 or higher? Do you tow auto transport trailers? Or are these primarily Class 2s? Full disclosure: although I don't do it often, 20 mph is no big deal for the C380. Don't spend much time on "steeper"...

    The transition

    If one can believe an AI summary, 3 times. Full disclosure: I don't agree with any federal government bailouts or subsidies.

    Police - questioning the power rating of your E-bike? or Ticketing you?

    Lots of overthinking on the subject. I'll stick with "don't ride like a dick and no one will care what you ride." This will likely turn into lawyer problem, not a police problem.

    What’s your preferred cadence?

    Another data point for knee health: my wife is a natural 50-60. When she mentions knees, I coach her up to 80 and the pain goes away.

    Pretty basic math. Comparing higher volume (ICE) to lower volume (EV) change in sales.
