    Someone Left the Bike Out In the Rain

    I helped a girl looking for a used car. We found a nice looking Mazda 323. I took off the oil filler cap and shined a flashlight down into the valve train. The sludge and grime in there was disgusting. I casually asked the seller how often he changed the oil. He replied "never had to!".. I told...

    Electric vest

    With the HIGH temps in the 40's, I'm starting the ride in the 30's so call me a wimp but I need an extra source of heat. I can't imagine not bothering with gloves in the 40's though. That's a great idea on the USB access Dave Rocks. My vest is pretty power hungry and came with a 10,000mah battery

    The gym and lack of going.

    Having ridden both, I'd always pick the mid drive but that's just me.

    Electric vest

    I bought an electric vest. Would be nice if I could wire it to the ebike battery but too much of a hassle. We're still in the 40's here for temps in Northern MI and this vest allows me to ride in relative comfort. My face still gets cold but my core temp stays up thanks to the vest. These vests...

    Crazy Walmart mid drive deal $349

    Funny story, my brother bought his grandson who is 8 or 9 and junior "bulls" ebike. Very expensive ebike but top notch components. This was a gift from Santa Claus. The kid gets the bike and is disappointed. He tells his grandmother "I wanted Santa to bring me an Ancheer!". They get a refund...

    Crazy Walmart mid drive deal $349

    I already have 3 ebikes in the garage and 2 dino bikes. I'm tempted but will pass. Is it possible to have an addiction to ebikes?

    Crazy Walmart mid drive deal $349

    I just finished "1929" by Andrew Ross Sorkin... I was appalled at the backhanded deals and corruption in the stock market back then and I'm sure it's still there today

    Stromer commuters

    I don't want to pry but how much was the bike if you don't mind sharing. I know they're expensive but as of late, it seems almost all ebikes have become more affordable not factoring tariffs. Not sure how companies can get around that

    Crazy Walmart mid drive deal $349

    I had a CRX too. It was my favorite car that I ever owned. It was a little less than 10k USD back in 91' and I got the "HF" model with the 68? HP engine.. EPA rating was 49/52 and I could beat those numbers hyper milling. I loved that car but sadly it was a northeast vehicle and after 20 years...

    From Class 2 to Class 1. How "hard" is it to switch?

    Yes, I back off the pedal pressure before every shift. If I don't, I get a big clunk! So either my shift interrupter isn't working or it's too slow

    From Class 2 to Class 1. How "hard" is it to switch?

    I have a shift interrupter on my ebike but I find it is not fast enough detecting a shift. I still get a clunk if I rely on it.

    Winter Sucks

    I haven't ridden my ebike in two and a half months. Only two and a half more months to go. Oh well, I appreciate it more when I don't get to ride it every day

    Have tariffs affected pricing yet?

    Wow, that's a huge increase

    Have tariffs affected pricing yet?

    Just curious, I bought my second ebike about a year ago and tariffs weren't a thing at that time. My bike is a "rize" ebike and came from Canada. I shudder to think what kind of fees I would have today if I had the same bike delivered to my house

    Stupid E-bike games?

    I'm constantly playing games while riding my ebike. I typically ride the same route from home and I know exactly where my battery should be at each stage of the ride. I hesitate before every shift to protect the drive train even though I have shift detect. The shift detect is a little slow some...

    Fat STREET Tires are WAY BETTER for Riding on Pavement than KNOBBY Off-Road Tires

    I cross country ski and ride my snowmobile. Keeping the driveway clear keeps me in shape

    Fat STREET Tires are WAY BETTER for Riding on Pavement than KNOBBY Off-Road Tires

    I'm with PCebiker on this. It's just too damn cold out there in N Michigan. Personally when it goes below around 45-50 degrees F.. I'm done for the season
