Here in The North Woods, things are pretty straightforward. When I'm on a rail-trail going through a town and have to cross a street, I slow down and check for traffic. If there are vehicles approaching, I stop, wait until the path is clear, then ride across the street; there are no signs, or...

Wow! And here I was, feeling good about doing 3,300km and 4-1/2 Everests this year 🤣

I have two months left in my cycling season. November is set aside for hunting, and December through March is reserved for Winter. I dont ride in the sow.

I mounted stick-on LED trailer lights from Curtis to my Ebike rack. Since the license plate was also blocked, I also added a facsimile license plate. I got the plate from Amazon, it is smaller than a regular license plate; apparently, in numerous jurisdictions, full-sized facsimile plates...

I've gone from the mid 70s to the mid 80s over the past year. I've noticed over the past couple of months that my "sweet spot" has crept up from 84 to 86.

Sad news, my first bike with multiple gears was a 3-speed Raleigh in 1962, loved that bike. My first ebike was a 2015 Haibike Trekking Pro. I loved that bike too, and would probably still be riding it, if only I could get my leg over the crossbar.

Love the Fireweed.

It's a new(ish) Samsung, my old one drowned last year when we dumped our canoe while running a rapid.

I'm a Luddite who can barely use my phone, and am consistently defeated by motel television instructions. I am now starting to take pics with my phone, the next step(s) will be trying to figure out how to post them. We literally live in the woods, and most of my biking is on rural back roads...

We're currently waiting at the terminal, waiting on the ferry which will take us to the South shore of the Saint Lawrence. For those thinking of touring the North Shore coastal highway, be aware that many of the slopes along the rugged coastline are in the 12%-18% range.

DW and I are currently on Isle des Coudres, a small island in the St. Lawrence River, about 125km East of Quebec City; the island is only reachable by ferry, which is free. With beautiful views of the river, the hills along the mainland, and a 25km, relative flat road circling the island, it...

I never thought to check my helmet to see if it made contact when I fell. I just had a look, pretty decent scratch marks on the left side, just above my ear. I never ride without my helmet, but an alarming number of riders do, the majority of them in their teens or younger

I ride a Bulls Iconic Evo1 with 27.5×2.4 tires, I've named it "Winnie" because to me, it rides like a Winnebago compared to my old Haibike Trekking.

The weather cooperated for yesterday's ride, but the rail-trail didn't. The multi-use trail sees heavy ATV traffic which creates a berm in the middle of the trail. I had to cross the berm to avoid some large rocks, and the front wheel hit soft gravel and turned sideways. I didn't go over the...

With the heat, poor air quality, and a couple of past "cardiac events", I am pretty much staying indoors. I rode 65kms last Sunday, and had rides scheduled for tomorrow and Saturday, but unless conditions greatly improve, I will take a pass on outdoor exertion.

I can't comment on the 160 or 300, but I have a had Ravemen TR150 rear light for over a year, I use it 2-4 times/week from April to October. My typical ride is 2 hours; I like that I am able to choose from a number of different light patterns, solid, flashing, intensity, etc. I really like...

I've been retired for almost 20 years. In my later working life, I tried to ride my analog-bike to work at least 3 times per week, a distance of 12 miles each way. When we moved to our cabin-in-the-woods back in 2007, I pretty much stopped cycling, but started again in 2013. Our cabin is...

I've used trekking-poles for years now, even on my daily 1-3 mile dog-walks. In addition to the benefits you mention, they also promote a more upright, shoulders-back stance, combating the forward leaning stoop many of us acquire as we get older.

Cookies: peanut butter, chocolate chip, Skor, oatmeal raisins; I'm not sure if a macaroon qualifies as a cookie.

An analog automatic, just because I put on first thing in the morning, and don't take it off until I get ready for bed.
