    Everyday is Bike to Work Day?

    Tell every criminal type that Flock Cameras have more gold inside and other precious metals than any catalytic converter. All they need are Presidential masks from LBJ to Nixon or more, a ladder, and some security bits from Harbor Freight that cost less than 12 bucks.

    There are guys doing 40 mph in traffic on the streets with scooters and these insane unicycles. At least two have stopped, vanished. Perhaps they had a meeting with Darwin, holding Karma's hand with Hades approaching from behind.

    The Canadian geese who have made it here to the left coast (alternate CA) like to stay all year and have two or three batches of hatchlings each year.

    She is a friend. I know her husband well and her kid doesn't normally talk to anyone outside of family but he talks to me enthusiastically. They have me over for things such as Christmas dinner. We have bike rides, picnics and fly kites. She is close to the age of my eldest son. I am sort of an...

    This bike has been to Burning Man five times and was never washed. Two of those years were mud pit rain years. It was rusted to hell. The chain was rusted solid. I finished the conversion this morning. How long does it take to replace a seatpost; ten-hours.

    There are 427-year-old sturgeon that live there. The species has not changed in 300-million-years. That is why he is sending underwater drones to wipe them all out. As the exception to the rule they represent a threat to biblical cosmology. A river in Indiana caught fire in about sixty-seven...

    You know that if anyone else flattened half the White House they would go to prison for life as a terrorist. No one is going the the Kennedy Center, including any performers, so now he wants to flatten that. Because he can't put his name on it.

    That is funny on several levels. For example the Naval war that just restarted after no one thought about a strategy before starting it in the first place.

    Mapquest will not cave. I would like to undo everything that buffon ever diddled, molested, and ruined. My friend just rode her bike across the continent, she could not mention her friend until the ride was over. And the friend was too intimidated to post because her husband was the Olympian...

    I saw a dog start running before the spinning disc left its master's hand. There was a cross wind. It ran then jumped while twisting in the air and caught the Frisbee. That inspired me to make this.

    As I am typing this, a big electrical storm is going on outside. Lots of lightning strikes close by. There doesn’t seem to be much wind, so perhaps no downed trees tomorrow. Dinner is a pouch of beans I’ve been carrying in my food bag for at least 60 days. I would guess there were a lot of...

    Why does giant need me to be online to use the bike?

    Hey @Gionnirocket, is being 'allowed' to do about 5 minor tweeks within set parameters on a Levo is not the same as being able to control the programing as an owner? At most you can for example change wheel diameter by no more than 5%. You can't change speed limit for when you ride on private...

    A young teen and his grandmother purchased a single speed Schwinn coaster brake used bike in new condition at a church sale for $70. They do not have much money and wanted a simple low cost conversion. I just did this. And, yes the time stamp is off.
