    The transition

    Reminds me of the time back in 1980 when I test drove a brand new Yugo. Got less than a mile before it broke down and had to be towed back to the dealer.

    Commuter Bike Setup

    I use this "Big Poppa" MIK compatible rear rack bag. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DWBX38HW?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_3 It detaches in seconds and can be carried like a briefcase, or with the included shoulder strap. You can carry it with or without the...

    I went to the liquor store on my bike. I bought a bottle of bourbon and put it in the bikes basket. I thought if I fall off the bike the bottle will break. So I drank the bottle right there. It's a good thing I did cause I fell off the bike seven times on the way home.

    I just got back from Pine Creek last night and was going to post something similar, but you beat me to it @J.R. As you say, what were the odds of meeting like that in such a remote location? I'm glad to hear your trip went well. I hope you didn't run afoul of those bad trail sections I...

    Public comments while I ride.

    I used to do that a lot in my younger years. Now days, you never know what the other guy will do. Especially someone driving a vehicle 25X heavier than yours. Whoops.... "Gee officer, I didn't even see him"

    Public comments while I ride.

    Nothing new here. I've experienced behavior like this for as long as I've been biking. It's worse in some areas however. I think it just emphasizes the general animosity many motorists have for cyclists.

    How do you draw down a battery for long storage?

    The XP Lite battery uses a simple spade connector. Buy a cheap extension cord, split the plug in half and insert the spades into the battery discharge port. Wire it to an incandescent light bulb as shown in @Gionnirocket post. The polarity doesn't matter.

    Did CA. legalize pot? Maybe they just stopped in for a toke and crashed on takeoff.

    Buying a House Advice Thread

    Back in 1979 when I was home shopping, the prices and interest rates were out of my reach even then. Instead, I bought land with the cash I had, used it as collateral for a construction loan and built my own home. It took 2 years to get it livable, but I leveraged the sweat equity and it paid...

    When cycling, do you like listening to music?

    As U.S. Grant once said: "I only know two tunes. One is Dixie and the other isn't." I ride trails to enjoy nature. Any noise, including music, detracts from that experience. Each to his own though.

    Ontario is a province, not a country. It should have been renamed Lake New York.

    When cycling, do you like listening to music?

    I don't understand why people who play music in public think that everyone likes their particular selections. Most people have their own personal taste in music. I guess the good part is, riders playing a loud boom box don't need to announce their presence by ringing a bell.

    I was always afraid of busting the wire bead while installing Tannus by applying too much force. I think this product would allow you to apply enough force to do it.
