    When cycling, do you like listening to music?

    I know I am reviving a Zombie thread. But c'mon...good music and bikes!! I am not on my bike now. But I am totally enjoying Beth Orton's Central Reservations album. I just learned that David Roback from Mazzy Star produced and mixed some of Beth's music. I am so fortunate...my friend, who...

    Show us pictures of where you ride your ebikes!

    Yeah, I felt great afterwards, that is why I love the Creo! Beautiful view you have on that hill at least!! You had a great elevation ratio on the ride! I am similar to you, I have mostly solid jerseys, and have zero team or sponsor jerseys. I like high visibility orange or red for road...

    ^^ That is a good question. there is always road work on these roads, so maybe they have someway of communicating that? I am clueless on that topic!

    I had planned on riding either my MTB or gravel bike today for about a 1.5 hour ride, but I was so wiped out and dragging in the morning I had to go to the Creo. Last night, I rode a short 30 minute ride on the Creo. But the day before, I rode a spirited ride - a combined bike trail and MTB...

    ride.specialized website no longer available

    I use the Specialized app with my Creo 2, as it was the app they showed me when I picked up my bike. Then, I learned about the Ride app here on EBR. I liked the way the Ride app presented the rider power output, assist mode zones, and heart rate in charts. I never knew there was a website...

    @PedalUma just letting you know we are listening… On my ride today, I stopped on Sheep Camp trail to lower my tire pressure slightly, after riding all pavement prior, and when l looked down I saw the thorns. Haha. I never knew all of the various types, so I appreciate your post. Yep, we have...

    Today I rode 25 miles, with about 2600ft of elevation gain. With a couple 15% sections. I am working my way up to a self-supported 60 miler....Two 30 mile routes, with a break in the middle. This was one of the possible routes. The start today, is a 10 minute drive from my house. I hit a bit of...

    Why Ebikes Are More Fun Then Motorcycles:

    It is a different type of fun. I have many more miles pedaling than moto-ing, from mower motor mini-bike to first real motorcycle, a 1987 Honda VFR 700. Which I rode it around San Francisco and the Sonoma Hills. It was great. I have ridden my road bike on some of the same roads in Sonoma...

    I am not sure where you ride, but this type of fire from homeless encampments are very common in the San Francisco Peninsula and South Bay. Your photos could be from my area! The encampments seem to be right next to main frontage roads which also have residences. Good thing that we have talented...

    What’s your preferred cadence?

    Interesting Stefan, The Creo 2 does not have the type of cadence display that you describe. I never look at the top tube display during the ride, other than see the battery level near the end of a ride. But there are only three zones which are customizable. but just numeral - not graphic. But, I...

    transport style cycling maps

    It took me a second, but now I get it..."Mass Transit" style maps – rather than Transport, as your post is titled. I am not a world traveler, but have been to England and their transit maps are the best! NYC has their version, though I've spent little time there, although I grew up in the...

    Must carry tools: what are yours?

    I love your newer WolfTooth 8-bit Chain Plier tool. That is really smart! If I didn't already have those functions (though bulkier when all my separate tools are combined), I would pick this up. All of my rides are under 40 miles... but I am a bring almost the kitchen sink guy, often riding on...

    Do You Wear A Cap Underneath Your Bicycle Helmet?

    I remember that music / biking thread. I did not contribute, I just play it by ear, my music taste widely varies greatly and I can quickly just change, if not working for my mood, thanks to Spotify. MTB trail rides the music is usually very mellow, vs road rides. I have a small collection music...
