Seems like it would be fairly easy for Specialized to step into the lightweight road ebike like Scott, Pinarello, and Orbea have. Based on my Vado SL experience, I think their power-sensing "Turbo" operating system would be a natural on a road ebike. But it would have to be ported over to a...

Having rides from home that nice is truly a gift. I thank the cycling gods for mine every time I go out.

Be careful out there. Things happen at Arctic and especially Antarctic science stations.

As we drove home on the US 101 freeway yesterday, we came across some guys racing in the other direction. The blimp didn't have a chance. ;^}

Well, I was only 400 mi off! And I've been to Pacifica many times — though maybe not to that beach.

Fun interview with Cav talking about the TdF from a spectator's point of view. A very likeable guy.

Disappointing that this guy's so ignorant about ebikes. But if he knows what's illegal, I guess that's all that really counts. If a parent has to know that a given bike isn't street-legal to be prosecuted, then shouldn't suppliers be required to disclose that before purchase?

A happy dog! That looks like a San Diego or Orange County beach to me.

What a cutie is right! My short-hair kelpie-chihuahua mix is also long and low. Fun to see her and her friend the neighborhood Corgi together.

Think twice about mounting an expensive phone with high-end cameras on bicycle handlebars. The vibrations can damage the cameras' delicate mechanical parts. Look it up.

Another view of the cockpit. IIRC, a similar bar design left Como users with big mounting problems. Add Como solutions to the search?

LA County prosecutors, too, and I'm all for it. The sooner the parents who fund e-motos for their kids get the message, the better. Ditto for the suppliers. Saw a piece about it on an LA local news program just this morning. Refreshingly, the reporter and her expert were both quite careful to...

Your wife's right. It takes a lot of emotional courage to foster a dog. You know what's gonna happen, and you know it's gonna hurt. A neighbor just fostered a totally lovable street dog named Bodie from the pound. Instant hit with everyone the dog met. Really broke his heart to give Bodie up...

The things that become a thing on social media totally baffle me.

About time for me, too. Unless a hard ride wears me out, usually up till 0100-0200. Not for any great reason, mind you — just when the brain's ready to turn out the lights.

Morro Bay ride You're a bicycle addict on a long car trip with no bike along and in bad need of a fix. Then, as you pull up to the place you'll be staying for the next 3 nights, a miracle appears — a bike rental shop right next door! And a good one at that! Well, that was me arriving in Morro...

Tomorrow, October 22nd, is National Make A Dog's Day. Originally founded by Subaru to help shelter dogs, but a good excuse to make any dog's day. Also a good excuse to share dog photos. You know you want to. One good way to make Roxie's day is to take her to the beach — in this case, in...

Happens to me now and then, too, and not just with portrait images. When I see it now, I open the image in my phone's editor, rotate it 90° and then 90° back to the way I want it, make some other change (like a tiny crop) to force the editor to save all edits, then replace the misoriented image...

That gray structure stumped me at first, too. Turn it clockwise from landscape to portrait mode.

I think it's good to be graphic on warning signs. It takes failure of imagination out of the equation. The little lake we lived on near Denver froze several times a winter. The HOA dutifully put up "DANGER! DO NOT WALK ON ICE!" signs all around the lake. This in an area where people and pets...
