Humorous article in the Guardian by Zoe Williams on navigating around London by bike without using GPS technology. Apparently, it's healthier? :oops: I guess this assumes you don't get hit by a bus while you stop to read the map...

Many of us older riders have converted to e-bikes now, and our venerable old conventional models are used less and less. My wife and I used ours for awhile after we got our first e-bikes, but now, since we are less able to ride them, they are just gathering dust. We tried listing them on eBay...

I got this email from Archer today: We're not stoked to say this... But the time has come to shut down our business. We have one last batch of batteries, chargers and remotes (sorry no more shifters). Head over to the shop to get what you need to keep your ride shifting...

Grin Technologies is offering a 25% off sale on their stock of non U/L approved batteries: https://ebikes.ca/shop/electric-bicycle-parts/batteries.html All current Grin batteries use high quality Panasonic or Sony cells, but are not U/L approved. The sale is to make room for their new stock...

I know this has been discussed many times here before, mostly by roadies, but I'm curious how many trail riders actually use knee or elbow protectors. If so, what do you use and why? I've talked to quite a few riders at trailheads who use protection, and almost all say they started using them...

I just received this recall notice from Delta for their TD3418B and SM1979 stem risers. I have 3 of these risers, and I've seen others mention them here as well. So far, I've had no issues with the products, but I'll replace them as a cautionary measure...

The port of Baltimore is a major east coast container ship import location. The collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge may affect bike imports. It could result in a delay if you have a bike on order. https://www.wbaltv.com/article/baltimore-bridge-collapse-key-bridge-video/60304085

An interesting idea: https://www.usatoday.com/videos/tech/2023/01/25/teacher-kenya-uses-old-laptop-batteries-power-bikes/11121637002/ I doubt these old cells would be any safer than newer products, but they certainly are cheaper.

I have two identical good quality 52V, 20 AH Reention DP9 downtube batteries that I purchased from Grin Tech. https://ebikes.ca/shop/electric-bicycle-parts/batteries/52v-20ah-downtube-battery.html I charge both to 58.8V before a ride and discharge the first to 20% or so. When I switch to the...

If so, which one and what features do you use? I gave up wearing a watch when I retired and began using a smartphone. I get the time from my bike display and usually keep the phone in my pocket when I ride rather than mounted on the bars. That way, I can call for help if I get separated from...

I have two Reention "dolphin" style batteries which use ST3 charge port connectors. I've now lost the rubber caps which cover the connector ports on both. They are made of flimsy rubber and are held on by a narrow flap which eventually breaks off. Replacements are available if you can find...

This has been discussed several times here on EBR but not recently. My brother was cited this week on the NJ Garden State Parkway because his empty Thule Helium bike rack partially obscured his rear plate. He had just dropped his bike off for service and was returning home when he was pulled...

My thanks to @PCeBiker who's post #63 on tool bags in the REAL bargains thread prompted me to post this. https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/real-bargains.52164/page-4 Have you ever needed something from your bike bag only to find it's on the very bottom and have to rummage around to...

There is currently a bill before the US congress to eliminate this twice per year time change: https://www.rubio.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/2023/3/rubio-reintroduces-bill-to-make-daylight-saving-time-permanent#:~:text=Ahead%20of%20Daylight%20Saving%20Time,changing%20clocks%20twice%20a%20year...

A lot has been posted here on what tools you carry but little on how & where you carry them. In my case, I've tried dozens of different tool carriers, boxes, bags and tool rolls over the years, some cheap and others not so much. I've carried them in rear rack bags, panniers, frame bags, under...

With all the "hate" being heaped on e-bike batteries lately, I've been experimenting with using the new high capacity cordless tool batteries as replacements: The Lithium types, which replaced the old Ni Cad's, have been around for a decade or so with very few reported incidents. This is...

I read recently of an arcing problem involving ATO/ATC type automotive fuses when used with voltages exceeding their 32V rating. The problem happens when the fuse blows and there is not enough open space between the fuse contacts to prevent higher voltage arcing. I don't know the specifics of...

Here's hoping everyone gets that bike or accessory they've always wanted and stays healthy enough to use it in the new year!
