Just left Amsterdam after a couple of days. Not sure if it's Amsterdam or all of the Netherlands, but I heard there are 850,000 bikes there. I can believe it's just Amsterdam. There are bikes everywhere! I took a requisite canal tour where they said in a recent year they fished 18,000 bikes...

Yesterday I helped release a bike from a ULock. The key was lost and the bike needing freeing. I've cut steel with my cordless DeWalt grinder before but never a lock, let alone a fairly heavy duty U Lock. I thought maybe the lock would be made of some kind of titanium alloy or something that...

I'd like to find some bike riding software something like Strava but that doesn't require connecting to the cloud and sharing information with Big Brother and everyone else. Also, I really don't care where anyone else has ridden before or how many calories they burned. Not sure whether I just...

Has anyone studded their tires for snow and ice? There are studs you can buy that screw into regular tires. Many bike tires are too thin, I'm sure for these things to work without puncturing the tire. That's part of the reason for my question. I have 26 x 4 Kenda Juggernauts, w/ knobs. I...

Is there any such thing? I would think it might work pretty well with the proper setup. Not so much for going up Filbert St in San Francisco, but there would be a lot of practical applications for a decent sized bike, like a Rad Rover. TT

Put new tires on my Rad Rover yesterday, after about 1900 miles. I should have rotated the tires a while back I guess. The rear was almost slick but the front still had a good bit of tread. Anyway, it was the first time I had the rear wheel off. I had one flat on it that I was able to patch...

2019 Rad bikes are $200 off right now, plus you get a free accessory, while they last. TT

The RadRover uses an EMC Z7 chain. I've got enough miles on my bike I wouldn't mind having a spare chain on the shelf. I'm comfortable working with chains but I know next to nothing about chain sizes. I'm wondering what other chains are compatible. I have no complaints about the EOM EMC but...

Does anyone have anything to say about using an 85 cm long Abus Bordo GRANIT X Plus 6500 with a RadRover? In particular, is it long enough to go around the rear tire, frame, and a post? TT

I'm thinking of getting specialty bike insurance for theft and liability, basically. My question is what kind of experiences have people had when filing claims with various companies? Who makes you happy or mad that you chose their company? Like most insurance, I hope never to need it, but my...

I won't name names but I got two quotes from fairly prominent insurance companies that specialize in bike insurance. I chose identical coverages, deductibles, etc., and the two quotes came back within a couple of dollars of each other. I have a pretty good idea of the coverage I want and don't...
