    How long have you been riding a bicycle?

    The recent thread about riding with no hands got me to thinking about all the miles and all the hours that have been ridden by the members of this forum. I know there are some tuff ol' birds here... so... I did a search and couldn't find any thread that was similar. If, like me, you've had a...

    Homemade. Show us your stuff!

    I've been a DIY guy for a long time and that trait followed me when I got into ebikes. I'm not opposed to "factory made" but many times I find I can make something similar. Sometimes I can make it cheaper, sometimes I can make it better, and sometimes it's neither better nor cheaper🙄 and...

    New addition.

    This is the newest addition to the fleet. It's a used 2020 Specialized Turbo Como 4.0 Low-Entry 650B. Odometer showed 190 miles and I couldn't find much wrong with it except the stupid waxy goop on the drive train, walk mode is wonky and doesn't give a consistent speed which I find could be...

    Hi from south Portland

    This is a REPOST, I edited my original post, hit save and that post vanished into cyberspace? :( I've been messing around with electric bikes for a decade or so, was away from the scene for a few years and have started riding again. I've been in the PNW not quite two years and in my area...
