this is sometimes an interesting look, updated people for bikes ratings of bike infrastructure in the US, Canada, and selected (not sure by what metric) other countries. of course the top five of any significant size in the US are all college towns, and the top two are in Northern California...

thinking about a small cargo bike to carry myself and a ±60lb child up steep hills. anyone have the 46er? seems like an interesting and very compact approach to the problem! another option is the specialized/globe haul st, but it's heavier, hub drive, battery not integrated, and maybe longer.

many here know that i consider the varia a must-have accessory for any cyclist, far more important than any other safety measure except the helmet. it is the only active safety measure available, changing it's very bright rear facing blinking light pattern in response to approaching cars...

https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2024/08/23/a-million-and-a-half-cyclists-67-turnouts-10-years-how-mt-diablo-embraced-safety-and-made-history/ nice article about the huge safety improvement that this relatively small change has made. i’ve done this climb a few times (not on an e-bike) and when...

looking for input from those who have the current vado with the MIK HD rear rack. specialized says it's good for up to 27kg (60lb.) it appears to attach only to the frame at the rear axle and the fender. how sturdy/stable is in the forward-back and side to side directions given the lack of a...

this is cool. 100+ miles of trails in tahoe forests opening up to class 1 e-bikes:

no love for TRP from me, but this integration with the powerhub is a fantastic idea. really gets close to the benefits of a 2x drivetrain without the drawbacks and extra bits. haven't heard what the rated torque of the hub is, but classified claims it can shift under 1,000 watts of load...

this is something i did a few times but never bothered recording or documenting. it’s too bad he didn’t try motor off on the smooth flats in the beginning, but you’ll see throughout the video that the creo power meter is high by 10-25%. i never found it to be off by quite that much, but the...

i posted my first thoughts on the addict eRide here https://forums.electricbikereview.com/threads/a-very-brief-review-of-a-new-bike-scott-addict-rc-eride.54647/ a while back; and the bike now has enough miles on it that i have it dialed in the way i like it! i also have more or less settled on a...

it's been a rough few months for me with major health challenges that have led me to mothball my acoustic road bike - an s-works aethos which is by far the best cycling experience i've ever had, by a longshot. but riding such a bike at a reasonable speed on the steep hills of san francisco and...

trigger warning, this is a personal post and while ebikes are central, it's not really about ebikes. i was always a pretty athletic person; i swam competitively as a child and young adult, ran track, and did long distance running in my early 30s for fun. while i rode bikes for convenience i...

love the new passing law, although i can see some blowback from it. i have never heard of a local jurisdiction requiring bike registration, but i guess i’m glad that there’s now a state law presenting some a-hole towns from doing so 😂

who knew the creo would be such a gateway drug to cycling! today i hit 10,000 miles since i took up cycling more seriously in the early days of 2021. 6,000 of those miles on a creo, 500 on a commuter/errand/kid hauling hub drive that i initially also rode for fun, and 3500 on a regular no motor...

spent some time zooming around my strava heat map just now, and it's really impressive how accurate mobile positioning is these days. these are from around 10k miles of riding, and in several cases these are probably hundreds of tracks in the same place... you can see u-turns, taking one side of...

https://apple.news/AnN_TqcH5QpCX9Ixg_9RwzA this actually seems like a pretty ingenious solution - and at only 6.6lb the average person could easily toss it into their bag before and after use. motor driven replacement rotor:

great deal! these wheels are perfect for the creo, light, strong, wide...

https://www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/news/china-camp-e-bicycle-fatal-crash-san-rafael-sherman-wayne-chen/ we'll probably never know the full story behind what happened to this poor gentleman, but there's no denying that e-bikes allow people to ride places they would not otherwise be able to...

changed out my slightly frayed bar tape (from a minor fall). took two tries on each side to get it sort of the way i wanted it, which was mostly about not having to use electrical or finishing tape at the top part. it's got a bit of a bulge up there, which actually feels pretty good when on the...

this guy literally just rolled up on the sidewalk and parked his huge bike/trailer partially in a parklet and blocking 3/4 of the sidewalk. and we wonder why so many people dislike or distrust cyclists!
