    Have you seen a U.F.O while biking?

    Every couple of days, there is a news report about UFOs. I've never seen it on myself. And it's odd to me that the pictures are always grainy and out of focus, even Military Photos. How could this be? When I was a kid, a friend showed me how to use a skillet pan lid and fake a picture with a...

    Off Bike Topic -- Have you heard of the "Ganzflicker Experience"

    A visual flicker is known to induce "Ganzfeld imagery" (Allefeld et al., 2011; Sumich et al., 2018), a type of visual pseudo-hallucination. The continuous flicker facilitates visual imagery, but does not induce any permanent changes in the brain and does not elicit actual hallucinations. I am...

    Triage or Emergency Medical Kit for biking Recommendation?

    After my last crash, smash knee bash, I considered having a better safety plan. Not only for me but for anyone I come across. I'm looking at this Med Kit, the Waterproof IFAK 163 Pieces Portable First Aid Kit. For $15, it's not too large at 8.27 x 5.12 x 1.97 inches and a bright visible case...

    Cannondale VS Trek -- These E-Bikes are almost the same?

    I'm a happy Trek Allant+ 7s owner, It's interesting how these two manufacturers' products line up. I know there are the RADs, Pedego & others out there, but I limited it to what's near me and frankly, Pedego bikes do not appeal to me. If you're researching bikes, this is good to know...

    E-Bike Fires I came across this link from last year. This made me think, “I should think carefully about charging”. I guess, one good practice is to buy from reputable manufacturers, not a China Knock Off. And the the obvious, inspect for frayed wires on bike and charger. Try not to drop...

    Flat Out Tire, Slime or the Dart System, Armor-Dilloz. What’s the best Tire Sealant?

    Flat Out Tire Sealant: I did a quick forum search but couldn't find a post for this product. I watched a few YouTubes, and this looks pretty impressive. Amazon can't be trusted because there are so many fake reviews. Redit has some comments. But I can only trust EBR. Is this a hoax? Has...

    "LatchIt Rack" looks great tailgate option Trucks, Anyone Try It?

    Latchitrack, I can't find reviews on this product. It looks like a great carrier for those who own trucks. It's light and utilizes the truck's tailgate locking points. What I love about it is your tailgate is down, which should reduce scratches and save some space in the bed. Ice chest...
