The Idaho Stop law was enacted in the 80's and allows cyclists to treat a red light as a stop sign and a stop sign as a yield. About a dozen states have enacted one or both of these. I am working to enact it here in New Hampshire and I am curious about your opinion for or against it. Also any...

Each mark is one day this season biking to work, about 10 miles round trip plus noon lunch runs or errands. Tomorrow is in the teens in the morning so we'll see how motivated I feel in the morning...

EDIT: There's many good ideas for special cold weather clothing but I want to wear normal office clothes while commuting and have something easy to wear on top. I have zip off wind pants but even that gets tedious twice a day. The idea of the greaves, a windproof shield I could attach with a...

So the Schwalbe "Energizer" (??) tires are fine for commuting. But on weekends I like to do rail trails with some gravel, etc. Compared to the Vado 4 tires that went over gravel much better these seem to kick the rocks to the side or the wheel will jump a little. I would like to get something...

I mostly commute 10 miles rt on my Gazelle 380+ (Class 3) and I almost always run TURBO (the highest boost 4 of 4) on the road. In the morning I might let the bike do more work so I don't arrive sweaty and in the evening I will give normal effort and generally average between 20 and 25 MPH...

I had a clunk in the drive after I was coasting to make a turn and then started pedaling again when turning. I didn't see anything wrong when I stopped and noticed the tension is a little more slack than I remember it was. I bought this about 10 days ago and I have about 200 miles on it now...

I got a 380+ last week and it has developed a creaking sound when pedaling. I have just under 100 miles now, I started noticing it a few days ago maybe around the 50 mile mark. I see this is common on various bikes for various reasons and I had a similar problem on an old Trek but not as loud...

I wasn't sure where to post this since it is about 2 bikes but figured here is where it might help the most people. I wrote this on my blog at http://volcano.newts.org/2022/07/18/specialized-vado-4-vs-gazelle-ultimate-380/ where I will be updating with pics and new observations as they come...

The shop gave me a free Gazelle baseball cap. I rarely wear caps and figured someone else would enjoy it more. It is a dark Navy blue better than average cap with Gazelle embroidered on it. The first person who can pick it up in Nashua NH can have it or if no takers then I will mail it (US only).

I really didn't want to have to worry about the key, either having with me to bike or take it with me when I leave the bike. Having to leave the key in while riding is a big misfeature. If I use my cable lock and forget to take the key the someone could A) lock the bike and steal the key and...
