    Need a new name for The house spider I've been feeding?

    The Bold Jumping spider which is quite prolific here has really changed my mind about the beauty and character of spiders. I usually do catch and release with bugs and spiders unless they are beneficial. If you have pill bugs or rolliepollies, leave an Eastern Parson's spider in your home...

    Getting Molly grease off my Parka.

    A wise old shop teacher once said to me, "I know exactly how you feel, you know you're not stupid, you just can't prove it." Learned a new trick today, at least if you decide to work on your bike in your expensive down parka(please don't). My parka is your standard, polyester shell, down fill...

    I never agreed with Peta until today.

    OK, going to start out by saying that despite the fact I'm not a religious person, this man was still one of god's children and I don't support this kind of violence in anyway. Having said that, as someone who keeps falling through the cracks of the American "health care system" I fully...

    A quick adventure on reddit, where is my ect, as I would like to forget the experience.

    Really just went looking for Moth Bars, which I found, and a bunch of dumb assery as well. Anyway, I have two sets of moth bars on the way, one for my 70's stationary and one for my e bike that will be powder coated black to match. I find the lack of suspension, both on ebikes and bicycles to be...

    Excuse my heresy and please help, need advice from the fat tire crowd.

    I love my ebike, but I'm poor and need something that will work in the rain. While I intend to commence on another gas build, pardon the heresy, I would like everyone to give me their opinions on fat tires vs standard. I'm probably going with 26" wheels, this will be a road only bike with front...

    Tis better to have mirrors than not.

    New mirrors from walmart.com. This is not the configuration they will stay in once I upgrade to longer handlebars, but for now, they will do.

    Captain America, Tea Leoni from Spanglish, 2nd mod, and goodies...

    Well, No picks of newest mod, because you really can't see it, but man you can feel it! No new stem or handle bars till spring, so used the old wooden dowel trick to extend the handle bars about 3.5 inches out on both sides. Like I said, can't really see the difference, but oh is it so much...

    Rail trails, Back roads and a Tank

    High winds here today and didn't feel like getting sand blasted so skipped the beach and decided to take a leisurely cruise through the back roads and rail trail by my home. Back roads with very little traffic: A section of the Hart-Montague Rail Trail: The rail trail connects to a new...

    Putting her to the test

    Tomorrow I will hurt, but it was worth it. I live 5 miles from the western shore of Michigan /eastern side of Lake Michigan, but it's a 30 mile/48 kilometers round trip from my house. Made it to Silver Lake State Park and Little Sable point and back home again. Another 35 miles on the Vivi c26...

    Cursed by the E-bike gods

    Well, my Vivi C26 came today and everything is good except for one little problem.... front axle bolt too short by about an inch.... Heading out to local bike shop tomorrow because I don't want to wait 30 days for a stupid axle. Anyway, I'll post pics as soon as I get the the thing assembled.

    Do we have a Franken bike thread?

    Nature adores a freak, so do I. The good, the bad, the ugly or just plain weird.... Do we have a thread for pics of our beautiful uglies?

    New ADA thread.

    Disabled guy here. Unfortunately, Karens and Carls have abused the ada as badly as people with "service" animals that aren't canines(no shade to those with an emotional support animal of any species). Every Leo in my state including park rangers know the federal and state laws on ebikes and how...
