    Deaf Riders

    It's a great improvement for your friend and I'm glad you were able to find a solution! Sad to say, I encounter many folks, both walking and riding, who are effectively "deaf" due to wearing headphones and earbuds. In many ways, just as dangerous as being truly deaf.

    People for Bikes: Progress on Ebike Laws in the US

    All it will take in any state is to have a politician looking to make a name for him or herself. They will take advantage of an e-bike related death and jump on the anti e-bike bandwagon just like they did in NJ..

    WHAT!?

    Nothing new. the idea has been discussed by previous administrations. Just as scary now though.

    Must carry tools: what are yours?

    You can do it with a conventional bike too. :) Would be tough to pedal though.

    People for Bikes: Progress on Ebike Laws in the US

    Lots of flaws, and situations that were not thought through with that NJ law. I live across the border in PA and often ride trails in NJ. Not anymore. My brother, who lives in NJ, replaced his motorcycle with an e-bike. He uses it for running errands and to get around the heavy traffic where he...

    I finally took my ebike for a test ride.

    You could add a third motor with a front wheel hub drive. 😁 I considered using a front wheel hub as a second motor on my rear hub bike. It would act as a spare, but I'd do it mostly for something to cobble on. :)

    Must carry tools: what are yours?

    It depends on where I'm riding. I always carry my phone with AAA and Uber apps as well as cash. Credit cards aren't always accepted. For remote area rides, I carry quite a few of the items listed above. I also carry a Garmin Inreach satellite communicator that has true global coverage.

    Offset Saddle Adapter

    The pictures I've seen show the break at or near the bend where it flexes the most. Odds are far less likely a break will occur using a short straight piece of it. As I said earlier, I weigh 250 and have had no issues with mine in +/- 1K miles. At my weight, I wouldn't trust using it as a spring.

    Offset Saddle Adapter

    It appears the product is being sold under several brand names. Mine was from Gorix, but it looks exactly the same.

    Offset Saddle Adapter

    I bought one with the Gorix logo which was discontinued, but it's the same product. Most of the bad reviews I read were due to the bounce.

    Offset Saddle Adapter

    I see Amazon stopped selling the Gorix product here in the US due to a high number of returns. It's still available elsewhere though.

    Make do with what you have

    Right now, I don't have to use my smoke house. I can just hang my food on the clothesline with all the wildfire smoke. :)

    Canada is going to be very unpopular if the FIFA world cup championship has to be rescheduled. Not looking good in NY. Is it a plot to get the game moved to Toronto in the fall? 😁
