    Metro Rear Spoke

    I bought my Magnum Metro last fall and have just under 800 miles on it. Last month I had a rear tire spoke break...presumably from coming off a low curb too fast/hard...at least that was the only thing I could think of....husband also has a Metro and we ride together a lot he has had no such...

    E bike Cover For Highway Travel

    Tested the cover out for a bit today. On the interstate doing 70+mph for about an hour....seemed to hold up well. Unfortunately we had to take it off because there was a noticeable drop in fuel mileage...we estimated it around 30% drop in mpg (2019 Ford F150). My husband said it felt like a...

    Bike Trailer

    How is it for stability? Some of the reviews I've read have had trailers tip over (presuming on turns/curves) .

    Bike Trailer

    Finally got the Magnum Metro last month and have been using it as much as possible. Only problem is dog gets left behind. I want to get a bike trailer to take him along....he's a 45lb lab mix (good medium sized dog). Anyone have a recommendation on what kind of bike trailer to look for?

    Bike Wheel Locking Nuts

    Actually, this is the set-up I'm looking at...folding lock to get frame and a tire...if possible. Haven't settled on which bike I want to buy but narrowing it down to 3 or 4. Don't know if the hexlox is necessary or not....seems bikes are stolen in my area are targets of opportunity (small...

    Driftless Biker

    I live in western WI...right along the Mighty Mississippi where we have some great bike trails. I've ridden traditional bikes recreationally for years and as I get older I find knees not liking hills and have looked at ebikes as a perfect solution to staying active. My husband and I as also...

    Bike Wheel Locking Nuts

    Thanks for the input. I'm probably overthinking it...ebikes haven't caught on here yet (although I did see one the other day!) so I doubt the local thugs know that to look for yet....they seem to steal what they can get easy.

    Bike Wheel Locking Nuts

    I live in a low crime area and want to bike downtown for shopping, errands, enjoying local cuisine, etc. I don't think I would need to leave a bike longer than 2 hours. I was thinking of using things like the Pinhead locking skewers and a decent u-lock and/or chain. Has anyone had experience...
