Guess this is self explanatory (aimed at the non-horsey types that like to stop on the road to pet random horses)

Just as a forward- in a different thread, I've mentioned, a time or two, that I had adopted 8 miles of local road (through Virginia Dept of Transportation's Adoption program) and thus pick up litter quite often during my rides. Today, about 1 1/2 miles from home, as I was scooting down a lovely...

I don't know why this intrigued me, but... during a recent bike ride around the block I noticed this poor battered truck which I hadn't seen the last time I'd cruised my local road. It had been placed in the upper parking area of a local farm's driveway, I'm guessing for the eventual last ride...

So...a M3? Sweet car. Your brother needs to try out FSD at least once. It's free right now. Who knows if a trial like that will ever come around again.

A deputy, actually. Curious to hear the rest of your tale, you scofflaw you.

Yup. The mountain views, slope of the road, and the estate lands are at their best when riding Rokeby to Delaplane. Not as scenic going the opposite way. Delaplane is a beautiful road from start to finish, and a fast ride thanks to it being paved. The initial climb up the Blue Ridge towards...

You were brave to test your endurance against that terrific wind yesterday. Just watching the local trees bend and gyrate their heavy thick trunks in the wind like they were made of flexible putty was unnerving at best, and downright scary when the winds screamed. I was actually out today when...

@RabH - was thoroughly enjoying your story of your ride...until I read about the abuse hurled at you from those motorists after you were so kind in pulling off to give the entire road to the old lady. ☹️ I'm glad the rest of your ride was beautiful and enjoyable. I haven't been contributing...

Right now the only way to become independent using solar is to have a battery - like a Tesla power wall or a battery from a junked electric car repurposed for storing the solar energy for use when needed - tied into the house's main electric At the moment we have solar panels (we're Net Zero...

Good luck trying them out. I'm sure you'll love the torque and the quiet. Let us know how it goes!

I have two carbon belt drive Gazelle 380+ (28 mph assist). One is a 2022, and the other is a 2023. I wanted a maintenance free, no fuss, easy to ride bike made by a well known company that produced a quality product, plus I wanted a carbon belt drive so that I didn't have to deal with...

I could interpret that in sooooooooo many ways! Thanks for the laugh!

Sorry. Forgot the international scope of this forum. Yeah, Rivian is still US based, and I assume will be for quite some time. It is 6 inches (15.1 cm) longer than the Ranger, but shorter than an F150. Supposedly a Tesla Model X can tow 5,500 lbs.

There is. It's a Rivian. My R1T can pull 11,000 lbs. (Apparently 1,000 lbs more towing capacity than a Ford Lightening)

I envy you not having to make any more trips to the gas station. I still have to go for gas and diesel for the small and large tractors. Sucks that battery garden tractors and zero turns still aren't ready for prime time beyond the suburban landscape. For farm use they just aren't capable as...

LOL!!! That comment is too funny for words.😄 Not too long ago I'd get the funny looks and the teasing (ohhhh, that's cheating! Har-har) about my ebike, but all I get now is "how do you like your ebike?", "who made it?", and "what range do you get?" Other cyclists are recognizing my ebike on...

And you trusted this guy? My experience with salesmen says they often know squat about anything, including the cars on the dealership lot. They are the best spreaders of misinformation alongside social media. Saw a big ol' boxy Kia SUV van plugged into the free Level 2 charging unit at the...

PedalUma - that's a very pretty staged photo. Very interesting , too, since a pair put to a wagonette isn't supposed to be coachman driven as this photo implies. It's a sporting vehicle that is supposed to be owner driven. The leather top (used for bad weather) behind the driver's seat is a dead...

Rome said: Never went to Key West Florida. If there local government can ban ebikes they are serious about safety I wonder what the consequences for drunk ebike riding and you kill a flamingo or pelicans. I'm guessing the above post was erased or changed, but just in case folks are wondering...
