    Yates officially out with a concussion - no surprise at all. Jay Vine has had a rough season more crashes than finishes so far.

    Ugh, I didn't need to see that replay

    Street Registration Question

    Yeah, I think you're in a catch-22 situation. There isn't a clear process for these e-motos that were never sold as vehicles for use on public land. The WA legislature started a working group this spring to address rules and regulations for e-motos but it will be 2028 before anything is in...

    If you're a new user responding to a 6 1/2 year old thread that only has 2 responses, you're probably a bot. If your post in said thread has little or nothing to do with the subject of the thread(other than you pull a phrase out of the original post and semi randomly use it in your post) and...

    I suggest everyone take the opportunity to test the ignore function by ignoring the obvious bots and their spam posts.

    This post reminded me of our own 24hr vending machine down at the marina. Not the best pic, but it is the only vending machine I know of where you can get squid AND Junior Mints out of the same machine! 2 weeks ago, the breakwater was covered in lounging seals and sea lions. I guess I was...

    User Selectable E-Bike Class.

    That is not universaly true. In my state, you can modify between class 1, 2, and 3 as long as you permanently affix the correct sticker. If the device is able to be set to an off road mode, then it is excluded from the definition of an eBike in the first place no matter what mode the user...

    Vietnamese iced coffee is the way to have that No. 1 Moka! Stefan - you seem to have bad luck with electronic shifting. Is SRAM up next?

    Show us pictures of where you ride your ebikes!

    Yes, probably Probably. I can still still count on my hands the number of e-motos I've seen in our little downtown. They are a little more common up in the residential neighborhoods. I would have no problem with banning all bikes since it is a walking exercise path. No reason for anyone...

    Show us pictures of where you ride your ebikes!

    Yeah, we have a similar sign in our park. Weirdly, only restricting ebikes on the walking track surface. I guess ebike tires are harder on the track than bike tires? I bet your sign has as shaky a legal footing as the one in my town. Ours references a city code that prohibits motor...

    Jonas has never ridden the Giro, so if he wins he will be only the 8th cyclist to win all 3 Grand Tours. Not sure who UAE will add with Almeida ruled out. I guess they go with Adam Yates for GC. The field should be pretty wide open if something happens to Jonas. Pelizzari, Carapaz, Gall...

    Battery Display Settings

    Yeah, not a fan of bar indicators either - you never know how accurate they are. Glad my bikes have a remaining range display. It's really quite accurate as long as the terrain and riding are consistent. I'd imagine most people get used to whatever measurement is available to them.

    TQ V04 Color Display

    TQ has really good integration with Di2/AXS drop bar shifters and I think the screen toggling can be assigned to the extra button that nearly all modern dropbar brifters have. Not sure if Stomp's Di2 shifter has an extra button, but if it's not compatible it's probably more of a Shimano problem...

    Mostly the usual cast of characters, but this might be the first mer-panda I've seen.

    He got a little overshadowed by Lipowitz's emergence at the TdF, but Pelizzari getting top 6 finishes in two Grand Tours last year as a 21 year old was pretty impressive. I hope he gets a chance to shine at the Giro. I kinda get the feeling if he doesn't break out this year he could wind up...

    The display looks nice. You can cycle the screens with the handlebar remote too, right?

    Had a nice ride through the U District. Spotted a couple garage door squatches and 2 nice murals 1 of which was new to me.

    We had hail and thunderstorms yesterday. Today started off gray and damp in the mid thirties, but turned into this just in time for me to get out of work early and enjoy the afternoon.
