    Got Called a "Cheater" by Another Cyclist

    This has happened to me a couple times, but I just dismiss it as who knows, who cares.

    Group Riding with Traditional Gravel Cyclists on E-Bike (dilemmas)

    I stopped doing motorcycle group rides awhile ago, but this was commonplace in those group rides as well. It was advertised as "C" pace (newbie friendly) on moderate routes (avoiding the highly technical roads and/or sections). Folks would show up who are "A" riders. Inevitably, those in the...

    Husqvarna ebikes??????

    If that is true, watch out. KTM is notorious for building some serious dirt and street bikes. I used to own one. Isn't their company motto "Ready to race"?

    would this work for anti theft?

    I'd prefer to see what the manufacturers can do regarding anti-theft/security at the factory. Owners will always come up with ideas on how to deal with security be it locks, immobility devices, sound alarms, motion sensors, Bluetooth monitoring, etc. Thieves are creatures of opportunity. When...

    Average age of EBR riders

    The human body is not perpetual. Nor is it perfect. As we get older, we become less and less mobile and more prone to injury and take much longer to heal after an injury. Your heart is no longer able to withstand sustained stresses of high impact workouts. These are not choices you get to make...

    Surface 604 Rook question.

    Not well I don't think, especially if there are moderate climbs, where the smaller 38 tooth crank on the Shred will be easier to tackle inclines. Also, the Rook has commuter tires (vs true mtb tires) that run too high air pressure for trail use and along with that the bars are set too high for...

    What are your cold weather ebike limits?

    We're kind of in a heatwave here in the Bay Area. About 70 yesterday and continues for the next few days before cool down to 64 by the weekend. Riders are out in force taking advantage of clear blue skies and plenty of sunshine. Seeing more ebikes than I ever have, so the ebike movement is...

    2021 Quad and/or 2021 Shred Reviews or Feedback?

    The reviews are finally starting to come in on the Shred (2021 version) Not really much difference between last years model that I can tell except a thru axle on the front But still, an awesome ebike for the money. Almost always get compliments on it.

    COSTCO Is Now Selling A Name Brand Ebike

    Interesting. I was at Costco last week, but did not see this. I will be on the lookout next trip. This is a positive step in the right direction. With Spring around the corner, this item could move very quickly. Hopefully, a couple others will follow suit.

    Do you wear a mask when you ride?

    Your soon gonna start having much bigger problems then that. The damage covid-19 has had on the economy is not getting talked about. Both at the state and local levels. Savings are exhausted. There are eviction moratoriums, states are in financial distress, businesses are on the brink, high...

    The Green Room

    IMO, we can just barely keep up with demand in the summer as-is. And that is with purchasing "dirty energy" from out of state generators, and now this? I get what California wants to do, but if climate change is as real as science tells us it is, the demand for energy over the summer and fall...

    At Least Florida is taking Major Steps to stop Big Tech Censorship

    And as "products" we are quite profitable and valuable. You are not the customer, correct. But you too, are not the owner of your content. The platform is. They have it and your rights surrounding it are highly limited. Goes back to this: They need us.

    Modern Germany is being governed a polar 180 from what Hitler envisioned. No one has forgotten history.

    At Least Florida is taking Major Steps to stop Big Tech Censorship

    Again. No one company should ever have so much control over so many. America is the land of the free. No one has the right to take that away from us unless we allow them to. Churches still stand. Religious beliefs still stand. They have not bowed down to big tech. We have an active pandemic, so...

    At Least Florida is taking Major Steps to stop Big Tech Censorship

    Yes they are. No wonder Andy Jassy (AWS President) was chosen as Jeff's successor. AWS is powerful. No doubt about that. AWS is the undisputed king........for now. You are incorrect however that you can silence conservative voices just because AWS said so.

    At Least Florida is taking Major Steps to stop Big Tech Censorship

    That is quite correct. I wish more conservative users would deplatform facebook/twitter instead of the other way around. They need us far more then we need them. I do hope, in time, that conservatives will realize that.

    At Least Florida is taking Major Steps to stop Big Tech Censorship

    Social Media is a choice. Just because you shut down conservative viewpoints does not mean you make them disappear. Why have you allowed Fox News to be on the air if you feel this way?

    Our Rides in Words, Photos & Videos

    Agree. Went out for a quick 10 mile ride yesterday, in shorts and a tshirt. It was sunny and very warm. Today, well off to cold cloudy start.

    Do you wear a mask when you ride?

    Same here. I don't see anyone wear masks when riding.
