is this loud enough?

With the number of migrants entering Arizona, we encountered encampments frequently. Especially under highways. Difficult living, more so during cold nights. All ages including small children. And, these folks are not all migrants. One very large city park had to remove all porta-potties...

The EOY T3 sales were compelling, but also lost on me, although the driving experience is exhilarating. But so is driving my S2000. Daily drive now is Honda CRV Hybrid and am enjoying the ride. When my wife lets me drive it.

I enjoy and appreciate the “nice bike” comments but also genuinely try to reciprocate with a “cool bike” or similar in return. And I toss in a smile with the compliment. We all like to hear those words! Right?

I added the Bosch 500W Range Extender to my 2 favorite bikes and then swap the battery to whichever bike I am riding. That 500W added to the 725W RIB on board provides me with 60+ miles of flat-out Turbo, or 260 miles of weenie ECO.

A friend here and I took a road trip in my Honda CRV hybrid yesterday. He hadn’t driven a hybrid before so we chatted about several different features of such vehicles. However, I neglected to mention one feature that was although not unique to this vehicle, had at one time made me think, huh...

Yes, agree per rear rack that I adapted with an MIK rack adapter sold thru Giant. Once we (friends on EBR) figured out a solid mounting process I have been relatively pleased with the results. However, could be more attractive and easier to unclip from if Trek had used the same rack as they put...

Also consider taking off seats. Or cover them. Keep them dry? And plastic cable ties to keep your bike cables from unnecessary flapping in the wind. Definitely take batteries out. A rear-end bump could send them bouncing down the highway. We travel 1,800 miles cross country with no problems...

You are making good choices in bikes. I have purchased 7 Treks (5 e-bikes) in the past 4 years. My favorite in the Allant 7s ~9k miles. Recently bought an 8s that I will now keep at my AZ home. Another great bike. 1,400 miles this winter. I also have a Verve+3 that I have abandoned. My wife...

The basic Purion provides all of the necessary controls I require. The very first thing the Trek Tech who built my bike advised me was to never put my phone into the smartphone clamp as it is highly unreliable with most phones falling out. Whereupon I used large rubber bands in addition to the...

Today’s Gag Every Saturday morning our Resort biking group of 20+ regular riders assembles for an hour ride then a return to our Bistro for post-ride food & libations. Today, per a special request to our leader I was granted a few minutes of the pre-ride orientation time to share some new and...

Disappointed? Yes with Trek’s choice to put a ridiculous Bosch smartphone controller on their bikes. Changed mine immediately to the excellent Bosch Kiox 2. Who makes those poor decisions? Certainly not anyone who used the Smartphone controller.

My wife and I have 4 bikes all fitted with MIK adapters — which I have described earlier in this post. And also shared how I fitted the Giant MIK rear carrier onto my bike. Below are several of a collection of bags and baskets we have in duplicate for both of our bikes — that we swap daily...

It is true! I am as lazy as my wife claims that I am. I am coasting! And, very likely 40% of the time. The terrain around my AZ home is relatively flat. And the few hills provide invigorating high speed downhill coasts. (I don’t do off-road desert mountain biking any more. Too many flat tires...

I am 73 and have never found a need or desire for a throttle. Turbo — yes, of course. Class 3.

I have not seen any cadence graphing or logging data. Maybe I don’t know where to find it.

This is a new bike for me. 4months. And the bulk of the rides are with groups vs. solo. Average speeds 12-16mph with groups. 22-28mph solo. More detail from the Diagnostic Report: Odometer: 1,212mi Total operating time: 268 hrs Total active operating time (with assistance): 68 hrs Energy...

Today we had an opportunity to perform a diagnostic., et.al., evaluation of my newest bike at 1k miles. The Bosch Kiox (which I love) displayed “maintenance required” with every Start starting after 998 miles.. The diagnostic report included an anomaly that we — my LBS tech, and me — cannot...

There is nothing going on at Trek that isn’t happening with virtually every bike manufacturer. They are overstocked. You can find news articles re: this issue with minimal searches. FYI, I purchased an 8s and have passed 1K miles. Great bike, although I had Trek add $1K of mods before I picked...

… and will/or is the Volvo subjected to the latest sanctions levied against Chinese imports? And will it also be regulated as a Chinese cyber threat as recently suspected of Chinese autos? Maybe should be if not.
