Looking at buying a new Tern GSD, but am worried about lower clearance. I keep my bicycles inside and would need to regularly roll the bike over a set of 2 concrete steps. Given the small tires and length of the GSD, I am wondering if this would scrape the bottom of the motor or other...

In addition to adding the 3-class system, this bill also adds restrictions to eBikes. Previously, local municipalities could not restrict eBikes, with a few exceptions: New bill allows local municipalities to restrict Class 3 eBikes and all eBikes on unpaved trails (eMTB). This could mean...

I recently got to meet the head of St. Paul Parks, who was under the belief eBikes were not allowed on bike trails in St. Paul parks because the were motorized vehicles. So I had to show him these statutes. MN State Statute 160.263, Subdivision 2(b): A governing body may not prohibit or...

Finally lost my cap after three years. Bound to happen sooner or later.

"Investigators say the fire was accidentally started when gasoline was used to clean an e-bike. Damage estimate is $60,000." https://blackburnnews.com/windsor/windsor-news/2018/08/05/reginald-st-blaze-ruled-accidental/

Yeah, the wires were pretty tough to decouple. Guessing they corrode making them sticky. Glad you got it to work. Hope you enjoy your new seat post :)

Have you recently done anything to the rear brake rotor?

Sounds like a good kit @Brambor! I used my Turbo X all last winter. Excited for this new season with my Turbo Levo Fat to see if it can successfully fill in the gaps during big snow events. Keep riding!

Certainly cheaper options out there. Clothing is probably the biggest variable in terms of what will work for some and not for others. Budget, notwithstanding. I am a tall skinny rail with next to 0% body fat. Cold air cuts through me like a knife.

Having a place to put extra layers (backpack/pannier) is a good tip. Especially during fringe weeks where it tends to be really cold in the morning and warmer in the afternoon. I still haven't tried bar mitts, personally, but like the idea. Now that I own a fat bike, this season, I may want them...

When I created this post I had two Garmin Virb Elites. You can see where I mounted them in this pic: I've recently switched to GoPro Hero 4 Sessions due to their small size.

Winter weather already here in Minnesota. Hope you all get a chance to take at least one cold-weather ride this season.

Thanks. I do have a friend with a 3D Printer. Might have to see if he can make something up.

Wanted to change out the seat on my 2015 Turbo X, but wasn't sure what to do with the tail light. Figured out you can mount it to the seat rail mount provided with the rear reflector. The screw holes match up. I only have mine set with zip ties until I can find screws and nuts to mount it...
