Another recent trend I noticed is that most walkers and joggers now wearing headphones. I'm talking about those big, over-the-ear headphones that probably block out all external sounds. When you're on an active bike trail, this is not safe. Just the other day, I was approaching a jogger and...

Saw these guys yesterday: This is on some new trails that I found recently. Interesting story: I take my dogs up to these trails occasionally to do a walk. It's pretty quiet and not many people are around since it's far out from civilization. It's "country" as we like to say here in the...

Spotted this on the way home from a ride today: I think they pick up dog poop from your yard.

This might be a good example of what we're talking about. An "e-bike" that weighs over 200 lbs, can do over 50 mph and has a 200 mile range. He says it has a 60v, 80Ah battery, which seems insane. It's an impressive machine and looks extremely fun, but I think this guy is riding it in what...

Government overreach and tyranny. Taking someone's legally purchased and owned property and destroying it because they were riding recklessly is a bridge too far. I've seen governments do this with cars too.

I have a friend that bought a $550 e-bike and it goes pretty good for the money, but it's heavy and handles poorly. When I helped him put it together, we could not get the rear derailleur adjusted right, no matter what we did. There are some gears it just won't shift into and I'm not sure why...

I store all of my batteries in fireproof battery bags, even if they're from a reputable manufacturer and UL listed. This includes not only bike batteries, but I have yard equipment that uses some big batteries (like for a lawnmower and leaf blower). I also cover them while charging with a...

This is insane. Over here in the US, New Jersey just banned e-bikes from almost all bike trails and are now treating all classes of e-bike as motorcycles. Knee-jerk reaction and nanny state out of control. I sure hope this doesn't spread to other states. I will be beyond livid.

Just the other day, I was riding on the bike trail, doing about 22 mph when three kids riding those electric motorcycles blew past me at over 30 mph. They didn't give any warning or signal that they were passing and got way too close to me. What if at that moment I had to swerve to avoid debris...

For me I got an e-bike when they finally started making light, low powered gravel e-bikes a few years ago. I still wanted to get a good workout in, but I wanted to ride further, faster and more often, while also maintaining the handling of a lighter bike. Ride further: The area I live in has...

Weather is turning nice, especially today, so all the horses are coming out. The only thing is, the trail is kind of soft right now due to all the snow melting and some rain, so the horses make deep indentations that are very rough to ride over. Then there are the occasional horse pies...

It's like the thing is alive and is recovering from "surgery". 😬

So as of today, this issue seems to have fixed itself. Now the battery discharge settings are working like they should. They did not work on the past 3 rides, but today they're working. 🤔

Without fenders.

On my 4.0, there is a lot of clearance on the front. It's the rear that's narrower.

I have the Pirelli Cinturato Gravel RH in 45. I'm using them without fenders.

I had my bike serviced back in January and they updated the firmware. Now, it seems that the battery discharge settings don't stick anymore. I have a range extender battery that I like to use on both short and long rides. When I do a short ride of around 25 miles or less, I can do the whole...

I have Pirelli gravel tires in 45 on my Vado SL 4.0 and they fit fine with plenty of clearance. They have a noticeably softer and more compliant ride than the 38 Pathfinders. I just installed them about 6 rides ago and haven't been able to fully test them out on the dirt and gravel that I...

I'd totally try to jump that.
