Depends on your particular bike. On mine, I have a levered through-axle which makes it easier to remove the rear wheel. Not quite as easy as the quick release skewers, but easier than having to carry a tool to unbolt the wheel. Even if yours is bolted on, just pick up a compact multi-tool, or...

My numbers: Bike: 2017 EVO Cross; 500w motor; 48v 500wh battery; adjustable stem giving me a more upright riding position (bad back) Me: 6'6", 270 pounds (I'm not fat, I'm big boned :rolleyes:) Cargo: Topeak Explorer rack and matching MTX bag with ~10 pounds of clothing, food, and miscellaneous...

Thanks for the info @J.R. I just bought myself a 2017 EVO Cross and am planning on riding it year-round here in Colorado as a commuter. We don't get too many downpours but it's nice to know I don't have to take shelter under a bridge every time it sprinkles. :D

I've got such a big noggin (something like 68-70cm) that nearly all bicycle helmets don't fit me. Best I could do was get a Bell XLV a few years ago, and even then I had to cut and modify the strap system to give me more room. I'm tall and I have a long head and the helmet perches up there in...

Great write-up! Thank you for taking the time to share it with us. You are indeed hardy to tackle riding in these conditions. I bike commute during the wintertime down here in Colorado, but my personal rules of thumb are: Temperature must be above 25 (and, frankly, the older I get, the...

Another "trying to save up to get an ebike soon" guy here. At the moment, I ride a 100% leg-powered Trek 7100 to and from work (about 20 miles round trip, 90% on paved paths). Obviously this substantially cuts down on my driving. I still use the car to get groceries and run errands, mostly...

You might enjoy this site: http://thebestbikelock.com/ They seem to know what they're talking about. They speak highly of the Abus line of locks, as other posters here have pointed out. The problem with bike security, of course, is that you can get super-secure chains that are almost...
