After more than a half century of vadoing investing never reached the point where I’d get lost if I could still move.
I was exaggerating for comedic effect, but more than a few a few times after spacing out, I realized that I didn't know where I was.
I came up to a highway that I wasn't expecting to cross and realized that I forgot to turn earlier.
I didn't miss the turn, I completely forgot that I was supposed to turn.

After more than a half century of vadoing investing never reached the point where I’d get lost if I could still move.
I remember when I was around 17 years old in 1981 riding with my brother-in-law in his car.
He showed up unexpectedly to take me somewhere and I had just gotten stoned.
I had to hide the fact that I was stoned, so I had to go with him because if I said No, he'd ask why and I wouldn't know what to say.
I wasn't driving so I figured that I'd be fine.
Everything was good for about 20 minutes and we were in the middle of a conversation, when I spontaneously forgot what the Hell we were talking about.
Right in the middle of an intense conversation about something.
I Panicked and sat quietly in my seat and said nothing for what felt like half an hour, then my brother-in-law FINALLY Spoke again and what he said reminded me of what we were just talking about and I could relax, but my heart was still racing.
If I got caught being stoned, I'd be in BIG Trouble !! POT IS ILLEGAL !!
It's all legal now, I grow my own, and I'm far less paranoid.
But I still get lost.

No,. It got my mind and shut it down.
The mind controls the tongue and everything else, so everything shut down.
But I didn't actually
myself.

Running in the morning is great. The sun is still low and not burning down on me. There is also less traffic so I might see deer. Yesterday morning, there was a deer on our street. I startled it when I came down my driveway. We were both surprised by each other. I watched her as she walked towards me. She came a few steps closer, but then darted off. Got in 4.9 miles yesterday. Felt great!
Here are some other stats.

I’ve thought about that, but many are wearing earbuds and I doubt they would hear me, unless I use my horn. Also, I notice most people are out on a ride for enjoyment. Why make it a competition? Though, it would be fun to try to race a rad bike with 3 kids on it. They might be game.

I highly suspect that my boss is gifting me a Vado 4.0 as a bonus. He asked me today if I like the red or the black better. I told him that the candy apple red with clearcoat is stunning, but that classic black is always in style and is easy to sell. We have been selling so many new eBikes. Totally amazing new factory bikes are going for like $1800 with German Brose mid-drives, nice hydro brakes, and even Gates belts for a little more. An R&M style bike with the all the features in 2021-22 now goes for $2K pro assembled with local service. Those were almost 6 Grand! It is so funny that I may be riding a Vado to work everyday. It is like that geriatric mock metal band, Ironknee.

My friend is in the market for a cheaper than Specialized bike; whaddya got in Petaluma as we are nearby?
Assist, with quality drivetrain, not throttle.

Go to Ride1Up and look at the mid-drive XC bikes with 90Nm Brose motors just like Specialized, but for $1800. Belt option. Aaron at the shop could order one and have it built by a pro for the same money as direct to consumer. Your friend would have right of first refusal on the bike after a test ride. If it arrived damaged in shipping, that would not be your friend's problem. If he is tall we can cut a deal on a 80Nm mid Tenways with the suspension fork. It is matte black and has R&M features. It will sell for below online. The Tenways have a Euro/Dutch approach for commuters who want to do some paths and trails. It fits somewhere between Gazelle and Specialized in look, feel, components, and finish.

Thanks.
How do those single speed belt drives work on the actual road as I find the gears on the 5.0 SL a must.
My motorcycle has a belt, (B&W F800ST) and I do like the concept but it has gears.
Nice looking bikes though.

The belt goes to a single speed cog that is attached to the side of an internal hub of gears. Some have fluid inside with no service needed ever on the hub. Some are 8-Sp or 5-Sp Shimano that are eBike specific. You get a wide range of gears with no noise, smooth shifting, and low maint.
