I had a good Christmas, but I'm gutted I missed out on this party.
Let it be said that Petalumans know how to keep Christmas!This just posted to YouTube of the Holiday Bike Ride.
What we did was have a decorations exchange and decorating party the Saturday before. My lights from last year went to the mayor who then decorated his daughter's cargo bike. If you liked that one we also have a holiday boat parade. A friend has a place along the water and sells VIP seating tickets. Then it got swamped with crowds who brought their own chairs, putting them in front of the paying VIPs. Lines were 40 minutes deep to get food and drinks so it was all hands on deck with no one to enforce. She said it was nuts.lighting service
would imagine some day we can get Bluetooth controllers for our projects,I have a rough time routing wires through the frame, wonder if the harbor freight fiberglass wire running kit would work,love the motors with built in controllers am on the verge of stopping building bikes,the espin conversion worked out well, was rather difficult and I couldn't get most of the wires back in the frame,now I see why those companies use such crappy little wires and controllers,the recipient of the converted espin was happy anyway-so it goesI am converting a trike today and needed to confirm something from this video. This video shows the ugliest bike build I have ever seen. It starts when the build is almost finished. The wires! Now that is ugly. A rat's nest.

What I do is use brake cable. First I place a gentle bend into the leading end after checking the exact length. I run it out the hole using a wheel magnet. I build up the pull end with shrink tube and then connect it to the cable I am pulling with shrink tube. I lucked out on the trike. The pedals are forward of the seat tube and the bottom of the seat tube is open. So that is where I stuffed the extra wires, hidden in the middle of the trike. Gone just like magic.routing wires through the frame

Riots, absolutely — mostly over pickleball noise and whether or not trikes should be allowed on the greenbelt.Are flash mob riots a problem in retirement communities?
An ASCII emoji ... ;^} ... is still pretty newfangled for some of us ...Riots, absolutely — mostly over pickleball noise and whether or not trikes should be allowed on the greenbelt.
Flash mobs, no — way too newfangled, and we don't check our texts often enough.
