Show us pictures of where you ride your ebikes!

Late Sunday afternoon ride. Forecasters said no rain and the sun doesn’t set until 10pm this time of year.

At the gate I had to go back for half a mile and found a way out of the forrest and across that big road behind the gate.
Continued about 3 miles after last photo but then it suddely started to rain and I decided to go back home. I was wet and a bit cold because my rain gear is not good any more. Had about 13 miles home but luckily the rain stopped after 20 minutes.
35 miles altogether.

105 km today. I have 6500 km in 7.5 months on this bike now. 30/85 degrees today means riding along the water and in the shade as much as possible for me. pic 1= Ironworkers memorial bridge. It got the name after one side collapsed during construction , killing 18 men. My uncle was working on the bridge that day, but as luck would have it he was on the side that stayed up. 2 Kitsalano beach .UBC Gardens. River district. Path through my shade garden.

A bonus ride for me today as the forecast was pretty horrendous, I was expecting to wake to wet roads and was surprised to see it was actually dry! Another look at the forecast and its still showing rain virtually all day, looking at the sky I had my doubts but decided to wait until later just in case. Thankfully the rain stayed away and I had a very enjoyable 40 mile ride in almost perfect conditions:D 200 miles for the month now, it should help me reach my target for the year all going well:)

Summer in the city.
Needed a new spare tube as I had a puncture and changed a tube two days ago. Rode to a bike shop late this afternoon. It’s only 2.5 miles away but on sunny summer evenings I don’t like to go home and be inside so I took the long way home. Not many miles but I got 13 nice miles on the trip meter instead of just 5. And had dinner at a friendly little restaurant near my office. ( I don’t go to the office often any more)

Riding home Saturday night after having spent afternoon with friends helping setting up a small pergola and being treated with dinner. They live approx. 20km (12miles) south west from me.
I started my ride home at about 10.30 pm and took the pictures at 11.10 (7.5km from home) This time of year the sun sets around 22 pm and stays below horizon for about 5 1/2 hour. First pic is looking SSE and second NNW.

While test riding this Trek Dual Sport Plus I came across this herd of goats. Found out later the goats are used for vegetation control instead of chemicals and repeated mowing. The temporary fence is moved every so often.
And yes, I bought the bike!
 
Nice bike MJ ...what bike did you have before this new one?

Still have it. Still love it. Specialized Vado 6.0. Class 3 pedelec. 605 wh battery. Lots of torque and phenomenal range. But by the time it’s loaded with accessories it’s almost 60 lbs. Think of it as a big turbo v8 pick up.

New Trek Dual Sport Plus more like a Toyota Prius. Class 1, 500 wh battery and 45 lbs. Easier to lift for my whimpy arms.
One can never have too many ebikes!
 
Pictures take while still in a good mood. This is on the Conconully cut off road. I stopped for a water break. The cherry crop is ripening, but it didn't look like these trees had many on them. Sweet fresh cherries are my favorite fruit and one of the reasons I moved back to this area. Nothing like eating a bunch of "picked that day" Rainiers. My ride was soon to be made less enjoyable as a jerk in a diesel pickup went by and did the coaling thing. Hope Karma exists.

I rode 19 miles this morning.

What do you do on Fathers Day?
Answer... Whatever you want!

Back in the saddle, threw the bike on the stand and cleaned/lubed chain, then adjusted tire pressure. All else looked good after a wipe down.

Off to the trail then...



One of the trail exits made me gear down rapidly, and for some sad reason the chain hopped off the front...



Two minutes, a screwdriver and a rag later we're done. First use of the junk I keep in the trunk... bag.

Next to a highway there are miles of blueberries...



Here's a very old local hall. 35 years ago I was the DJ for a stag party here. The "dancer" was not impressed I was playing her opening song just before her "entrance". Lol!



Back home through the trails...



Great day, lovely ride.
