I see I’m gonna have to bring my A-game. I was leaving Kalona, Iowa, via the town center but delayed for the show. I didn’t have an interest prior to biking the Midwest but have come to appreciate the collector’s labor of love.

Ebike of the day is this Giant Road E. That frame bag fits well.

I hope you took the opportunity to stop at the Kalona Creamery for some fresh cheese curds while you were there.

Non E-Biker of the day : This Clockwork Orange weighs 80 lbs + 2 kids in there brings the load to over120 lbs. It could surely benefit from a motor but I guess what does not kill you makes you stronger.

Ebike of the day is interesting; The owner started with a cheap frame and upgraded with parts from Ebay. It has a delimited 750 watt mid engine with a 14 Ah battery.Full suspension and more. He has addded a 180 mm front fork , a rear shock, plus a seatpost suspension. It also has 203 mm Shimano brakes and an electric horn that sounds like a foghorn to scare off bears on Burnaby Mtn. Upgraded wheels and tires too. This thing flies , I had to go full out to keep up. Oh yeah and look at the rear cluster. It should be able to climb just about anything.
