I bought these to ride in winter and when black ice lurks in the shade. Last year I went sideways on the ashpalt and that put me out of commision for 3 weeks. Any foul weather riders may want this prevention. https://www.vitalmtb.com/product/guide/Knee-Shin-Pads,56/100/Teratec,25747

The Big Prawn, Ballina, New South Wales …

Size? Look carefully and you'll see my ebike beneath it.

 

[steve mercier]

wow!

 

[PDXzap]

Yikes! How big is the barbie that's able to cook that thing?

 

[DaveMatthews]

Bit of a "tall tail" if you ask me... and of course you're not...

Taken on my last cycle tour across South Island, NZ …

About one third of the flock had already passed me (I was on my Airnimal folder), then these ewes, followed by the remaining third of the flock which can be seen approaching from the left beyond the motorhome.

Just go to New Zealand; it's a beautiful and friendly place. Ebikes can be provided.

got this when I went along a new to me bike path.

A small family of dear that stopped for a bite to eat along my route this afternoon...

That is a truly green machine. Does it come with a lawnmower in the trunk or do you just park it near livestock?

 

[steve mercier]

No cycling today. There is a layer of black ice under the snow. I wonder which is more difficult to ride through between a flock of sheep or snow covered ice ?

 

[Deacon Blues]

It's snowing here on Vancouver Island too.

I lied. Got cabin fever and went for 30k on the Acoustic bike. Very slow tough sledding compared to the Ebike but very much worth it. I feel the same tired as I do after 100 k with a motor.

 

[steve mercier]

The Smart Sam plus are not bad in the snow but tomorrow I will put on Marathon Winters with studs for the ice. I think the Ebike will stay in the garage until the rains wash away the ice and road salt.

 

[Deacon Blues]

Hard core, Steve.

The bogey bogie …

 

[Saratoga Dave]

Dave has outdone himself on this one! What in the name of God is that thing, and I wonder how it would go over on the Warren County Bikeway to Lake George?

Mad Max ...beyond the Velodrome!

Rode about 30k on my new 42-622 tires. I can go faster and with more confidence in this stuff on these. These are skinnier than the Sams and have 150 relatively small studs so they are not loud like the ice spikers. Rubber side stays down and thumbs go up! I did notice a bit of slip on snow covered ice when climbing a fairly steep hilly road but it is a good tradeoff since I would not hesitate to ride these on mostly dry roads and would not want to do that with the Ice Spikers. range is 30 -70 PSI. https://www.schwalbetires.com/marathon_winter_plus

David does it ever freeze there? You will likely never need studded tires methinks?
