there must not be many other riders where you are, if i waved at everyone i’d never have two hands on the bars! i only acknowledge other riders when we’re in pretty remote areas.

Almost WNBR naked bicycle ride day, which happens in June usually. https://wiki.worldnakedbikeride.org/index.php?title=List_of_rides
Full disclosure: We're in Vancouver right now; it was in the 80s yesterday and the hotties on bikes wouldn't have hurt my feelings by wearing even less.

Sitting on the balcony of our cabin; pretty nice out right now.

finally warmed up a bit still raining though, we seem to swing from drought to dreary( OTH as of late we have about the best weather on the planet around November,light frost in the mornings around 70 in the afternoon,low humidity and no bugs!)The dry conditions in late summer and fall are killing our deciduous trees

If I was younger I would work on obtaining a citizenship for BC,I would concentrate on being a "first responder" scientist or forestry management( cant let the yanks get all the good lumber and screw up the old growth forest-besides I want to meet "bigfoot',our local"wood booger" is very elusive)

I saw my first National Park Ranger on the rail trail this week. He was riding a recumbent with a "RANGER" sign on the back of the seat. Rangers here are law enforcement officers, so they can detain offenders, impound vehicles, call town or state cops, etc. I slowed down when I passed him

A radio has a chance.A few of the kids I see on the trail would do a wheelstand on their Surron as they passed. Not much chance of catching him with a recumbent.

that's what few state troopers and cops fail to realize they get caught up in the excitement of the chase and forget there has never been a stock car or motorbike that could outrun a radio( descalate don't fan the fire) or helicopter.

Suronster is probably the most infuential 'safe' influencer for road riding high power emotorcycles.
He has covered the Bonnell CYC powered mountain bike and his surprise is genuine, you can see deep down he wants to be accepted by society, but of course its still ludicrously overpowered and very dangerous on shared trails.
But now hes involved you are going to see a surge of these on the trails with riders trying to justify them because of
the way they look, of course no one is going to be fooled, these are 6KW bikes.
But I will admit, I would love one if we had dedicated trails for them, which isnt going to happen.
You can see him on the trails interacting with legal bikers frrom around 5min onwards
It is restricted to 30mph in 'street' use, but has a race mode as well.
This motor and battery are 2 grand to buy as a kit, you can fit it to any mtb that can squeeze the battery in the frame
