Then again, a bicycle has two wheels, one wheel is aunicycle, three is a tricycle and for a quadricycle. In many law text things they refer to pedalcycles to cover them, altho no more then three wheels usually. But then again the four wheeled things with pedals I've seen were clearly cars...

Roughly 300wh of lead, tho it seems I dont ever use that much. Weighs a fuckton, or 1.6 shitloads in USofA units. Could get away with less if my current ebike didn't suck so much.

18 hp here: EAx1KUIb9Zo but it's an 50cc modded to 70cc, dosen't count. However the dude recons with better fuel and no air filter they could get 21 bhp and scaled down to 50 cc that would be 15bhp, seems to confirm what you're saying. Also this video is awesome, building of an euro style 50cc...

Well, basicly a day earlier I needed some liniment and the store was gonna close, one of my co workers gave me a ride on his CBR 125, and it was quite enjoyable. But I don't have a class 6 lisence or I'd have looked into getting one. The next day at work the topic came up and I mentionned how...

I've accidentally bought a 2002 beewee couple days ago, 11K kms on it. Just needed carb cleaned, now it runs good. (electric starter not working and dead battery tho.) oJtzw_YXLP8 I've noticed very few other motorcycles on the road when it's raining or even just not sunny, bet that's...

Despite having not owned one for close to a decade, it happens once or twice-ish per year.

Yup, GMC denali has mtb sized bars that are in two peices, chopped at center and mtb twist shifters near teh stem. I've thought about getting one just for the bars. CCM medalist seems to be setup similary, but I'd bet any road bike that had mtb shifters somehow fitted onto it near the stem...

City slicker at the rear, yeah that may be why your bike feels tail happy. These tires ride real nice, spool up fast, got low rr and seem to last forever. Yay! But, in cornering they feel like the bike wants to wash out under me, not the most confidece inspiring. Suggest getting german...

I woulda swished over to the car's left, spit on it's window as I passed and slowly merged back into the bike lane. Edit: There's ample place for a bike between two moving cars either side to side or front to back, for the rest your ears give you a 360 degree view of where cars are and how fast...

I heard of this place from here: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/power-assist/message/49148

Even if you don't understand french, the video is quite telling. At the end it says "In 2007, vote." 7816502621061449907

Bottomless funds? I'd get something like a Marin Mill Valley. Otherwise check out bike shops that deal second hand bikes, or pawn shops. That way you can get something pretty awesome for cheap, just avoid anything that looks like it's been ridden quite a lot or has shoddy looking build or...

If I win it, I'm a hack together some extracycle-like thing and mount it on that.

Last time we tried this no one showed up, but click here and everything should load automaticly: http://widget.mibbit.com/?settings=14de232d08966377a53473b7e69dcfdf&server=MapleLeaf.ON.CA.ChatNet.Org&channel=%23Endless-Sphere&noServerTab=false&autoConnect=true Else use like MIRC or something...

But just about any other DH bike would have survived that. Thing is that one was 6 years old and second hand, presumably well used and so much weaker from fatigue, new it coulda survived. Compounded by the way the bike has the stock Marzochi Z5, they arn't really ideal for this kinda use and...
