That cop needed more important things to do. I'm grateful that adults are not required to wear helmets on bikes where I live. I'd be poorer.

Holy cow! You bike goes 47? That's freaking fast. What is your setup?

I'm looking at new bike tomorrow, but Santa probably will back out.

So you are one of the good ones. Thank you for your courtesy.

What speed is comfortable for you when you are on a bike only trail? I used to go full throttle 32 MPH at all times, zooming past traditional cyclists, until the newness of the speed wore off. Now I find that 18 MPH is the most fun. Less stressful, more peaceful, safer, more courteous to...

Holy cow! That's terrible. So the only recourse would be to sue the driver. Do you know of cyclists who have sued car drivers successfully?

This is totally surprising to me. I thought a car driver was automatically at fault if they hit a bike.

No, I don't wear reflective clothing, but I have flashing lights on my bike. This lady totally saw me and didn't like being stuck behind me for even a minute.

I work at a school that is located in a residential neighborhood. I was going up the street arriving at my school doing about 19 or 20 MPH. The driveway into the parking lot is located on a sharp right curve, that is so sharp it's a blind curve. Stuck out my left arm to signal I was making a...

I think the rack is still usable for awhile. I can't find any more breakage in the part of the rack that actually holds the battery, but I know it's just a matter of time. The rack used to have a metal loop in the front of the battery, which I used as a lifting handle and broke it off. The...

Here's the rack. You can see that there is a piece missing on the front of it and on the back of it. Funny thing is, it still has what it needs to hold the battery; I have just somehow broken off anything else. The silver box, that looks like it's attached to the back, is actually a small...

It's good to know that breakage is a common problem on racks. I thought I was doing something wrong, but now it seems the only thing wrong I have been doing is asking the frame to do more than it was engineered for. Good to know. Thanks for the info.

Thanks Robert, I think I'll stop by there sometime in the next few weeks. I ride a standup paddleboard in the surf, so closer to a longboard than a shortboard. We just bought my wife a stepthru eBike and I like riding it too.

Very cool. I wish you were closer, I would hire you to make me one! :D

Thanks for that great idea, dogman. Unfortunately, I'm not much of a builder. I might look into having something like that custom made.
