    What eBike stuff is Santa going to bring you?

    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.

    What is your preferred cruising speed on a bike trail?

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

    What eBike stuff is Santa going to bring you?

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

    What is your preferred cruising speed on a bike trail?

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

    What is your preferred cruising speed on a bike trail?

    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...

    Came within inches of being killed on my eBike today

    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?

    Came within inches of being killed on my eBike today

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

    Came within inches of being killed on my eBike today

    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.

    Came within inches of being killed on my eBike today

    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...

    Flimsy, broken battery rack.

    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...

    Flimsy, broken battery rack.

    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...

    Flimsy, broken battery rack.

    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.

    Flimsy, broken battery rack.

    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.

    Flimsy, broken battery rack.

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

    Flimsy, broken battery rack.

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

    Flimsy, broken battery rack.

    Thanks, 2old. I have neither the skill or desire (or patience) to build one. Those look really sturdy.

    Flimsy, broken battery rack.

    I know this is all my fault, but the battery rack located on the back of my bike has broken twice. In one spot, it stuck up in a way that made a convenient handle for lifting the bike...until it broke off when I lifted the bike by it a number of times. Ok, I can work around that, I said. Now...

    What's with the word "Cheater"?

    Horse? Rattlesnake? What are those things you speak of? LOL Drove by your area this morning on my way to San Onofre to surf. Love it down there.

    What's with the word "Cheater"?

    That behavior makes no sense, must have been lycras. But it becomes obvious that some people think putting an electric motor on a bike makes someone a cheater. I think it's all because they are not the kings of the bike trail anymore, where nobody could catch them, or even keep up. Now an...

    What's with the word "Cheater"?

    Right on, Wolfeman. I am blessed to have my house and my job close to the SART trail. There is no better way to commute. Loads of fun and a good feeling knowing you are not polluting the environment nearly as much as car drivers.

    What's with the word "Cheater"?

    OK, I have to admit, that was a pretty good one.

    What's with the word "Cheater"?

    I might have the power, but I don't use it. I am noting but courteous in my riding style, never going over 18 anymore. In fact, I'm annoyed by people on eBikes going super fast on the SART trail; it gives us all a bad reputation.

    Hand fatigue from a thumb throttle

    My low-end conversion job doesn't have PAS. Would love to have it, but don't want it bad enough to spend the money for a new system. $15 on eBay for a twist throttle and I am golden.

    What's with the word "Cheater"?

    Got called a "cheater" again this weekend and gained some more insight into the mindset. I was traveling from point A to point B on the SART trail and went to go around this young, athletic guy going about 10 MPH on a beach cruiser along with a mixed group of his friends. I like to go about...
