I must've passed at least 4 dozen or more cyclists: there are...

Bikes with cadence sensors usually feel like cheap bikes but interestingly the rover did not. Power ramps up very smoothly and...

A Lot Fewer People On Multi Use Trails in June: Why?

From march to Memorial Day, the number of trail users went through the roof. There is no doubt the trails were busier than I had ever seen.

What's interesting is that on some days I'm completely convinced prior to the ride that I need a rest day but then I do go out and ride, and have a great ride where I can push the pace as much as I...

How Many Consecutive Days Have You Ridden?

I'm at about 2 and a half weeks and yesterday, I was very, very tired. I did ride, but rode far more slowly than usual.

I ride anywhere from 1 to 2.5 hours a day, varying between harder and...

Yup. As long as the road is smooth and traffic conditions allow, I'll go as fast as the descent allows.

I've maxed out at 50-51 mph.

Are You Losing Weight?

I've read many accounts of new e-bike riders losing weight, often a significant amount of weight. I don't read many accounts of people riding regular bikes who are losing weight. I'm certainly not...

Your Experiences With Supplements?

I started taking supplements again this year, after many years of avoiding them, believing, as conventional "science" would have it, that basically you were paying for expensive pee.

I've seen the boucliervisor as well. Was hoping for a clear shield option as well as the cool mirrored look. I'm fine with the bouclier as there seems no other viable options as of now.

Some are startled, oddly enough. Or at least pretend to be; I think it may just be a...
