    E-bikes are a thing

    I breathe less on a e-bike and therefore emit less CO2. I did the math, it’s carbon neutral.

    Building up mobility, strength and resilience when in the 50s to notch up the MTB skillset

    I have found kettlebells to give me what you seem to be looking for, and the nature of the movements helps mobility. Because you never get into super heavy weight, injury is less of a concern as well. My current program has helped my mobility tremendously, particularly in regard to back and...

    Ask an automobile mechanic.

    This happened to me with my Passport after the dealer changed the oil… turns out the oil drained onto the control arm and pooled there, then leaked out and into the garage. Rather sloppy for a dealership in my opinion.

    Cars, it's electric! Do Do Do

    EVs will get better and cheaper, ICE vehicles got and are getting better. no one wants a clapped out 10+ year old ICE car either… low mileage or not 10+ year old cars will be less reliable regardless of miles… but buying an old EV isn’t like an old iPhone. It’s a bad analogy because the network...

    Another Cyclist Murdered

    idk, I really didn’t find it that hard for the ID card and which one of these procedures would you cut out? Which law is too hard to comply with?

    Cars, it's electric! Do Do Do

    I moved from bike market crashing to here… seems more appropriate here. Maybe, but maybe not. appliances are getting more efficient, grids are getting smarter and can shut off high load devices for short periods of time. Air conditioning is one of the biggest load on the grid, more large...

    Is the inflated Bike market finally crashing?

    https://www.transportation.gov/rural/ev/toolkit/ev-infrastructure-funding-and-financing/federal-funding-programs I won’t argue that more needs to be done, particularly in grid work.. but 7.5 billion… it’s a start.

    Brewery news

    Really depends on the place, I couldn’t stand bringing my kids to a small cramped place but Readington brewery has games and a jungle gym for kids, with lots of room to run around so I’ll bring the brood there and meet up with other parent friends. It beats having to guest prep my house.

    Cars, it's electric! Do Do Do

    I think the more logical explanation for his tweets/behavior is his attempt to appeal to a more conservative crowd. In order for Tesla to grow, it needs to appeal to more than just the wealthy liberal elite, which though some exceptions, seems to be its solid demo. It’s in trouble now as he’s...

    Cushetunk Mt Preserve Conditions

    A little slippery this am on the wet rocks and leaves, but overall nice shape. A few trees down, one early in the Z climb, then a few down further up past the payphone. I will plan to bring my handsaw on next outing. Glad I didn’t take the leap of faith over this, because there was nothing...

    How the hell are we supposed to retire?

    I really wonder what Florida will be like in 15 years when the boomers die off? Is its job sector diversified enough to make it to the next population bubble getting old? Will the housing market dip in between population bubbles? Are they doing anything to try to prepare for a die off? I’m...

    Cars, it's electric! Do Do Do

    I’ll add that evolution does not care about getting you to 90, so our “evolved” diet will be for optimal performance to about 40. The book Paleomyths did a nice job covering the misconceptions about an evolved diet with the primary take away being there is no single diet for humans, it varied a...

    Cars, it's electric! Do Do Do

    It’s my understanding that Teslas with a dual motor optimize 1 motor for lower speed and the second motor for highway speed. Power routed accordingly based on the situation, achieving efficiency w/o the trans.

    Cars, it's electric! Do Do Do

    In the approximate 120 years of cars what major manufacturer has made any of their vehicles obsolete? There has been an undeniable improvement in reliability and reduced maintenance, so why would we predict that trend will change? Example oil changes went from 3k to 10k+ and cars today are...

    What’s with all my flat tire

    I used to run aeffect 24 SL wheels, with various tires, mostly panaracer fire xc I think, but recently maxis aggressor in the rear. In three years I don’t think I ever had a flat. In June, I switched to a fortus 30 rim in the rear… and since have had 5 flats. 2 we’re on aggressors, 1 on MINION...

    Specialized selling bikes direct to consumer - new news?

    I am surprised Florida has a market for this. Don’t retired people look forward to a trip to the bike shop? I mean if it’s a POS hybrid, okay, I just don’t want a causal bike guy touching my bike on anything beyond what I can do myself. It seems like bringing a high End car to a jiffy lube.

    Real world reaction if/when markets crash? Will this time be different?

    If a company is able to layoff people and be at max productivity, they will lay off the people, they don’t need high taxes to motivate them. Theyre not tolerating inefficiency because they have a couple extra bucks from low taxes, every person on payroll should be increasing the profits...

    Modern Automotive Headlights

    Really not relevant in this application, but just read about headlights that use the adaptive cruise control/braking camera in cars to work with the lighting to create a “shadow” for on coming cars while emiting high beam quality light in the areas that won’t blind the oncoming driver...
