THIS. I just had my Bosch motors and batteries checked at my LBS. Over 2 years on all my batteries and zero degradation. I’ve left my batteries fully charged out in my not climate-controlled shop. I’ve pulled the battery right off the bike and slapped it onto the charger. I’ve plugged...

The bloomin’ desert. Prickly pear cactus. Ocotillo.

Oddly, the first thing that came to mind when I saw your pic was:

It’s pretty fantastic, tbh. The Priority is a rigid frame, so anything helps. But what’s surprised me is how much it’s helped. Rough pavement feels like cruising a nicely paved bike trail, and gravel and singletrack are not nearly as crotch-busting as they were. The PNW dropper on my Trek...

4 May 2023. Moonrise over the south end of the Organ Mountains, Las Cruces, New Mexico, USA. The Gravalerxs, a local riding group, host rides on Thursday evenings spring, summer, and fall. The rides vary and are made up of gravel, ditches, road, and singletrack. Last night’s was predominantly...

Only have a couple hundred miles on them so far. The bearings are holding up well to the sand and dust, but they sure get dirty fast. [emoji23]

Gawd awmighty, man! I know your pain of something being infected, though, and making those trips to the wound nurse/doc. Ugh. Not fun and the antibiotics are worse! Because I pedal with my mid foot and heels, i can only use flats. So I frequently lose the pedals on rough stuff or when my...

Pedal bite sucks.

Hazy today. Fingers crossed the forecast is correct and we see some rain tonight.

HUSH PUPPIES! Haven’t thought of those in years. They’re DogMocs and seem to work well here in the desert. But, damn, now I gotta call em Hush Puppies. [emoji1787][emoji23]

Kicked my own ass today. Managed to ride a lot further than I intended and made it home with a bar to spare and no go juice in my tank. I earned this beer. And the one that followed. [emoji16]

While I didn’t ride this past winter, I did spend money on the e-bikes. Picked up pedal extenders off Amazon for both ebikes. I’m terribly pleased with how my hip is better aligned with my ankle while pedaling with these things. As for the Priority, it’s gotten several goodies...

They are the best doggos! I’m currently fostering a year-old male. His name is Rust and he’s about as smart as it, too. 😂🤣

After months of hibernating in the house and doing nothing much other than work, reading, watching TV, and snacking, I got back on the bike this week. I got the good news last October that I’d be able to keep my leg. I was ecstatic! So much stress and uncertainty for so many months was...

There's not a lot of good, factual info that I've come across. In fact, just this morning I saw this article from NPR. The author clearly writes, "Hodgens said it appears an extension cord was running from the upper apartment down to what fire officials believe was an after-market charger for...

Y’all crack me the hell up. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Rolled 20 miles yesterday and met a new friend. A massive Western Diamondback that gave zero fucks about taking up most of the road.

It’s a ReActive Adaptations NUKE off-road handcycle with a Bafang BBS02 mid-drive kit.

I turtled the handcycle on its maiden voyage through our local singletrack. Didn’t even get any gnarly wounds to show off. [emoji1787][emoji23]

Thanks, man! Having to do research about the battery shutting off at odd times. Bafang is certainly not my preferred drive. Damn, but I wish it was possible to buy a Bosch motor kit. Got in 13 miles of road and some gravel last night. Felt amazing to be back on a bike.
