Here in Reading, PA we broke a 124-year-old record for rainfall with nearly 70" of rain in 2018. That's 178 cm of water. And the weather pattern continues into 2019. I rode a trail on Neversink Mt. Sunday and it was like riding in a stream.
Great pic, btw, stiv674!
This is a good discussion thread.
Like others here, I worry about the impact of online shopping on local communities when the brick and mortars shutter their doors. Online retailers sure make it easy to shop for a lot of items, but without the local retailers, who is going to sponsor the...
GPS course tracking in Mission Control is batty. When reviewed, the course contains errors - some obvious - that do not follow the actual course ridden. For instance, yesterday's course has me riding through the Schuylkill River (no bridge at that point) as well as roads and paths I simply did...

I use my Dodge Ram Crew Cab pickup truck, but I'm from the US - land of oversized vehicles so that suggestion may be bunk for your location. With that disclaimer out of the way, I'll add that I've used vans in Croatia and Italy to transport bikes. Man, I wish we could get the European...
Good information. Thanks for the share. It may be helpful to know that stainless steels typically do not match well with aluminum. SS is reactive with aluminum, and when SS comes into contact with an aluminum base metal, the aluminum will likely corrode. SS screws are also more susceptible...
I did a group mtb ride over the holidays with a demo of the exact Levo I recently purchased. I was the only guy with a motor between my feet, and all the other guys in the group were top-notch cyclists. There wasn't one cyclist in the group that I could ever drop - ever! They buried me on the...
SPDs for me. Probably because that's the setup I've always used and it provides more even power distribution. The motor is there to assist but I still want the workout.
