Another dusty ride today. I try to get out when the temp gets up to 60F/15C, although warmer gloves and pants would help. Drought continues in Valley Forge and surrounding areas. This is usually a creek.

A couple months ago I was chatting with a young guy and his wife on a trail. He had just taken a job with Yamaha as an ebike sales rep. It seems, at the time, that they were planning on expanding their market reach. Guess that didn’t last long. I feel bad for the guy now as he’s probably out of...

I’m riding a SQlabs 611 ergowave active on my eMTB. I was a convert to the ergowave active after putting a 610 on my gravel bike. With the type of pain and numbness I was getting from other saddles, I knew after 1 hour that the ergowave was going to be better. I don’t have the infinergy (hard...

Very dry day at Marsh Creek state park in southeastern Pennsylvania. We haven't had rain in a month so water levels are low and trails are mostly dry and dusty. On the previous day I had just finished a gravel ride when I noticed a significant layer of fine dust on the bike and wondered how much...

There’s a sign I must have read years ago but can’t remember. Passed by this location so many times I couldn’t count.

Crisp fall day in Valley Forge.

Still green at Valley Forge

Nice weather at Marsh Creek. Bit too high for a rollover. Had to duck even with the seat down Good sittin rock Took a wrong turn at one point and ended up climbing a rocky narrow trail, then got a leg cramp in the quad. Ok let me just stand here in the middle of this trail for 10 min until...

Well, take this with a grain of salt because I don't think I've ridden enough different bikes to have a good feel for real subtle sizing differences. To me, stack and reach don't seem like they correspond easily to a body dimension, but RAD gave me an additional dimension that helped me...

Arm length does factor into RAD, but so does leg length and torso length. Measuring fists to the ground is more accurate than height * 4.47 or whatever because it’s measuring just the distance from hands to feet in riding position which corresponds closest to the bottom bracket to handlebars...

Rode all the trails at Nockamixon on Sunday. Even rode the one I crashed on a couple months ago. Nice day if a bit muddy in some (many) places. Nothing like what I've seen here from the UK riders.

Nice to know I bought my 2022 Rise at the best time, after the price increase and before the discount. :cautious:

Hadn't ridden my MTB (hardtail) since I got the EMTB almost a year ago. Brought it out last month on a trip to a trail system where e-bikes are prohibited. Rode fine but i did miss the 29" wheels since this one is just 27.5. The lighter weight was nice. For flat asphalt/gravel trails I use a...

I'll have to take your word for it as I'm over 5000 km from the closest Halfords 😁

I would be nervous using the Saris bike beam or the Halfords crossbar as they have a 15kg/35lbs weight limit.
