    Going Long and Hard.

    Did they hire you as a destruction tester or is that just a side bonus?

    Gravel bike recommendations...

    Funny I never noticed this thread before running off and doing my thing. I just bought a used 2019 Diverge E5 with Claris 8 speed. I rode it once, contemplated major upgrades then sold it and bought a 2021 E5 Elite. The Claris bike worked just fine but upgrades are going to be costly. The 2019...

    Let's see your Walmart bikes!

    A bummer to me is seeing Walmart develop the pretty decent Ozark 29er but people still buy the garbage 40 pound full suspension junk because “more stuffs” I guess.

    So all the pups and mommy are adopted. Mom went to a nice retired couple who are already doting on her. One pup went to a family member and the other to a fellow rider so we get to stalk them both! I'm sure it'll be soon enough that we'll be fostering again.....;)

    Yeah, he does the best puppy dog eyes. We'll be up to three, which is too many. Sigh. Karma shmarma, I'd be thrilled if somebody dropped some dirt in the fresh backyard excavations for me...:)

    Upgraditis has set in-Specialized Diverge

    Clearly the correct solution was “new bike” so I did that. @MadisonDan came closest as it has (peasant) GRX.

    Or....just go find a $1000.00 used Epic from 2012-2020 and put skinny tires on it. That is an abomination.

    ALL E-bike-riders will need to Register and get Insurance

    Classic NJ nonsense. NJ: "We now require insurance on your E-bike" Insurance industry: "we don't offer that" NJ: .....we now require you to find insurance for your E-bike"

    Cars, it's electric! Do Do Do

    Not many teens can afford enough HP to do it dry.

    Cars, it's electric! Do Do Do

    If the Forbes article carries any weight I'd say it's less the car but the owners. A large number of Tesla owners are not car people and prioritize safely, low maintenance, and ease of operation. I had one owner state "the car just went off the road" and while discussing the incident it was...
