    Bikes and Moto-bikes - why do they cost… the same?

    Interesting watch below. Explores some of the info behind the scenes on what a bike costs and what a moto costs. Something that has always bugged me. I think it really boils down to what a group is willing to pay, but it’s pretty interesting. The point made about the customization available...

    Trading in a vehicle

    Question for the hive. I’m debating trading in my truck. The paint is a mess - scratches in many places and a large area where the clear coat is a mess. It’s a 2019. For trade in, do I go get it detailed or just bring it to the dealer in whatever condition (other than vacuuming it out? Will I...

    Tacx Neo 2 Review

    I recently picked up a Tacx Neo 2 from Halters and figured I would post up my first impressions. I’m coming from a sorta-smart Tacx Satori, which is an older wheel-on model. The tl;dr: I like the Tacx Neo 2 and recommend it. It really improved my Zwift experience. The details: To start, I’m...

    Yikes - Jamis

    Not a whole lot in the article (pasted below) but sounds like something pretty horrific happened at Jamis. https://www.nj.com/bergen/2021/10/body-found-inside-offices-of-high-end-bicycle-retailer-cops-say.html One person was taken into custody after a body was found Wednesday on the premises...

    Gas Powered Bike Group Ride - June 19 - Cross Country Powersports

    Who’s up for a group ride? My first thought: Meet in the central Nj area. Start mid/late morning, grab outside lunch or ice cream or coffee somewhere, ride a bit after that then head our separate ways. Nothing too fast, but definitely not boring. I have some great routes that head straight...

    Good for a kid?

    Never been here and am looking for another spot to take my son. He is 12 years old, comfortably rides 6MR, rides the maple flats trail at the Sourlands with surprising success, but I’m looking for something between those trail types (very smooth vs very technical) besides Chimney Rock. Any...

    Hitch bike rack?

    After consciously dismissing all the puns that ran through my head about racks... I need a hitch bike rack that fits 4 bikes. I have a 2” hitch. After searching for all of ten minutes I immediately became overwhelmed and decided I should ask the peanut gallery. I need to be able to move 20”...

    Free jerseys/bib pants/jacket

    Look pro in my used but good shape Zyrtec branded kit. All size L+ except for the jacket which is XL. I’m a size 42 chest and they fit great - which is snug. I’m tall, and these are not tall enough anymore since I’ve put on weight and now my belly sneaks out. I was able to get away with this kit...

    Do you ever think about moving out of state?

    You see it come up here once in a while - people sometimes hint at it - but do you ever think about moving out of state? If you are thinking about moving, where are you looking to move? How close are you to actually doing it? And most importantly, why? Kids? Tired of taxes? You just gotta smoke...

    Chimney work needed

    Hey I need some chimney work done here in Hillsborough. The chimney is capped, so it’s no longer used. What I need done is to have the masonry cleaned and sealed. When we get long periods of rain, water seeps through the masonry and ends up in my garage. It’s not the roof or flashing - I just...

    China Bike Share Woes

    Saw bike mounts?

    After some very unsuccessful googling I was curious if anyone has any ideas for mounting a bow saw to the mountain bike. I have a 21” bow saw that I currently strap to my pack with JORBAnds. It’s a little weird while riding and I don’t know how I feel about crashing with a saw on my back. Anyone...
