I tend to get a new ebike every year over the last 4 years. Still a third of the cost of car ownership for just one year. Try to have one for every use case. Folding, Commuter, Cargo, Long tail. Maybe should get a Bakfiets this year.

There was a DUI accident last week that caused damage downtown Winston. A sticker appeared on the rail that was damaged that was pretty apt about cars in America! No charges yet but was on St Patricks weekend.

Very important information, if you are curious how large the XL Panniers are on the #Lectric Xpedition 2, the answer is one full length cat.

I should upload my compilation of flipping off cyber trucks. A lil cringe, but man, everyone should try it. Feels real good.

I got to see pete at a ground breaking back in July. I had never felt more proud of being American when i heard them talking about investing in infrastructure and transportation equity. He really understood America. Now I'm looking at moving to the Netherlands or something, lol.

Micro mobility options are nice and all but maybe don't deploy scooters in bike racks Lime?

Love retro reflective clothes. Always get comments about them when wearing them. Illuminite & Reflectoes as well as Moutain Warehouse have quite the selection.

When I sell or refer a sale for an ebike, I require it be insured. For those looking for options, Velosurance has been great. Just be sure to have a proper chain lock/ u on the bike. There's a new one, Tempo, that appears good. Always pull up any poles you attach to, some pop up, esp parking signs.

I've felt like there is a narrative push by the media to combine edirtbikes Talaria, Surron w/ ebikes to make them easier to fear monger and turn to outrage like battery fires. Been a trend with teens just being a menace riding edirtbikes in urban cores. Has made it a challenge for PEV acceptance.

I use solar now but have also found more than 80% of the sites i run into have some kind of power. Worst comes to worst just pedal on flats and use PAS 2 when below 30%.

One of my cargo bike camping adventures. Averaged 75 miles a day over 4 days with some real leg work. Love cargo bikes so much, life changing tech.
