Die ist keine Sache allein für große Städte: Vor allem im ländlichen Raum gibt es Nachholbedarf.

👉 Gerade dort haben ein enormes Potenzial, doch die Menschen sind mit der Radinfrastruktur unzufrieden und fühlen sich häufig nicht sicher.

I picked up a few cases of water at the store today. My trusty cargo got it all home easily. No car required.

what's with the obsessed bot/"Name12345" accounts on the bird site lately? A bunch of them had the same cleavage-laden profile pics and links to "dating" sites, but some are just faceless and very into e-bikes?

ajamesgreen,

Time to start introducing the bikes we have.

This trike style bike is popular in Denmark, can seat up four small children, and is extremely stable when stopped and at lower speeds. A two-wheeled bakfiets is a better option for speed.

Suche E-Bike Service im Raum Augsburg:
Kennt ihr eine Werkstatt oder eine/n fähigen Mechaniker/in, die/der einen Kundendienst (Bremsen, Kette, Antrieb usw.) für ein E-Bike Winora SX1 mit dem Antrieb TranzX M19QR/4/13/F im Raum Augsburg anbieten würde? Anscheinend traut sich nicht jede/r an das Modell ran.
Eine Empfehlung oder ein Tipp wäre super.

osma,

Since this was published today, on Father's Day, I'll note that almost every 2-3 trips I take to the grocery store via , a middle-aged or older man will walk up to me as I pack up my groceries and ask fascinated questions about how they work, how much they cost, and how convenient they are.

A lot of dads don't know it yet, but trust me: dads want ebikes.

jexner,

50km eBike ride this morning. It was too warm and dry for the fatbike. This is the view West up the Leymental.

GoldenDenizen,

By and far, I have the best convos with random seniors / older adults when I ride my converted e-cargo bike to GGP or a grocery store. (today was with someone's dad from SoCal who just visited the de Young)

They absolutely get it and have the best questions and convo topics. My cargo is not anything special and average at best.

If SF invests in better bike infra (aka PBLs), this important demographic could mode shift much easier. Aging in place is so much easier when you're not dependent on an automobile.

jgordon,

The Specialized Tero eBike was made for 73yo men who are not cyclists.

This is a good thing.

PS. The kickstand is essential. Do not buy without. Also, despite my praise, Specialized sucks. Their sale of app tracking data and the restriction of custom rack options to a $300 fender-rack combo are deplorable.

Another great afternoon at Beics Ogwen a community bike workshop. Ian was teaching a member how to press fit new bearings whilst I serviced an older Marin and worked on a mid motor Trek conversion.

Pile of bikes awaiting parts.
