That's just...

I don't have the words.

Even today, that bike will get you laid.

Purdy.

I am presently at war with various creaks my bike has lately developed. You cover a mechanical thing in mud once a week for 3-4 years it turns out it has an effect, who knew?

I was at REI yesterday for the big sale,and found myself looking at bikes. They were all nice. Much nicer than my trash picker's special I rode to work last week. So I looked past the big 20% off tag on the one that had caught my eye, and found the itty bitty price tag. I had to out my reading glasses on, the print was so small.

I knew a new bike would cost some money, but holy cow. I didn't see a single bike there for under a grand, and the one I had been eyeballing was $3k.

Imma tinker with my trash picker's special and just forget I saw those.

You can get good used bike stuff at pinkbike.com.

There is a lot of talk about the demise of the 26". Collecting parts for my clutch of mtn bikes.

Whistleberries!

After a lot of noise in 2009, the Copenhagen wheel is finally coming to market. The self contained electric motor to add to the 26/27 inch wheel on your bike. Developed at MIT, and sponsored(whatever that means) by the Mayor of Copenhagen, it being manufactured in Massachusetts. They show a price of $950, but there are a bunch of motor size and other options so who knows. Rumor has it you can pre-order for $700.

This concerns me...

MOBILE APP
Get more from your Wheel by downloading the complimentary mobile app, which allows you to lock/unlock your wheel, choose amongst a menu of customizable rides, and track personal usage statistics including time, distance, calories burned, elevation climbed and more, all of which can be compared and shared with friends.

Does that distracted riders.

This is the only one that I see as a potential problem because it might be adjusted during a ride, but the rest are for number crunching after the fact. Like reviewing data recorded on a black box for your car.

From Wiki:

Quote:

A bicycle equipped with a Copenhagen Wheel in effect becomes a pedelec, i.e. a bicycle in which the electric motor assists the rider when necessary but only when they are actively pedalling.

I see a problem.

If it's working when you're not pedalling, it's a motor vehicle.
