These are really fun. Do you find the wood holds up well without cracking?
I am in the camp we need both infrastructure investments and bike subsidies in the short term. I think people will start demanding more Bike infra after they experience an ebike. And for much of suburban America utility biking without electric assist is really difficult due to terrain, climate or distance.
I am simply shocked at how every major auto manufacturer is essentially giving them that advantage too. Pretty impressive how incapable they all truly are.
I feel this so much. I read this quote from my local newspaper today:
When completed, traffic engineers predict a morning rush hour that's expected to reduce current Boones Ferry Road to I-5 travel time from 6.5 minutes to 4 minutes.
While an exact starting date has yet to be set, construction will begin soon for the $2.7 million project.
$2.7MM of land widening to save… 180 seconds off of commutes.
I am over in the PNW but that sounds awesome!
Nice! I keep wanting to try bike camping but haven’t ever gotten organized enough to figure it out.
100%! I need to figure out excuses for using the bike this summer now that there isn’t a school commute 🙃
Come join us on slrpnk.net and get some optimism from folks working on the solutions.
I am riding a Tern GSD S00 and have put about 100miles/mo on the bike in the last 18mo for errands and commutes to my 2 kids school.
I love the bike but the maintenance is quite a pain. In particular replacing brake pads is annoying due to all of the accessories. Also, the lock failed and a caliper exploded requiring a warranty replacement.
Cargo ebikes are awesome but it seems the hardware needs to be heavier duty to make maintenance less fussy.
