    Fitness and ebiking

    For those on the fence, wondering if they could justify building an E bike for the sake of exercise, let me encourage you to take the next step and get started. I've got 400 miles on my Magic Pie Mountain Bike conversion and I get as much physical challenge, sometimes more, than I want. I...

    WSJ Article on Evehicles in Texas.

    Man! That's a heck of a rant, Ragtop! Bring it on! saw a great bumper ticker the other day: The Second Coming! Everything for Free. Obama in 08. Heck should say: Everything for everything you got.

    WSJ Article on Evehicles in Texas.

    And....if we harvest wind, perhaps we'll speed aviary natural selection, creating a whole new genetic line of birds who know instinctively to fly around those big spinny things, not through them. :lol: EMF: thanks for taking the high road. I was starting to wonder if it's safe to have a...

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDeeHvMBB1A Here's a clip from that film. Sad to say, I know in my heart of hearts, Nuclear host the same evil as oil, only exponentially more so. check out the clip for a taste of what we should at least be trying to have a reasonable discussion about. Tomasius

    WSJ Article on Evehicles in Texas.

    I gotta say, a part of me saddened when gas came down about fifty cents out here in San Diego- -for fear complacency will sustain the status quo. But another part of me was relieved because I'm dying out here. My clients aren't doing anything and the economy's come to a screeching halt. Not...

    WSJ Article on Evehicles in Texas.

    Dog!, Thanks for permission to rant. I swear, I took my lo=pressor this morning, so my Blood Pressure is holding steady. You're right. The fat cats did push until they found the ceiling. Now that they know where it is, they'll hold it there as long as they can. And you know what? That's...

    WSJ Article on Evehicles in Texas.

    Gas just came down to 3.99 and 9/10ths at my local costco. Everyone's breathing a sigh of relief, but I just get so exasperated by the lemming-esk response to our ridiculous dependence on foreign sources of energy and the ridiculous profits made by oil conglomerates, when they all should be...

    Aptera Sighting

    Hey Folks! just wanted to share an experience with you. I live and work in Carlsbad, California- -the town that http://www.aptera.com resides in. When I ran out to grab a quick cup at Starbucks this afternoon, I spotted an Aptera Typ-1 parked in the lot. When I got out to head into the shop...

    gordon brown in favour of electric cars

    I know this probably doesn't fit in the ebike discussion thread, but it seems that now is the time to demand that GM resurrect the EV1 plug in electric car. They are obligated by law to do whatever it takes to turn a profit for me, a shareholder. They're down to just under 10 bucks per share...

    Bionx Anyone?

    @ericslai: Thanks. I'm really torn between the power assist concept and the twist throttle and go approach. I know you can pedal along with any system so long as your gears are high enough to match your speed. I spend a heck of a lot of time at the gym, however, and I'd much rather be burning...

    Bionx Anyone?

    Thanks for the great replies. Yet more websites to bookmark and devour.... I appreciate your insight. I had an inkling the regen thing is kind of hype, but I've got some really mean long hills to coast down and since I'm mid forties, 220 lbs, self employed with limited life insurance, not...

    Bionx Anyone?

    Hey, big fat newbie question here. I've got a sweet hard tail mountain bike with dual disk brakes that I want to convert and ride to work everyday. I'm in So. Cal. in kind of a hilly region, meaning long climbs and equally long sections of steepish coasting, and the weather's good most of...
