Hey all! I'm back in the swing of freezing saddles this year. I have been sidelined from riding for the past two days due to the snow but can usually get out for at least a mile every day. My...

I'm lucky and have an understanding other who permits my bikes to always remain indoors and I have a nice large research lab that has space for a bike at work. Best parking spot on campus!

Agreed! I am confident that the cold weather will sap some power, but with a round-trip being doable I think a one way trip and charging at each end will make it usable throughout the winter.

What have I started! I personally ride the bike wherever I please. If I'm on bike paths, I just stay in eco mode. It's not like I can't ride a regular bike just as fast as an ebike. I just can't...

Thus far i've got two commuting rides on the Juiced. It performs well. Cuts about 30 minutes off my commute each way, so I gain an hour of my day back. Not too shabby. Its worked great for a...

Thanks for the info! I've done the full commute on my Jamis Renegade commuter. Its doable a couple days a week, but I don't think I can get my fitness up to be able to do 5 days a week in a...

My commute is growing to 50 miles roundtrip. So I can maintain daily commuting, i'm looking into ebikes. For this distance and accounting for battery degradation in extreme cold weather, i've...

I've noticed that in the few commutes i've done so far. Luckily it hasn't been too crowded when i've traveled through.

Be a PAL! Right :) I'm pretty good at being a considerate rider (I hope!). I wouldn't expect an ebike to magically make me an inconsiderate idiot!

Lucky for me, i'm not hugely competitive and thus couldn't care less about strava asterisks. I haven't noticed being shoved anywhere by ebikes yet. If they ride faster than me because they have a...

Heat maps FTW! Pondering the Garmin 520 Plus which supposedly has these heat maps built in to recommend good routes based on garmin's treasure trove of riding data.

Thanks a bunch! These all look like viable options. Especially with an ebike propelling me along at a decent average speed if I can avoid lots of stops!

All good ideas! I do have the option to carpool with my other half to her office at UMD and bike from there. That's a more manageable 30 mile roundtrip, which works well. But if I can ebike in...

I can do it without an ebike, but perhaps not in a reasonable amount of time :p.

Indeed. I'd limit the ebike-superness to non-trail usage to hopefully avoid any kerfluffles. Any other critiques I would brush off with the justification of riding half a century a day in...

New commute time! I just moved out to Laurel MD (right near Laurel Lake). I need to commute to Marymount University in North Arlington. Currently I'm taking Van Dusen to Konterra, down 1 on the...

Selling my lightly used 2014 Giant Defy 1 (bought new last spring). Complete bike with 105's. Size medium for a good price (listed for 600 but we can work on that) if you want a complete bike.
...

I have reached "a+1" Bikes, where "a" is the number of bikes a sane person attempts to keep in a studio apartment. I would like a new do-everything bike (Jamis Renegade Expert or Exploit) to...

Anyone else doing the Maryland Endurance Challenge? http://www.mdendurancechallenge.com/

It has 3, 6 and 12 hour options. It is designed to raise money for homeless youth.

This is my first...

Thanks for the welcome! I've missed a few days due to travel and finalizing the 5 year process to get promotion/tenure. The tentative decision is positive and
there's literally no more I can do...

I was thinking more of a Nancy Kerrigan/Tonya Harding approach? I think Williams would somehow manage to do 200 miles without a chain or pedals. Would be difficult if we kneecap him!

A bit more about me: I commute from Takoma Park MD to Arlington VA every day (now that classes have started). I'll start taking the long route (18 miles each way) now that I'm in BAFS and do it...

It seems that Team 12 has been granted an alternate. I guess this means that now i'll start taking the long way to work...

Happy to join the team!
