I built my own E-Bike battery(20 Ah) using genuine Samsung Li-Po batteries, cost me around $300. Buying the same capacity battery would have cost me $900, so that's a big difference. 3+ Years now and...

General UL testing for product designs(not each unit) costs around $4k to $15k, not specifically for UL 2849(Don't know how much this would cost), so this means small shops can't make them or make...

These types of signals are a waste of money that better spent on better infrastructure. I thought HAWK Beacons are a better option, until I witnessed a car ignoring its 4 solid red lights and...
We could just call it Dirt Highway. Not really tied to anybody or any name. Not sure if the family approves.

If the image came from a phone without editing, then you can view its metadata that contains GPS location and camera info. Two ways:
1 - Using the free IrfanView(Windows only):

Saw at LIDL grocery store in Fairfax two items of interest to cyclists:
1 - Repair stand for $40, seems of reasonable quality. It looks like this and has a tool tray(Black/Blue):

I just submitted a message to them that the link is redirecting to a site that says it's suspended, which means they haven't paid the bills. I am not sure that I would get a response other than the...
Item is sold, thank you for your interest...
I hope the perpetrator wins a bicycle!

Pedestrian bridge collapsed earlier today in NE DC over 295, next to Lane PL. See this Google Maps link, and this Street View. It was caused by a truck that hit the bridge or its supports. It seems...
I have a feeling that if the cyclist gave the jogger 3 feet, things would have turned out differently.
The latest MUTCD edition(which the OP cited) is from 2009 with revisions from 2012, so it's 9 Years old at least. I don't know if LPI existed back then, or at least the push for road cyclists to use...
I didn't get REI newsletter this time, but they are having their annual anniversary sale until Memorial Day, Monday May 31. Use coupon code ANNIV21 for 20% Off. Here is a link to all cycling deals,...
I spent an hour searching Alexandria City Code, and I didn't find a citation. My guess is that it falls under following traffic signs general rule in VA code, and MUTCD could have elaborated more...
Google Street View(2019) doesn't show the sign, but both street view and Google Satellite(2021) show one bike lane at that intersection on Cameron St. It seems the sign is redundant, telling cyclist...
A picture would help as I don't see these signs often. That sign only makes sense if both bike lanes are on the same side of the street, like this Google Street View example at Custis/Ballston...
Do you have friends with 3D Printers? If so, some have designed mounts for Fly6 and Fly12:

Home Depot carries it for $6, but I don't think it's the tamper-resistant type:

Saw this strange Ad at CL listing 10+ non-Walmart type bikes from someone's house. I doubt that many of us are at n=10 or above. So if your bike was gone, check the photos.

There are some photos from Dec 2020 at the bottom of this page:

I am not sure if it's open or not, as I didn't go there in...
From my notes: Whole Foods grocery bag size : 12" W x 7" D x 16.5" H. Gallon of Milk footprint: 6.0" x 6.0".
I have these Panniers, which can carry a standard grocery bag in each Pannier. They cost $70 but that's for a pair of two, so they are $35/Each. I have a rebranded version of it called JANND that you...
W&OD 12:00 PM: From Vienna to Clark's Crossing Park(Google Maps Link). Only 1/4 (1/3 if including Semi-single tracking) of the trail is clear pavement. The rest is icy with footprints. Only proceed...
