Fun fact, it was so hot yesterday that the motor on my ebike overheated while I was cycling home... up a hill. So, yeah, yesterday, I inadvertently learnt about "limp mode".

For your bike to suddenly throttle halfway up a hill is both disconcerting and exhausting.

Thankfully, the motor is working fine this morning, but lesson learnt; my bike is now parked in my air-conditioned lab.

A sad and happy day for me. My 2015 Trek Marlin 5 is officially kaput as I have cracked the frame. I put thousands of kilometers on that bike and it just fit like a glove. I put all kinds of upgrades on it like hydraulic brakes, RockShox front forks, double lined rims, improved drive train, EVO pedals and grips, etc. It was the most expensive $500 bike in the forest! Thanks for the memories!

Bike Friends, uhhh… my wheel fell off? The fork slid apart. How much of a concern is this? I rode with no issues but I do hang my bike by the front tire all the time.

If you ever want feel-good tears, go read the reviews of electric tricycles.

There are so many great stories and photos of people regaining mobility, reconnecting with their spouse/friends/family, and just having fun.

Photo of a woman on an e-trike on a nature trail by a lake. The review reads: My wife loves her trike, happiest I've ever seen her and we've been together for 44 years. She wants to ride constantly. We visited Niagara Falls and Niagara on the Lake and rode up there and we are going to Hilton Head in 10 days and taking them there. I have an xp3. LectricEbikes support has been outstanding and the bikes are trouble free.

A photo of an old man with a goatee on an e-trike next to his granddaughter on a pink bike. The review reads: I'm going to be 74 next month and have always wanted one. I took it out of box and put everything that needed done myself, except changing the seat out. My friend that is 82 loves it too. So easy to ride.

Photo of an old man on an e-trike with the most amazing smile on his face. The photo has the text "Ramblin' Ralph" on it. The review reads: Great Ride For A Senior. I'm 91 years old, 92 next month. My trike lets me exercise my heart, lungs, and legs while having fun. You should see the looks I get from my neighbors when I ride by. Never planned to live this long, don't know how to act but me and my trike have fun every day.

Picture of a man with a grey handlebar mustache and sunglasses on an e-trike. The review reads: Disabled Veteran And His Wife!! We Love Riding Our Trikes! We bought one for my husband (disabled Veteran) so I could get him out of the house as he can't walk but maybe 100 steps. We don't do much together because of that. Out neighbor got his dad to buy a trike so they could do more together. He showed it to us and we immediately bought one for Hubby. He loved it so I got one as well, so we can ride together!!! OMG!! It only took me 35 years to find something we could do together!!! WE LOVE OUR TRIKES BABY!!! We kid about "we got TRIKES" and we're "GOIN RIDIEN!!" I love my husband and am Sooo happy to ride with him!!! We are building up to ride around presque Isle!
