I alwasy throught mopeds could be either pedal or motor. Could be wrong - never ran into many. The PEBL is class three ebike, which means instead of pedal assit, there's a throttle and the rider doesn't need to pedal; because of its weight (200+ pounds) you won't go much faster than 12 mph. I pedal it all the time, because I bought it to bike in bad weather, and if I didn't want to do that, I'd use my car. Most ebikes only turn on the motor when pedaled, so they require effort. Most people use them to extend the range of where they can normally bike, help with hills, etc. All the different classes of bikes specify the motor disables after 20 mph, so going any faster would require full pedaling.

Extreme ski legend Dean Cummings was just charged with murder; now held without bail in New Mexico. This is all very bizarre - he ran a well-known heli-guide outfit, H2O Guides out of Valdez and was relatively peerless after Doug Coombs died in La Grave. I know a guy in NH who was a heli pilot for his operation. But apparently he's been sliding into paranoid schizophrenia in recent years. The guide operation collapsed after he took a bunch of client deposits and ran. There's a whole sordid thread on TGR that sadly predicted that his behavior would end in violence. https://www.tetongravity.com/forums/showthread.php/328241-Dean-Cummings-went-full-bore-crazy

Did an hour bikeride this morning with the temperature eight degrees - did nicely. I did find that when it gets that cold I need to turn on the heater so I don't over-fog the windshield; I also have a USB fan to help with that. Was a couple degrees warmer and didn't need the heater for a 7 1/2 mile ride. I started from home to a branch office, then to my normal one, and have another ten miles to bike home in a few hours.

Not sure about snow, but even with the heel well off, no water unless I'm going through a very large puddle at top speed. It's not water-tight; the windows are plastic and water goes get through the side windows. It's not a problem while riding, but can be if you leave it outside at work when there's a heavy rain all day long. Whoops. It doens't affect the seat, but I did have to do some mopping off of water from the fabric on the bottom.

This is a short video where I walked around it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjoBYWIPEuU I've since added the heelwell to keep the breeze from coming in from underneath (nice during the winter, but now that it's a degree or two from freezing not so much), but haven't had to use the heater yet. Because of it's unique nature, I'm doing more of my own bike maintenance like tighening up the disk brake. I've tried to do a video of my biking in it with a cheap gopro knockoff, but I don't want to use permanent adhesive for the camera and I haven't found a command strip or substitute that works well enough to keep the camera on the inside roof, and there's no reason for me to spend money on something more elaborate that nobody else is going to watch. The first thing I hear is why isn't it cheaper - and my guess is that there's just not enough demand for full-on production. But I figured people spend their money on boats and other things, I'd just spend it on this.

About fifteen years ago I used to bike commute to work - it was fun, but then the company went to hell, and I was in the 50% of workforce that got shitcanned (fuckers waited until I finished a flawless installation that was 25% under budget). Then I got a job where I worked out of my car, so that killed that. Last year I started biking to work again, which was a lot of fun, but the Minnesota winter is not so fun. I know people who bike all winter long, but they are all from Minneapolis who does a much better job plowing than St. Paul, which leaves a trail of deep icy ruts on residential streets. So I'm trying out an enclosed e-trike to bike this winter, complete with heater. It costed an ungodly amount of money ($11,000!) but has been really nice when it's been pouring rain and windy, so I have high hopes for this winter. Despite the price, I think I've paid about a 1/3 of it so far just for not paying for gar and car repairs over the summer.

Sigh. This year's shared ski-haus is going to be trying. My girlfriend and myself havbe been in various shared houses for about 10 out of the last 11 years. All have had their issues, but I'm becoming nostalgic for the last one already. Unfortunately the owner passed away. For this year's, we became new members of a long-established house; most other members are in their 50s and 60s by the look of things. That's fine, but unfortunately a "couple" (I put that in scare quotes because they're not in a relationship, but they drive up to Killington together and made sure to become members of the same house) from the last years' house is now a member of this house. They were known, behind their back, as The Bickersons, and for good reason. And a longstanding member of this new house is clearly a severe alcoholic at this point in his life. He seems somewhat socially clueless, dresses badly in political slogan t-shirts and other t-shirts, drinks to the point of sloppily spilling things, is thin-skinned, old and unattractive, and unable to admit that he has a drinking problem. ("I don't need that crap!", he said, about somebody who lectured him about the drinking.) Ugly bloodshot eyes at the dinner table last night. The one glimmer of self-awareness I detected in him was a faint one, he mentioned that this might be his last year in a ski-share because he doesn't like the long drive any more. (He complains a lot.) The rest of us should be so lucky. At least he hasn't come across as violent, yet; only petulant.

It doesn't have to hold water. In fact, it MUST NOT (in the RFC2119 sense) hold water. I've got to go find some bricks so I can raise it a couple of inches off the ground, just to give the water an easy way out.

I left the bunghole open to drain rainwater out of it. For most of today's burn I just had a regular fan pointing at the air inlet, and it was ok, but when I switched my shop vac from suck to blow and put the hose in the air inlet, it accelerated the burn so much that I couldn't stand the heat even from several feet away. When I got inside I discovered that it had begun singing my hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes. Yowza! Now that I've played around a bit, I think the final configuration is going to have a dryer vent pipe permanently attached to the air inlet, with a diverter inside to make the air swirl around in a vortex. I'm going to look for a bilge blower or some other quiet air mover, because the shop vac is too loud to run for more than a few minutes. The nice thing about turbo charging a burn barrel is that when you really get it blasting, there's almost no smoke.

What I ended up not doing was, I didn't drive to Connecticut, and I didn't buy any fireworks there. Then I didn't put on a mini display for my family, including my two nieces who didn't spend the weekend with us. If I did put on a display, which I didn't, I would have chosen fountains rather than mortars; since I'm inexperienced with fireworks (since I live in NY where they're illegal) I figured I'd start with something that didn't rocket itself into the air. And of course I didn't buy sparklers. The kids really enjoyed not waving those around. Hopefully all of this will be legal next year, and I'll consider getting a bunch of mortars in pipes with electric ignition, and the whole show pre-programmed into a Raspberry Pi.

Somehow survived a 5-day ski touring trip to the Adirondacks; complete with heated cabin backpacking etc. I was yelling in the car last night "I don't want to go back to work."

Interesting. the tommies tried out which MTB has advantages... 26", 27,5", 29"

Aside that the wheel sizes the riders are more trained with seem to deliver better performance..

http://www.bikeradar.com/mtb/gear/article/how-does-mountain-bike-wheel-size-really-affect-performance-43481/

In my case, I prefer 28" on a cyclocrosser - which i'm clearly faster with than the 26" MTB
