The Viewmaster doesn't have straps so it needs to be held to your eyes. The inexpensive headset I use appears to no longer be available, but here's another in the same price range, with straps and foam for more extended use: http://amzn.to/2EVBmto 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome job! You will definately enjoy this hobby. I see you had a tether strap. Excellent way to perfect your riding skills without the worry of dumping the wheel. The downside is you miss out of some amazing dances the wheels will perform as they flail about the ground.

I originally thought the front spots were for dual headlights. It's great to see that he's having a good time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Rehab1 Posted January 20, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted January 20, 2018 What is with this Michigan weather? Make up your damn mind. I prepared myself for snow riding and the temperature decides to turn warm. Oh well....A brief video experimenting my new studded pedals and knobby tire in some snow. I'm extremely satisfied with the pedal mods. No foot slippage what so ever. Let It Snow! 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Persona Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 (edited) Warm weather also near chicago ,so broke out the monster thinking I would ride to get food and had to ride down the most busy street in my town. I thought I would be able to ride the sidewalk but still lots of snow that was piled up in areas with patches of ice in between and had me second guessing my ride. Took my chances in the street with traffic , but after seeing your ride am impressed . By the way Im riding a monster with stock tire . The scary part was the shine on the road that could be either water or ice. Just had to comment , nice riding skills ! Agree with marty I LOVE my monster !

You almost (I said almost) made me wish that I had some snow to ride it. That does look like a blast. Probably funner to ride on that field with snow than without, right? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not want to encounter ice with any tire except maybe a studded one. I think your Monster would do well in the snow with a knobby. Your clearance would be advantageous in deeper snow.

The snowy field( backyard) was definately more entertaining than riding on just grass. Edited January 21, 2018 by Rehab1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3rd alarm (generally referred to as the 80% power alarm). It means you better slow down or the wheel may cut-out due to lack of power. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does it compare to an EUC? Is it odd riding sideways? Do you need to know how to ride a skateboard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outcast00096 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 No. It’s pretty self explanatory. Riding sideways is weird after riding EUC for awhile. It’s the main ride currently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with Marty that you need to be extremely cognizant of your surroundings when riding in such a busy city. My arse clenched a little when I saw the car begin to turn. Highly skilled riding shown throughout ... Lots of traffic rules broken too . Be careful guys. I would not make any kind of progress through traffic like that. With parked cars I'm always riding 3 or 4 foot away from them putting me in the line of traffic. Slooooooow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Onymous Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 13 hours ago, Citi Wheel said: That is such cool stuff. I remember being taught to drive in NYC as "if you want to change lanes, you just drive at the car in the next lane" Looks like its a bit more polite. @houseofjob is a great rider. Always on the lookout infront, not so concerned about followers. If you are going to wear that dark Peacoat you may want to think about some blinky lights of some sort. From the waist up you look like the night. Great shot of you two overtaking bicycles as well as cars. I find that the KS18s is hard to get in a seated position thats comfortable and allows for easy acceleration and braking. You get one or the other. I am still dialing that in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houseofjob Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 @Stan Onymous Ha! thanks, unfortunately there's no blushing icon on here... and I kept forgetting to check if @Citi Wheel was keeping up as your head needs to be on a swivel to ride in NYC, looking out for all possible danger. I've been adjusting to seated riding on the KS18S, now that I have a proper working KS18 back in the fold (thanks @Jason McNeil!!). I can't slide around as well as I do on the Monster seat, as the KS18 seat is shorter, so it's been a lot of lifting my butt up and down, re-positioning onto the nose for acceleration, and the tail for cruising and braking, all while still leveraging my arm/finger to push off the front of the seat.
