Popular Post Moltimondi Posted April 7, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted April 7, 2018 I am madly in LOVE with the ACM2 ! Handles differently than the Tesla, I find it more stable and yet more agile. I also find it more aesthetically appealing.It's a very simple and yet stylish wheel. But I will admit my bias, the ACM was my first Gotway Wheel and one always returns to one's first love 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 (edited) @Marty Backe I think you've posted that video before, but it's a goodie. We razzed you about riding the on-loan KS18 backwards. Edit: Oh nevermind - that was @n2eus's video from a different perspective.

I absolutely did not post this video before, considering that I just finished making it a couple of hours ago. They all blend together after awhile, but I still make them for those who are new to our sport 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Moltimondi Posted April 8, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted April 8, 2018 (edited) Recco, Italy group ride. It was a nice sunny day, we started from Recco in the italian region of Liguria where you can taste the best focaccia ever, we climbed a mountain and ended up in Genova and after lunch we went back to Recco. It was a total of 65 kilometers of pure fun Edited April 8, 2018 by Moltimondi 9 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried it once to great effect once riding back from the grocery store. Except my makeshift flag was a baguette. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, and by the end of the ride you had munched on the baguette so much that it was only a quarter the size of when you started 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to wait till I could add a load of butter at home! Some bastard did hit the end of it with their mirror though. I think it was deliberate. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 (edited) I've had the exact thing happen to me, and the dog chased me for quite a distance. Now I slowly pass them and be sure to make eye contact with their owner to let them know I'm passing by. Usually owners will grab their collars or have them sit while I pass. I don't know if it's the speed thing or surprising them, but they instinctively want to give chase. I remember your other video with the little dog chasing as you were making the climb to Griffith Park. But tell us the truth - was there any temptation to swing the selfie-stick to the side and go "Whack!?" That would have created a neat camera rotating pan effect...

I think it's the combination of "WHEEL!!!", "FAST!!!" and the high pitched whine that is probably almost deafening to a dog... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything happens way to fast to do anything but focus on riding the wheel without crashing. That other dog was much bigger than this guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's only one true solution to that problem, and it's riding in the middle of the lane. People can't overtake you dangerously close if they can't overtake you at all. No mercy Sometimes only that works. You can always slow down and go to the side and let them overtake, but then you control when, and their speed is lower. (Remembering when one asshole hit my bike handle with his rear view mirror one time, miraculously I didn't fall.)

That girl with the bare knees It was a fun ride for sure.. temperature excursion was pretty significant from sea level to the mountain, kind of like going from summer to winter. In terms of safety guards, personally I always wear helmet and knees pad as minimum. The girl with bare knees lives in Italy but she is originally from Moscow, maybe that explains her being so accustomed to low temperatures 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
