Retrovertigo Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 (edited) @Marty BackeI apologise for going off-topic and maybe sounding ignorant, but what are those sort of viaduct things you are riding alongside? I only ever see car chases in them on TV over here. Are they supposed to have water in them? Also to all Americans that post videos here.....you have such beautiful places to ride along. I'm seriously jealous. edit: I literally posted that comment above just as you said "I guess they know there isn't going to be any rain"...question answered Edited August 2, 2019 by Retrovertigo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm seriously jealous. In Southern California, all of the natural rivers were covered in cement in the 1950's as flood control measures. They have bicycle paths on one or both sides. One of these rivers passes within a 1/4-mile from my house. I can hop on it and go literally over a hundred miles. Usually sometime in the early spring we will get enough rain that sometimes water is flowing and within a few feet of the path that I'm riding - a huge amount of water. 90-percent of the year they are empty.

Retrovertigo Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 That's pretty amazing that they concreted all the rivers! Something for me to look up on YouTube. I follow you on YouTube and really appreciate your videos mate. The Slime in the Z10 was especially useful for my own purposes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Towards the end of the video that I just published above you can see me riding in the bottom. The perfect place to go fast and not be bothered by anyone Thanks for the nice words. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when I'm not climbing hills it rarely triggers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mike Sacristan Posted August 3, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 3, 2019 A long cruise yesterday... forever alone. 19 PSI, 66kg riding weight, 50km cruise, 55% battery left, some speeding and some low speed chilling. Today I will ride with some friends though. Tobbe (Nikola 100V), Pierre (18XL), Nils (Nikola 84v). 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should note though that the alarm for me triggers easily on low speed hard brakes, dropping off curbs or rocks, etc. - hence the need for a sustained current alarm in Wheellog. I think it's just much more noticeable with the bluetooth alarms compared to having a pebble watch, so you really notice each one that you get. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Alien Rides Posted August 5, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2019 EUCs in our mixed-PEV footage are growing, here's some footage of our recent group ride.

Retrovertigo Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 @Alien Rideswhat is the very first scooter in that video? I'm after a scooter at the moment for my Saturday morning shopping run. I love the look of that one. I'm not confident enough yet to ride my EUC to the shops, and then ride back with my weight distribution completely changed with a heavy rucksack on my back! When there was a whole bunch of you riding near the end of the video, it just made me think how awesome it would be if that is how the roads looked with people going to work in the mornings. It gave me a 60's hippy vibe, when people were carefree and just enjoyed themselves 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
