Subject: Merry Christmas and Happy New Year - vid-group-link Hi Dale, Thanks for listening. I think you’d enjoy these… over 50 vids with my dog & the EUC… many (such as #22, 49-51 at the beautiful park we love, 11-12 the Nationals, 18 at SU, etc). And yea, I choose to burn gas and drive to the church rather than risking my life on RT 370… Drive to the dog-park rather than risk my dog on Rt370 & Long Branch. Praying for the concepts: 1. access for responsible skilled riders with pets such as me, 2. better rules for congestion/events/safety-concerns you described. 3. Complete the trail around the lake 4. Ebikes like lime as rentals for around the lake 5. Access for people like my father to trailer his electric golf cart and ride around the lake (see my vid #s40-44). 6. Easier commutes vie electrified Personal Mobility Devices 7. Special volunteer coaches/deputies such as you mentioned you once had for new roller-blade riders. Respectfully, and Blessings to you, yours, and our park! Elliott Really wish i could ride with my Aussie and border collie, but they a lil too misbehaved. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly didn't dissect the wheel if that's what you're asking. This comes up every year that I do this. Our wheels are not delicate wildflowers that will shrivel up after a little exposure to salt-water. You rinse the wheel off (rinse, not hose it off) with fresh water when you get home and ride another day. There is so much beautiful riding to be done with our wheels. Why limit yourself because of fear from a little wear and tear? 2 hours ago, Brandin J.

Everything is a delicate wildflower when it comes to salt water and mist. I rode my bike several times just like in your video - it's now all rusted, although it stayed several years rust-free before that. I flew my Mavic drone a couple of times over the waves creating this salty mist - all screws are rusted now. I parked my car many times on the southbound Hwy 1 near the beaches - right side of my car is now significantly more rusted than the left, from the salty mist blowing from the ocean. Everyone who visited SF knows these massive chains: The motors in our wheels are not sealed. The magnets inside are very, very rust-happy. Eventually, there so much rust inside that the motor stops spinning altogether: (see more here: https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=34135#p495984) PCB boards are very prone to corrosion, and salty mist definitely gets inside our wheels. Dendrites starts to grow between components and eventually make a short somewhere. 2 hours ago, Marty Backe said: There is so much beautiful riding to be done with our wheels.

It won't happen right then, on the beach ride, it may happen months later when you least expect it.

I suggest that you never ride near the water. But I'll continue to have fun 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
