LanghamP Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 I passed this bicyclist having great difficulty getting up a hill that isn't all that steep. Upon closer inspection I think he was riding a single-speed bicycle, so I pulled out my camera to see if other forum members can verify that. (I could probably have simply asked him but he looked kinda busy) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I could probably have simply asked him but he looked kinda busy) No brakes. No visible cables. No derailleur. Thats a fixie alright. I don't quite understand the obsession with them. Simple. Yes. And I like simplicity. But one gear does not fit all circumstances. I also believe no brake is technically illegal in most places and relying on standing on the pedal and only the rear wheel braking you can be quite useless for emergency stops. Still, if it makes him happy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They use it too dump plowed snow from trucks in the winter during storms. The snow melts and goes out with the tide. A few miles off shore is a LNG off shore loading port where LNG tankers park, the submerged off loader platform is connected and the product feeds into PVC pipeline for distribution on shore. There is almost always a tanker (in sight but not in the beach photos view) loaded with LNG tethered to the off loader platform which rests a few feet below the surface. Public mailings to coastal residents in the area (who might ride boats around the submerged pipeline) instruct any who might find bubbles leaking to the surface to call a certain number and to stay away from the submerged platform area while boating. The power plant in Salem used to burn coal to generate electricity. They (the power company) have switched to LNG and torn down the tall chimney. Many coastal communities have laid PVC pipe to transport and distribute LNG from the submerged platform since it is price competitive in the winter with oil. My Ninebot battery barely gets me to the mass transit subway in Revere (before the battery management issues a speed tilt back) so I guess that's why I didn't ride on the beach in So Cal style. Much of my riding of the EUC is to 'look around' the area without using a car. That's probably why my videos lack artistic interest. I'm just cruising on the EUC to places in range. Here at the BPL (Boston Public Library) I spent the afternoon processing and uploading a merged 360 video from 4 separate videos. I couldn't find a music track of tracks that seemed appropriate so when it uploads completely in another hour I'll post it despite its artistic pitfalls. The whole video (2.75 GB) will be 360 viewable which you find freaky ....so maybe you should just skip it. note of update: as of last year a decommissioning request from 'Neptune' which has another LNG port in Everett was filed: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said that Neptune LNG filed for a permit to decommission the Neptune Deepwater LNG port in U.S. waters off the coast of Marblehead, Massachusetts http://www.lngworldnews.com/neptune-lng-seeking-permit-to-decommission-deepwater-lng-port/ Edited September 27, 2017 by Bob Eisenman add content 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much the same mod as marvellously explained by Slaughthammer here: Right away I rode the exact same trip I've done a few dozen times. At 9•C temperature I usually haven't been able to complete the trip, but after the mod I still had 32% of battery left!

EUCing is not a warm/good weather only activity at all! I rode 7 days per week throughout the entire winter last year. I wore thermal underwear, balaclava, gloves, etc. Three days I did not ride because of snow. I realize in some areas this would absolutely not be possible. However, here in SC, braving the winter cold is definitely possible and almost as enjoyable as summer riding! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have no idea how interesting your photo is given that I read about your posts, your intention to attend car day and your actually being in Paris, France rather than Bavaria. I noticed that the high rise buildings were to the right of the Eiffel tower. That led me to find 'Parc de St. Cloud' on Google Earth as the photo location. Thanks for sharing the view of Paris and the Eiffel Tower. Many stock photos looking straight down the garden area from that location appear to 'not show' the Eiffel Tower which appears when viewed from the bench where your ECU's are displayed. https://imgoat.com/uploads/0c7c76d30b/49175.png https://imgoat.com/uploads/0c7c76d30b/49176.png Edited October 8, 2017 by Bob Eisenman Sp 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 @Bob Eisenman Haha, you're a good detective. It is indeed the "Parc de St Cloud". The platform next to the stairs in the lower right of the first screenshot you posted is exactly where the photo happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 (edited) Here's two more photos that are more centered. Before I knew the view from the right side has the Eiffel Tower in it.

meepmeepmayer Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 @Bob Eisenman There's a website where you have to guess from Google Maps locations what the place is.

Back in the 1980's I worked in a boarding school. The French language instructor was a Bryn Mawr (college for women) graduate. During certain free evening hours we 'teachers' would gather to play cards instead of driving to the mall. Ms Fleming was known for her wild enthusiasm for playing poker and her large bids (pennies). My 'niece' was very young at the time and resided at a 'farm' at the school where my sister lived. Like many language instructors the Bryn Mawr graduate took a group of students to the country where their instructed language was the native tongue. She sent me a post card from 'Nice France' during one summers trip. My French language pronunciation back then was not terribly swift but you get the idea. Thanks for the url.
