Popular Post winterwheel Posted September 2, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2018 (edited) From our road trip today. This is at a waypoint overlooking the river and with downtown Edmonton in the background. Welcome to Edmsuper who made it out with his awesome new MSX. From left to right we have AdamS, me ( @yegwheel ), @Edmkingsong and @Edmsuper. Sadly, only three of us made it all the way to Rundle. (We lost Edmsuper to time commitments.)

I mounted the camera at an height of three meters. So I had to climb a bit, just a little bit . It's easy get to the "drone feeling" on a low heights with a wide-angle lens.

Bob Eisenman Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 (edited) On 8/30/2018 at 12:32 PM, Bob Eisenman said: Perhaps a powered mobility chair for those long distances I passed a mobility chair rider yesterday while riding a downhill stretch of route 62 in Beverly on my Monster. The rider was a double hand amputee (or born without them) and a chest strapped rig of some kind could be seen from behind before his loss of hands became evident. He took to the sidewalk to get out of the wide shoulder on the street a block before I passed him in the street lane. Beveled sidewalk curbstone entrances at intersections make the ride (bicycle, EUC, mobility chair) negotiable by either the sidewalk or the street. His chair moved erratically a little from side to side as he moved forward, initially on the street. We quickly looked at each other as I passed him (in the street shoulder/bike lane) and he started laughing in an excited way and shouted something that I could'nt really hear. I think we were both feeling some adrenaline with the streets downhill slope presenting a moving challenge to safety with the passing cars. I stopped at the grocery store a few blocks away and when I exited the grocery store he had arrived in his mobility chair too. He was talking with a woman who spoke at length with him about her health problems while he was standing up with a bag hanging from his hand 'hook' at his side. 'I'm waiting for a friend to pick me up', he said to the woman as his mobility chair sat parked behind him.

Popular Post Marty Backe Posted September 8, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 8, 2018 Enjoyed a late afternoon ride along the beach with @csmyers and his 2-day old ACM2. Me? I was giving my MSuper V3s+ some love since it's been neglected of late because of my incoming new wheels. 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw, I looked up the law the ranger cited, and it actually doesn't make distinction between bikes and motorized vehicles. See below, it's the top one, #16. At least we weren't breaking #20 :-) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there are signs to that affect, than there are massive numbers of bicyclists which are breaking that rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we should be fine on those since the rule doesn't differentiate between bikes and us. Edited September 9, 2018 by noisycarlos 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I was setting up my video shoot yesterday at a metro park I was approached by a female ranger. I was donning riding gear alongside my truck when the ranger stopped her vehicle. She politely asked me if I needed any help. Explaining that I would be shooting some video with my drone and selfie stick she stated that drones were not allowed in the park unless I had a special waiver. Complete news to me and there are no posted signs. I cordially gave my assurance that I would not fly the drone. Probably best I did not show her my Z10. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to print it and have it handy for the next time we're stopped on the paved road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
