f you dump your bike like this, you need to know that it could be dangerous for anyone who is old, disabled, and/or mobility impaired. Park it properly!
I took my new electric bike out on its first run today! Very exciting :-) It felt comfortable, rode well, was great to have the power assistance for the hills, but also great to be able to have it turned off when I didn't need it. Just need to figure out how to change the LCD to miles, not Km, as I really don't 'do' kilometres!
Update on the Lucas front, from Bethan - he had a much better night, sleeping through until 5am! :-)
Heading for Kildare Road, St Annes, NCT 222 ascends The Wells Road, Nottingham on the Blue Line 41 service. The bus is one of the 24 Chinese built Yutong electric buses currently operating in the City.
The first of these buses (201-212) entered service from January 2024. The second batch 213-224 arrived in April 2024, entering service in the May. They can be found working on various routes in the City to which they are allocated by their colour coded liveries.

Nomad Cycles is the new spin-off from Ecospeed. Nomad is owned by Brad Davis. He makes and sells one of the best electric-assist kits on the market. Add it to any bike and it will change your life!
First was 1 Michael Rutter on 2012 Motoczysz Elpc riding for Team Segway Racing MotoCzysz he took 21minutes and 45.33 seconds to finish the course with an average speed of 104.056 mph which means he get a Silver replica and £10000 for being the first to do more than 100mph for the lap. He did 153.02 on the Sulby straight..... not bad for an electric bike!
Second was 3 John McGuinness riding a MUGEN Shinden for Team MUGEN he completed the course in 22 minutes 08.85sec, with an average speed of 102.215mph he gets a Silver replica.
Third was 2 Mark Miller on another 2012 Motoczysz Elpc also riding for Team Segway Racing MotoCzysz he too 22 minutes 23.97sec with an average speed of 101.065mph he gets a Silver replica.
It was disappointing to see that there were only 4 bikes which completed the course this year. Some didn't even start! Hopefully next year's will be better. Maybe one day they will be able to do more than one lap!
Testing a NZ-designed e-bike for Bike Friendly North Shore. I had time to stop and take this photo after passing a group of roadies on the way to work this morning.
Road Rage freak, I think angry that the northbound Douglas Street Bike/Bus lane was faster moving than his lane, not really sure. All he said was, "Yeah, I saw you driving down that lane!" He then drove his truck into the rear of my bike.
While I dialed 911 he left the scene.
Hoosier needs his head checked.
I'm a 3rd recent case of an intentional assault with a vehicle upon a cyclist, and as far as I'm aware, the suspect is known but no charges or arrest have taken place. My incident does not appear as severe as the two young people mentioned in your article, and at 59, I am older than the other victims of pick-up truck road rage.
My motorist just threatened me twice with his truck from behind, and then on the third time he struck my rear tire. Traffic was jammed up for two blocks and stopped in front of me, I had nowhere to go. I was standing when he drove into me, so my mobility aid (ebike) took the impact, and my disability was only slightly injured; but it is the same anger, entitlement, and alarming disregard for human life from yet another pick-up truck driver.
_____________________________
UPDATE:
The truck driver, Joel Mulatz, turned himself in.
I've submitted my statement and photos of the incident to the police, but I've heard nothing back yet, 12 days later, when I posted this update.
Over 2 weeks have passed and still no word from the investigating officer who has not responded or even confirmed receipt of my many emails containing the requested evidence and victim statement.
My eChopper's computer is fried and one battery appears dead. I've managed to get it to sorta function now, but it's under powered and only travels much shorter distances.
I did speak with an officer on the desk who provided me with the VicPD File #17-14967 - and revealed that there appears to be no other information in the file than what I provided.
Is it any wonder the VicPD have a reputation for one of the worst crime-solving rates of all police departments in Canada.
_____________________________
UPDATE 2:
The cop got back to me and said:
"The crown prosecutor has gotten back to me on this matter and Criminal Charges have not been approved. The reason provided was that there was no corroborating evidence, two different versions of what happened, and therefore no substantial likelihood of a conviction."
"My file is now concluded and no further action will be taken at this time. I will not be issuing any violation tickets under the Motor vehicle Act in this matter."

So far my family is loving the combination of Yuba Mundo + Burley Piccolo + Bread Basket.
Baskets have that great throw-and-go quality and my wife remarked what a difference she notices from my daughter's pedaling contribution. In fact, she used very little electric assist on this trip, even though carrying around the electric gear as dead weight adds about another 30 lbs of weight.
The whole thing seemed to handle well despite the overall weight and 10 foot length.
The electric assist was still welcome when overcoming inertia on hill starts, or quickly entering a traffic stream.
A new eChopper will hopefully be rolling in less than a week.
I'm machining metal parts and the woodwork for the battery mount and "tanks" - but the new Heavy Metal eChopper is starting to rock and begging to roll.
It took a while to salvage the hard wood from inside the old piano, but the dirty work is done and the, apparently, yellow cedar is in excellent shape and should suit this west coast built eChopper well.
Long & Low is the Way to Roll.

I’m currently camped in the San Bernardino National Forest at a yellow-post (dispersed) campsite.
Just a few miles away is a sizable lake/reservoir with a well-maintained dirt road to ride on after the pavement ends. The dirt road gets you almost to the end of the lake before coming to an end itself. All along the way there are scenic views of San Bernardino National Forest and the mountains beyond. I’m particularly fond of pines and lakes, and in terms of ecosystems, they are my absolute fave.
I hung out on the shoreline for about two hours. I walked barefoot, waded in the water, ate lunch, and just took in the beauty all around me.
New additions to the bike include the long-awaited back-ordered rear rack, a Kenda knobby tire on the front, a saddlebag, seat pad, mirror, bike pump, and a new helmet.
I also built a little box out of half-inch Baltic birch to go on the rack. It holds my pack okay with a bungee, but I’m starting to think I should’ve made the sides another 2 or 3 inches higher.
I’m really enjoying my electric bike. When I first got it I didn’t pedal very much and just relied on the battery, but now I’m focused on exercise and pedaling as much as possible. If the riding surface is flat, I just need the lowest level of pedal assist, only needing extra power on the hills.
The new electric assist Brompton is due to go on sale early 2018. Pop into Phoenix Cycles Battersea to arrange a test ride.
Prototype built last weekend. I threw a backpack into the cargo box to make it look like we're going camping with this bike, but I think the photo would've looked better with the box empty.
The 60 watt photovoltaic array on top of the cargo lid provides enough power to run the electric assist at about 8 MPH on level ground all day in full sun. The intended use is as a range extender for the battery, which provides 20+ miles of electric assist at about 20 MPH without the solar charging.
I cant ride with pedal power because I need new knees.. but I can ride this! delivery expected Thursday night
Right before sunset, I took my new electric bike up the hill to the glorious Coyote Ridge in the Marin headlands. I love riding during that golden hour, which makes the whole landscape glow like embers, while cool tendrils of fog settle on the mountain, and the night’s dark shadows creep in from the valley below.
I started down by Tennessee Valley Beach, climbed straight up the hill to the Coastal Trail, overlooking Muir Beach. Then I trekked inland to rejoin the legendary Miwok Trail, up to Coyote Ridge’s majestic overlook, where I stopped to take a few pix and panoramas. From there, it was a smooth joyride down County View and the darkening Tam Valley below.
My Benno Boost handled that steep ride well, rolling smoothly over the rocky paths, giving me just the extra lift I needed to get a vigorous exercise without running out of breath. Even though it’s designed to casual everyday use, that is one rugged bike and I now ride it every chance I get. I still had a 20% charge left on my battery, and it only took a couple hours to recharge.
As we now have to stay isolated from each other to prevent the coronavirus from spreading, I feel incredibly lucky that I live in a place where I can find my bliss outdoors in such a magnificent natural setting. And I still got a chance to connect with a few bikers and hikers on the trail, but with enough distance than none of us were at risk.
I love that biking helps us connect with our neighbors, scaling back our transportation to a more human scale -- and inviting us to live more lightly on the earth. Vive le velo électrique!

The bike in the photo is an electric one, essentially a bicycle with a small motor. A helmet might not be required by law, but I wouldn't get on my bike without one.
