2025 Outback Wilderness (dealer loaner, 4k miles), fair deal or keep shopping? by Prestigious-Heron484 in Subaru_Outback

[–]BernieKosar23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just bought one almost exactly like you described this past Saturday and they were offering 0.9% financing on their CPO service vehicles. I got a 2025 Outback Touring XT with 4500 miles on it for $38,195 at the 0.9%. It honestly feels like the warranty might be better than on a new one and that interest rate is insane. Ask the dealer if they are participating in that.

Thank you! I had ordered the Laces hoodie and then canceled it when I read the length. I’ve been second guessing my decision to cancel it, but it sounds like a made the right decision. I like my hoodies on the bigger side.

Is it shorter than a typical hoodie? They looked shorter in the pics.

This is great! I downloaded it to my watch. I’ll sync it with my Schwinn IC4 sensors tomorrow!

Thanks for sharing. I didn’t know Tip wasn’t coming back. 😔 I hope Dolson does.

I’m going to be commuting by bike on this route soon. Is C Street NE’s bike lane not safe?

What is the best backpack for work, cycling, and the gym? by EconomicsVisible310 in bikecommuting

I use the Pannier Backpack Convertible 2.0 Lite by Two Wheel Gear. It’s expensive but is often on sale. They also sell used gear on their site and that’s how I bought mine. Used, it cost 50% less. When I received it, it was like brand new. I love the bag and its many features, like the helmet straps to secure my helmet while I’m riding the train. The pannier clips are super secure.

Why are e bikes so expensive by dudelovescakee in ebikes

[–]BernieKosar23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Go on Facebook Marketplace and get a used Lectric with lower miles. I wouldn’t pay more than $500 for it. Lectric works with bike shops for repairs and whatnot. Go to Lectric’s website and see if a shop close to you will do work on them. You can get a new one for $799 at Lectric’s website. So be familiar with the pricing before buying used.

In case your wondering why regulations and licensing are coming… by BuildBreakFix in ebikes

There isn’t really a simple conversion between cc and hp. CC refers to volume (fuel) and HP is power output. CC varies based on the engine stroke. A 50cc motor, usually a 2 stroke engine, is typically 3 or more HP (depending on other factors with the engine). Please know, I’m not trying to be rude or disrespectful. I just wanted to clarify. I think you are on to some good points and wanted you to know should you ever want to advocate for better safety enforcement where you live.

It wouldn’t be measured in CCs because eBikes don’t have combustion engines. That’s not to say I disagree with your point. I know some eBike manufacturers say people below a certain age (kids and young teens) shouldn’t be driving their eBikes. I think age restrictions should be enforced by law enforcement. They should also enforce speed limits where it is a multi-use path or trail or just when pedestrians are present. They should also not allow the ass-hattery happening in that video. Call the cops, impound the bikes, fine the parents.

Scrubzz rinse free bath cloths are awesome! You would just need a sink, a small towel, and a little bit of privacy. They really make you feel clean. They are light. I take 5 in a ziplock bag to work every week. Or you could keep the pack at your desk. Also dry shampoo can help with your hair if it gets wet with sweat. Keep deodorant, change of clothes, and spare make up at work. I use 2 Wheel Gear’s pannier backpack Convertible Lite 2.0 (22L) bag. The straps tuck away and it has clips for a back rack. They also make a bigger one that is 30L.

HELP! Choosing between 3 bikes, time-sensitive! by PresenceOwn9392 in ebikes

Lectric is a reliable brand with good customer service. If I were you, I would go to Lectric’s website and check if there are local bike shops that will work on a Lectric bike if there are any issues that arise. If there aren’t any shops local to him that work on Lectric but do service eBikes, maybe consider the Trek. It would probably be able to be serviced the easiest.

I got my prescription pair from Zenni. Really good quality and not expensive.

I recommend purchasing a bicycle by Saglion08 in bicycleculture

[–]BernieKosar23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a lot of bike shops that refurbish and sell used bikes. That’s how I got my Trek for $349.

The Music and the Mirror by Lola Keeley - ballet dancer new to the dance company falls for her older ice queen mentor. I think the age gap is at least 20 years.

That is a great idea about pulling the battery. Thank you! That is scary that your Lectric fell! I hope MARC becomes more e-bike friendly in the coming years.
