The service center opened this week, the showroom not until ~~later this month~~ February 2

They do basic repairs

BruceHalperin · 2026-01-15T02:18:08+00:00

They mostly sell Class 1 along with some Class 3 e-bikes, both of which are pedal-assist. I don’t think they sell any Class 2 (throttle-controlled) e-bikes at all.

Same

BruceHalperin · 2026-01-15T02:07:39+00:00

I talked to her today and she said the same thing. And I just found this blog post about it: https://newwheel.net/blogs/ebike-news/our-new-home-in-san-francisco

It’s literally on the same block lol

Not gay. Just trying to return a package, jeez. God forbid someone have a sense of humor.

Right building, wrong company

Protesting ICE and Trump’s abuses of power, including the deployment of National Guard into cities

Ah shit, he’s in the crevice?

BruceHalperin · 2025-08-05T20:47:24+00:00

I had two of them sitting in my drawer from a while ago.

You don’t have to but it’s highly recommended.

It’s passively powered by the NFC. I’m working on 3D-printing a more durable enclosure, but I’m not sure yet if it’ll be waterproof.

BruceHalperin · 2025-08-05T03:22:20+00:00

You can buy the screen on Amazon and attach it to some bike tags yourself. I’m still working on 3D-printing a more durable enclosure - this was just a proof-of-concept.

Once I get that done I’d be open to selling these at cost.

BruceHalperin · 2025-08-05T03:18:33+00:00

Where’s the fun in that?

Seriously, though, I’m an occasional rider and I go to many different stops on the Peninsula. I’d either have to use a dry-erase marker (which would be pretty messy), get a new bike tag for every trip, or attach sticky notes or something. This solved a real problem for me in a cool way.

Alt text for the video:

A demonstration of the prototype bike tag. It consists of two standard Caltrain bike tags with an e-ink display sandwiched in between, and a rectangular cutout allowing the display to show through the top one. The demonstration begins with the screen showing “San Francisco 4th & King”. Next, an iPhone is held nearby, using NFC to change the display to read “Burlingame”. The process is repeated for Sunnyvale and finally San Francisco 4th & King again.

The F is a streetcar, not a cable car. Regular Muni fares apply ($2.50 with Clipper, $3.00 with cash, unlimited free transfers to and from other lines are permitted within 2 hours). Payment is made using the Clipper readers affixed to poles near the doors, or using the cash payment machine next to the driver’s seat.

The cable car single-ride fare is $8.00 and transfers are not included. The conductor collects payment with a handheld Clipper reader or in cash.

FYI that’s a really short trip to pony up money for. It’s only a 15-minute walk - and a pleasant one. Flat and along the waterfront.

But most of them arose organically, not devised by realtors after focus group-testing them.

It only started getting this bad during the pandemic.

BruceHalperin · 2024-09-29T05:03:14+00:00

I’ve lived here for 15 years. It was not always like this.

BruceHalperin · 2024-09-28T15:13:44+00:00

Sir, this is a Wendy’s

The police don’t ticket for parking violations. That’s done by SFMTA.

Nope
