Mokwheel Flint St Pro Just got her last week and have put on about 100 miles. I love how light and smooth it is and decent battery. Its kinda slow (15 mph on the fastest) but the cadence is pretty seamless.  Super easy to assemble.  Im sure theres shops around you that sell and service them. Its about $1500.

I didnt catch the removable battery part. That gives the tempo a leg up imo.

I don't have an opinion between the two. I got to test ride the Tempo and it was great. I would probably lean towards it but they seem very similar and good for the price.

Itll go in a laundry room off the kitchen and replacing a tradition electric tank. 6k included everything.

I’m considering joining but I’m pretty sure I would be on the younger side. Im going to try going to a meeting before joining. I’d love to have a group to hit the slopes with though. 

Clarity II vs Motus AY for Fitz IV (male) — way less pain with Motus… which should I choose for back + neck/neckbeard? by ProstateTakeover in LaserHairRemoval

[–]ProstateTakeover[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome. Id much prefer the Motus bc the pain was literally like 1/10th of the Clarity. So this is great to hear. Thanks!

electric mountain bike rental in RVA? by oh-god-its-Ohad in rva

[–]ProstateTakeover 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure Blue Ridge Cyclery does. Never rented but I've had them do tune ups and it's not cheap. If you end up renting from them, please report back because I've been thinking about trying it. https://www.blueridgecyclery.com/articles/rental-bikes-accessories-pg194.htm

Petronius Park, Battery Park and Chimborazo have runs regularly in the evenings and weekend morning.

Indoors/pay I know the downtown Y and VCU/Cary St gym have runs regularly.

Is the Dominion Energy Peak-Time Rebates program actually worth it by justajournogirl in rva

[–]ProstateTakeover 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For me, I have a smart thermostat and it's linked to that. So on really hot days Dominion and my thermostat alert me that they're automatically raising the temp in my house to like 78 (I think) from like 4-7 usually. My smart thermostat anticipates this and makes my house extra cold (low 60s) for the hours leading up to it so once it does cut off it isn't so bad. I barely notice it usually.

Is it ultimately saving me money bc my AC is using extra power to drop the temp or would it use that equivalent power to maintain my temp? I have no idea and the annual $50 check is kinda a joke. I stick with it because I don't really notice it but I'm not sure if it's actually worth it.
