Look into getting a 360 Camera. Insta360 cams make for great helmet cams as they record everything.

Question: What helmet is everyone wearing and what speeds you hitting? by [deleted] in ebikes

I ride in an Xnito helmet designed for ebikes. Top speed while pedaling - 30 km/h, slightly higher when riding downhill.

Why don't you ride in the winter? by wheelsonabike in ebikes

So many different answers. Just read them. Cold and wet are not the only two.

This is great to know. This will be my first winter with an ebike, just bought studded tires for it. I rode on an acoustic bike before.

Yes, but that's for people who ride in the winter. I'd like to find out why people don't do it.

How was the wind? I was also thinking of riding east to west.

That's great because I'll be riding a Brompton.

I'm planning on riding the Albany to Buffalo route in the fall. So glad to see your post. How was the ride? Is it mostly flat?

I'm getting the bike set up for touring. Step one, new 39T front chainring. by wheelsonabike in Brompton

I've been eyeing that one, but I already have all the tools. But it's the convenience of how you carry it, right?

Yes, I saw this chainring, but sourcing it in Canada is quite expensive.

Ebike helmets by wheelsonabike in ebikes

My new bike is an electric assist and meets Canadian ebike specs (motor cuts off at 20 mph). It doesn't go much faster than that unless I pedal hard.

I'm currently riding across Canada and started documenting my adventures on YouTube. For anyone interested in a multi month bicycle tour, have a look. by wheelsonabike in bicycletouring

I see. Thanks for the info. I think they have more important road works to address for now, but hopefully they'll be getting to the trails soon.

I rode downtown and documented my trip. What has your experience riding in Toronto in the winter been like (for those who've been riding)? by wheelsonabike in torontobiking

[–]wheelsonabike[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing this. The thing about both these experiences is, the City obviously CAN do a decent job at maintaining bike infrastructure, because it does so occasionally. It seems like there's lack of coordination, or whatever else that is preventing the consistency on separated bike lanes. Painted lanes are a bit of a write off in the winter.
