Had a get-together with some other parents from my daughter's Japanese kindergarten. The Rad Power bike on the left belongs to one of them. Great to have company!

I really, really, REALLY want to buy an e-bike (for years!), but have no place to ride it. I live in an Austin suburb, in a large subdivision approximately 3 miles from our downtown. But there is no safe way to ride there, since the connecting road has a 50-60 mph speed limit. Can't justify the expense just to ride around my neighborhood. Convince me that I am wrong, please!

Guess I'm taking the bus today.

A new friend has joined the bike shed.
My first time trying out a fat tire bike, and I can definitely see how the soft ride would be attractive on city streets.
If you’d like to borrow it some time to try it out, let me know!
