    Ford Fathom haz a kewl capability

    Let me know when you actually see them sold and on the road at that price, not just manufacturers talking about them. Anybody remember the $20K Maverick truck?

    Theoretically speaking, I'd be careful what states you pass through in said bear protection device holder mode.

    Fridge / Cooler Electric Cooler and Bears

    I've always wanted to come back to camp and find a bear checking out the 560. No luck yet. But that's the photo I'm still chasing. For the record, I absolutely do not bait them.

    As far as storing things in the galley of the CI, I would for sure check with the campground you are visiting for specific rules. That said here's my experience.... I've camped in Yosemite many times before and after owning a CI. When I asked at the campground, I was specifically told a hard...

    No doubt shocks help smooth the ride as well as fatter tires. At the end of the day it kinda comes down to weighing all the trade offs among the brands and models. I just went out today and test rode an Aventon Pace 5 Rec. I'll be trying some others too before making any decisions. No hurry.

    For sure the shorter wheelbase will make it more twitchy. The stiffness is something I would feel at my wrists and through my upper body as the road vibrations and all the bumps come up through the front wheel and handle bars. And Lord help you if you happened to roll over a small pot hole.

    For sure a suspension seat post is mandatory. I have that on my full size ebike now which also has a suspension fork. Tire width is a good point. I'll have to look into my old one and what the new bikes are now offering.

    Do you guys ever find the 20" wheels causing a stiffer ride even on shorter distances? My old 20" folding bike (non ebike) was really a stiff ride even around the neighborhood and with the lighter weight of a non ebike. It wasn't a lot of fun to ride. I'd like to replace my current full size...

    I Finally Bit the Bullet

    My 2017 Rav4 hybrid is being put out to pasture. It served me well but I've been wanting something newer for a while. After doing a lot of research on finding the right vehicle for ME and recognizing that the vast majority of my driving does not involve towing a trailer, I ended up with...

    Our Big Trip Out West - National Parks & Monuments

    Well, the mural room is also at the Jackson Lake lodge but they don’t serve breakfast. Only the Pioneer Grill does. I camp at Colter Bay but definitely hang out a lot at the Jackson Lake lodge. Especially on rainy days. LoL
