    Still a fan but admittedly had doubts on whether ebike touring is appealing. So far, so good except please Tim ditch the hipster ACOUSTIC bike term!

I particularly enjoyed the latest podcast episode on California. I was very pleased to find out that he used the Santa Anna River Trail. It was great for us to finally share a common trip location! I was working in Fullerton CA for a little over 3 months in 1987. When I found out this trail was nearby I had my wife ship me my bike. It arrived unsc... more
