    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!

She recently got me hooked on Dr. Gabe Mirkin who is a retired physician who has... more

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
