Brilliant, Joe! I love it! I keep wondering when I'm going to see eMTBers
on trails. It's actually a perfect place for it in our Ute Pass area
because it's a climb to get to town and then around town (Woodland Park)
there is no flat. But on trails, most folks drive to the top in a carpool
and r
I was there - it was a whole lot of fun. The talk was funny, but a bit
short considering it started late.
The ride was the more fun part. There was plenty of stunts and other goofy
bike nonsense. The two high points were riding watching people attempt
riding down a steep downhill near Toad R
I liked the answer on e-bikes 'cause I have one and I knew it wouldn't be a
popular subject. Eben was supportive of pedal-assist on hilly commutes, which I
agree is the strongest selling point: It gets people riding bikes on routes
they would normally use a car for.
Then he launched into e-mou
I don't remember too many of the questions now, something like 'what is the
craziest city for bicycling' or 'what is the future of cycling'.
PineTarSoap's description is pretty accurate, he comes off in person as a
pretty dry, sarcastic, funny guy who lucked into making money off the blog

I went as well and the above descriptions are accurate. His blog
(BikeSnobNYC) is hilarious and while I go months forgetting to look at it,
whenever I do, I am always very amused. His focus is bikes of course, but
you wouldn't have to be that into bikes to enjoy it. He is simply a good
writer.
My take on this book (I purchased his first, and I think second, or maybe I
borrowed that one) is it recycles some of his familiar themes, such as
types of cyclists and their attitudes. It also takes fairly standard
advice--shop for a bicycle in the winter, when business is slow and you can

In New York, one does in fact get DMV points on their license after
receiving a ticket for an infraction while operating a bicycle.

Lungimsam: I think the movie was a Grant thing. It's his vibe, and Eben isn't
old enough to remember it ;)

I liked his attitude about bike racing: "Electric motors? Sure, go ahead, who
cares!" That cracked me up.
I confess, I bonked out of the ride. I've always been a slow cruiser guy, but a
few years ago I could still climb a decent hill without keeling over. This
time?..not so much. I was off the
Does one get points on their DMV record for tickets accrued while bike riding?
Or just have to pay the fine?
A bike isnt a motor vehicle or car, though the cyclist must follow the rules of
the road.So I wonder how the DMV handles that.

I was there, mostly to go for the ride after which I ended up not going on,
go figure.
I've read another of his books but not really his blogs so wasn't too
familiar with him. His presentation thing was fine, pretty funny. The Q&A I
thought was weird, the questions kind of put Eben in a weird
Wonder if the balloon movie was the author's idea or Mr. Petersen's?

Am I really the only Riv Lister who went to this thing? There were a lot of
not-Riv bikes on the ride, so maybe it was mostly Bike Snob people.
Interesting.

Thanks for at least confirming the event was held, Joe! I take it that was
your first time as a stoker, though there are rear steer tandems. I think
the tandem ride is ultimately more interesting than any book reading. I've
been following that project and I don't think I'm going out on a limb to
