I've got over 6,000 miles on my Ebike

 I've ridden all the way from here, 
to.... well, back here again.  
Here's just some of what I've seen.












My Beautiful Trek Verve2 ebike.  It's an XL frame with a 60 mile battery.  Shown here with optional front and rear baskets.  (i've got my camera in the back)  In the front basket I installed a custom cut out foam to hold my Bluetooth speaker.  I ride and listen to NPR stories or Pandora music.  This version has no throttle requiring real work to make it move.  I have to peddle.  Also, the bike has an 18ml per hr governor on it.  (my 'normal' speed is 8-11mph)


I've NOT had any words with this guy but his bike just "screams crazy!"


Bike for 2
A Paraplegic Veteran






A famous bike Totem Pole








My very mobile phone.  Used to entertain and to Map a route.




Yes, I did ask.  "He had all this stuff in storage and decided to just carry it with him."












My bike, back when the kickstand broke.


This guy is special.  See his full facemask.  He has too many additions to mention.









I was on my bike, stopped, when these boarders rolled through.  I stuck out my hand and the little girl gave me a nice firm slap.  She had it all under control and knew it.













































































I was pretty 'uncomfortable' when i rode under the bucket just knowing he was about to drop a wrench at any second.


I was riding up near Tarpon Springs and saw some monkeys.

I guess it's the excitement of seeing new things that keeps me out and riding the trails?  That, and the exercise.  I meet other riders who tell me about, "Oh there's this Park just a few miles down some road that has something you just gotta see."  I'm going to jump up from the couch and go ride now.  "If it's gonna happen, it's gonna happen out there!"


PS. i recently got several flashing lights, in case I'm out too late.
