Re: [RBW] Re: Remember Islabikes?

[Deborah Coffin]

This post died long ago, but I’m hoping to address all of you who got one of 
these long enough ago that your kids might have outgrown.

If anyone has a red Islabikes Beinn 20S that I could buy, I sure would love to 
find one for my grandson’s 5th birthday this month.

Re: [RBW] Re: Hiluki vintage ??

[Chad]

Hey Sean, welcome to the AHH club!  I thought I recognized your name from the 
‘82 Sequoia I bought last summer in Lawrence.

I have been trying to date my AHH as well.  Mine is a 52cm 650B complete that 
the previous owner bought from Riv in I believe 2009 according to the old RBW 
invoice I have from the owner.  It is Toyo-built with the current style fork 
crown, lighter AHH blue with an almost purple tint, and serial number AHH02**.  
IIRC previous owner told me that RBW had Waterford AHH frames in stock and a 
few Toyo frames leftover in the warehouse.  She requested the older Toyo 
version because she liked the lighter blue.

[RBW] Joe Appaloosa spotted in Napa - who’s in our neighborhood?

[Pancake]

Michael liked you bike a ton which says something because he rides a his old 
steel frame around an awful lot. His old trek 820 has a SON dynamo hub on some 
nice hand built wheels and 3 decades of replacement parts and upgrades ... he 
puts more than 12,000 miles on it every year, he’s hilarious and rides the the 
Napa Eagles cycling club a lot. Find him (and possibly me) at Molinari’s on 
Brown St in downtown Napa most week days.

Enjoy your e bike. I'm not sure what the laws are for Colorado.
I wonder what the laws are for all those electric scooters.
The Green Flash Is right on the strand..Named after the flash that happens
when the sun sets on the horizon and disappears.
Good food with great people watching.

Thanks for the insurance info. I didn't know that.

I used to live in Long Beach and we would eat there every time we went down 
there.

Re: [RBW] Glacier Point Road in Yosemite open to bikes only Sat May 4

[Keith Weaver]

That sounds great! Living in Reno, the Tioga Road from Lee Vining is my
preferred route. It looks like that may be a bit longer before it's open.
They usually do a bikes-only weekend on that road as well, your message
reminded me to keep my eyes open for that announcement. I have also gone
before they open all the way, it was fun to ride up to a wall of snow by
Tioga Lake.

Re: [RBW] Re: Will there be other riv-ish bikes on the 5 Borough Bike Tour (NYC)?

[ascpgh]

Take time and smell the roses (and enjoy some local “off course” coffee and 
food). 

My wife and I did the ride a few years back and the urge to “keep going” made 
us look askew at the big crowds at the rest stops. By the time We were up on 
the Gowanus Parkway she was really tired and thirsty. I pushed her seatpost 
with one hand to the park at the foot of the Verrazano Narrows Bridge and the 
vendors awaiting us.

The only other thing she grew tired of was the endless complimenting my orange 
Rambouillet drew. “Why do so many people think that bike fits you so well?” she 
asked.

I saw ten or so Rivendells. Figured it was about right.

[RBW] Put an e-bike kit on my Cheviot

[KC]

Very scary thing I just did. A major dilemma - make it so my "perfect" bike 
could get up the hill out of my driveway so I could ride it everywhere or 
risk ruining the ride on my perfect bike, not to mention making it a little 
heavier to lift for the bike rack.  But we had to do something so we took 
the leap.  

We had a shop in Pacific Beach (San Diego area) install the mid-drive kits 
purchased from Luna Cycles. Took our first ride Wednesday and went up the 
hill like it wasn't there. We set it up for maximum 20 speed and did not 
put the throttle on, so just using the pedal assist. It took a few minutes 
for me to get used to the feel of the pedal assist and how to shift now 
using a combination of the gears and the assist. I thought the ride was 
"different" but very good, a slightly different version of biking. Chuck 
thinks I over-analyze and is just extremely happy with his new set-up on 
his Space Horse. 

I turned the system off completely after our first stop out of the 
neighborhood and left it off until close to home again.  Went up a hill I 
am used to without any assist and it didn't feel much different, maybe a 
little more effort required due to the added weight. That made me very 
happy because I want to be able to ride "normally" as much as possible. I 
had to give up my rear rack space for the battery. Maybe that wouldn't be 
the case for a larger Cheviot - could it be installed where the bottle cage 
goes? Chuck only had to give up 1 bottle cage spot. Since I will just 
"borrow" one of Dave Carroll's pannier sets (he'll never notice), I will be 
just fine.

Joe Bernard expressed concerns about the brakes on the Cheviot relative to 
adding the kit. I understand what he is saying because it is a powerful 
machine. But I am a slow, conservative, rider so I think I am ok. 

Part of my agonizing was not knowing how much power I needed to add to the 
bike to accomplish what I needed. I now know I probably have twice as much 
as I need. Guess I'll be ready for anything. When Keven spec'd my bike he 
said I would be able to go up a tree trunk. He was wrong, but now I think I 
can.  And, very important, my bike is still beautiful. 

One added note. In my research leading up to the decision, I spent some 
time thinking about battery fires and made sure it doesn't affect my 
homeowner's insurance. My agent assured me it doesn't. BUT I did discover 
that once you electrify a bike, it is a motorized vehicle and not covered 
under your homeowner's policy. So not only does it not cover a loss to the 
bike, but you are not covered for liability if you hurt someone while you 
are riding it. I didn't want that added risk so I purchased liability 
insurance for $108 each a year. To avoid the very high cost of coverage for 
loss to the bike itself, I declared the value at $500, matching the policy 
deductible.

Re: [RBW] Re: Will there be other riv-ish bikes on the 5 Borough Bike Tour (NYC)?

[JohnS]

I'll be there on my orange Quickbeam with my son and our friends. We park 
on Staten Island and coming over on the ferry for the 2nd wave start, so 
look for us if you're doing the same. I think this is our 8th year for my 
friend and I. And the 7th year for my son. he use to ride the back of the 
tandem, but now rides his own single speed Holdsworth .

As far as the bike traffic goes, I'll take it any day over car traffic! 
Bumping into another cyclist and falling over is much better than being run 
over by a car.

They are Schwalbe Smart Sam's. I was given them and I am a fan. They roll 
pretty good on pavement and handle well enough on the trails I ride.

I did have fenders and Horizon's on it over the winter.

[RBW] Glacier Point Road in Yosemite open to bikes only Sat May 4

[tuolumne bikes]

See https://www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/tioga.htm

for info and updates on not yet announced bikes only dates for Tioga Road.

Glacier Point is a 36 mile round trip out-and-back from Wawona Road. I 
recall entry fee as $30/car from last year. Facilities along the road are 
usually closed, so be self-sufficient. Photo is lunch from last year. On 
bikes only days the only visitors out at the point either biked in or hiked 
up from the valley. The website isn't entirely clear, but it looks like 
Sunday may be bikes only too. Will be out there Sat on orange tandem.
