A Case Study In Selling Your Car And Using Ebikes And Carshare Instead
A friend of mine recently made a move that I’ve been telling him to do for the past four years – he finally sold his car and is going car-free. To replace his car, he’s using a combination of ebikes, carshare, mass transit, and rental cars. Going car-free is not a move that will work […]
I’m Overwhelmed With Credit Cards And Bank Account Bonuses
For nearly a decade now, I’ve been hitting up these credit card and bank account signup bonuses like it was a part-time job. In many ways, these bonuses were like a part-time job for me. Indeed, in most years, I was able to earn 5-figures worth of signup bonuses, as well as thousands of dollars […]
TST Surfer Review – A Nice Entry-Level Commuter Ebike
Ebikes come in many different styles, but for commuting and getting around in a city, I’ve developed a real appreciation for step-thru ebikes. Their easy-to-mount frames make them a practical choice for people riding with cargo or in normal street clothes. These days, almost all the bikes I ride tend to be step-thru ebikes. The […]

Hornit dB140 Review – The Loudest Bike Horn On The Market
As a year-round bike commuter, safety is really important to me. For being able to be heard, a simple bell is often good enough. But if you’re looking for something with a little bit more sound, going for a loud electronic horn is a better option. For the past year or so, I’ve been using […]

Nakto F2 Review – An Ebike That Looks Like A Motorcycle
Of all the different styles of ebikes out there, moped-style ebikes may be one of my favorites. There are a variety of different types of moped-style ebikes, but perhaps my favorite type is the Super 73-style ebike. These are bikes that, in a lot of ways, look and feel like a tiny motorcycle. And of […]
