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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Outside of safety and a lack of bike infrastructure, the main objection I see with getting an ebike has to do with price. To be sure, ebikes are more expensive than regular bikes. A decent basic ebike will cost you somewhere in the $1,000 range, with higher-end ebikes costing $2,000 or more. Cargo bikes, which […]

This year has been an interesting one, and since I’ve been pretty sporadic with my posting as of late, I thought a little update about the blog was warranted. I’ve been blogging for a long time now. I started this blog in 2016, which means I’ve seen the internet landscape change a lot over these […]

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 […]

As a business card, the card_name is one of the first cards I recommend, and indeed, it often acts as a default card […]

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 […]

I’ve been harping for years about the value of getting and using ebikes, and specifically, how this single decision to get around with an ebike can be worth millions of dollars to you. The math simply doesn’t lie. Cars are extraordinarily expensive to own and maintain, and opting not to use a car, if you […]
