Thoughts on Sports

As someone who is often out in areas where ticks are common, this is great to hear. California, where I live and ride MTB most often, isn’t a Lyme hotspot, but I’ve still had my share of tick discoveries post-ride, and this would definitely be welcome when that happens.

Ooh, iRacing for Vision Pro sounds pretty great, although I don’t have a wheel to try it out. Given how far I went with sim racing last time, maybe I shouldn’t be tempted again.

This is pretty cool.

The idea that the very expensive e-bike I bought would require an ongoing subscription, in addition to the potential premature obsolescence that could be brought on by the collapse—or just change of plans—of the company, are serious concerns I’d have when considering one.

If you use Quarry Park, please take a moment to complete the survey.

This article thoughtfully articulates the current backlash against e-motos, the conflation with legal e-bikes, and the danger to the latter. We need to be able to embrace e-bikes as true micro-mobility vehicles while getting control of kids riding e-motos dangerously.

An electric T-Line sounds almost perfect. 24.6 pounds without the battery sounds amazing, and the 32.4 with it is about the weight of my non-electric G Line. The two big cons: the almost $8,000 price tag and the 15 MPH limit.

Fun! I’ve watched videos of the BWC in the past, and the Sea Otter seems like a great venue to do it in the US. (I’m not sure there should be multiple races called the “World Championship”, but whatever.)
