It is officially bent. Front should sit about 1/2" above the middle and it's the other way. When you put it onto the table you can see that it's bent. Shop is working on a letter and estimate for replacement to take back to insurance.
Does your kiddo know she's getting a new kart yet?

Those of you down in Kansas are going to need to tell me if I need to buy my neighbours boat that hasn't moved in 7 years. The amount of rain is mucho.

Some of the Mineral samples returned to me are fakes. Pretty pissed off about that. A Herkimer diamond. Jeez you can buy one for $10. The sample was nothing special.

Germany may be the leading edge of the ebike movement. This year, more than 50% of *all* bikes sold in Germany will likely be ebikes. In the mountain bike category, *already* last year 9/10 bikes sold were ebikes. Don’t fixate on Germany, though. These figures are ramping up similarly all around the world.

Still: in 2020 already one in every eight German families, or 5.1 million people, owned an e-bike, up from 4.3 million the previous year

I think that people who care about bikes should embrace this.
thank goodness they are refiring their coal powerplants in these trying times....

One day, not too long ago, I was flogging my ass up a mountain in Bavaria, trying to earn my downhill. I was on a double wide, maintained section of trail when I heard a weird whirring/humming behind me. Thinking it a trail maintenance vehicle or something of the like, I slid over into a wide spot and waited for it to pass. In a minute or so, along comes and old Fraulein on the first e-bike I ever saw. She pedals on by like it was nothing, a bowed my head in shame.

TL/DR? E bikes suck, JohnE is slow.

I get passed by an old fat guy on an E-trike going up and out of the canyon behind my house all the time, he and I have similar Saturday schedules or something. Shit used to get to me, and then I remembered he's on an e-trike, and I had a ton of fun actually pedaling through shit, still planning to one day show up on a dirtbike and roost the shit out of him, but until then I've found a sense of calm.

I appreciate it when e-bikers pass me. That way they can't try to tell me about their e-bike.

Most adults are too large for a Powerwheels.

Whenever I am on the east side of the cascades I am surprised by the sheer number of these things I see.
