Do they mean soaking wet or riding your bike in the lake?

I'm old enough to remember when bicycles were powered by your feet.

Most folks I’ve seen riding e-Bikes are seniors. I’m sure they would be popular in Florida with year around use.

Really nice when you have a ten mile ride back home into the wind.

We rode bikes without helmets.
Or knee pads, elbow pads and wrist pads.

A lot of much younger ones have them too down here. My neighbor Jaye Marie (LPGA tour player) got in a really bad accident on hers up at the beach. Cost her almost a year on tour, and she’s still not right.

Some of them are so powerful that if you’re not well accustomed to motorcycle, dirt bike, etc. use, you had better be careful.

Didn’t need seat belts in cars either, right?

Boy they sure did sugar coat that one. I wish that they’d be blunt and just say that any kind of over charge or even normal charge of a Li-ion pack (with just one bad cell) or a partial or direct short circuit can make a cell get hot! As soon as it gets to about 250°F it goes RTE or Runaway Thermal Event. That means it spontaneously ignites into a pretty pink flame thats hot enough to melt glass and water just makes it hotter. All can be done is to let it burn out.

Had them, didn’t use them. Rode in pick-up beds, too. Awesome.

The 4th Amendment still meant something then.
