@art
congratulation, it took me a while to tackle that too.
I wish more folks would realize that ebikes are easy to work on. Its just one extra cable coming out of the rear axle. Protect that and everything else is the same.

Just remember to NOT wash your bike when its upside down. There is usually a drain hole that will let water into the electronics/battery area.

Update one week after my surgery.

Yesterday, I was able to switch from crutches to a cane in my apartment. It’s a game changer for moving faster and carrying some stuff!

Today was my first time out of my apartment to have lunch with my daughter. Taking an Uber to go and walking a part for the return. For now, I did 650 meters and keep going…

We need to enjoy our small victories :-)

I am all about safety, but does this not look like trying to solve street safety through the most indirect means possible?

"New York City cyclists received 10 times as many criminal summonses in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the first, according to new police data — part of NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch’s amped-up enforcement plans around street safety."

"Though it was previously possible to get a criminal summons on a bike for quality of life crimes — such as riding a bike on the sidewalk — those tickets were given out far less frequently. The roughly 6,000 summonses issued over the past three months eclipse the 5,605 total issued over the last seven years, according to police data."

"New York bike lawyer Daniel Flanzig, said it’s unfair that accused cyclists aren’t routed through traffic court as drivers are."

Sitting here laughing at myself. I was so miffed at this ticking sound, I nearly tossed the whole bike into the bin. Was it the brakes? Nope. How 'bout the front derailer, the HG hub, spokes, bottom bracket, cassette, chain? Nah. It was a loose pedal. On a positive note, I have a bunch of new bike tools so feel free to come over for repairs. Bring cookies.

Better biking in biggest US cities

The 10 largest U.S. urban areas included in PeopleForBikes’ annual bikeability ratings all scored above a 50, tipping point for "building the momentum necessary to create a safe, low-stress route network that allows people to bike from home to all of the places they want to go."

Also profiles Denver's ebike rebates, Boston's cargo bike share, and Portland's bike bus to school.

I always ride my e-bike to work because it is just a better experience all around in that context. On the weekend, I never feel like I miss a beat when I take my analog bike out. I think e-bikes are an amazing tool for transportation, the elderly, disabled, and anyone who needs it, but there is no better experience than an unencumbered ride on an analog bike. I always feel like it clears my mind a bit faster and better.

@daliazygas @ajsadauskas It really is!

You can literally walk from one end of town to the other along fully pedestrian streets.

You read in old books about people "promenading". Of people seeing and being seen.

Of people sitting to just watch people passing by. Of people walking down the boulevard in their best designer gear.

And especially in that tree-lined centre corridor, with the park benches, there's a lot of folks doing that today.

Something that really stood out to me was the diversity of different kinds of people who were cycling, rollerskating, and scootering down Laisvės Alėja.

It wasn't just the usual middle aged men in lycra.

There were young kids, right through to elderly grandmas and grandpas.

Even whole families cycling together!

I saw a number of young families, with mum, dad, and two kids around six or eight, all cycling together!

And something else you don't often see elsewhere: Parents cycling with their teenaged sons or daughters.

The skateboarders are treated as just another mode of active transport, instead of as something to be banned.

Which leads to skaters getting to where they need to go, respectful of other people.

There's also a lot of people who either live or work within a block or two of the street. Many of the rest head there in their spare time to have a coffee, or a drink, or a meal with friends. Or go to a show at one of the theatres, or a concert.

People don't want to sit in their apartments when it's sunny and 24 degrees (celsius) in Summer, and the days are long. They want to sit outside and catch up with friends and colleagues at a café/bar after work.

So the street basically functions as the city's communal living room.

As a result, there's constantly people spontaneously bumping into a friend, or a neighbour, or a colleague, and saying "labas".

Pictures can only tell half the story. It really is a great vibe in Kaunas during the Summertime.
