so i've been running a bit again and it's kind of slightly hard on the body these days. kind of thinking about switching to indoor biking, especially since you can read or watch a movie while doing it, though ti requires roughly 2x the time for similar stimulus to running. but i would have to think about what the most reasonable way to do the whole setup is. we have a recumbent bike but with the way it is, basically going 100 rpm at top resistance only get me to 130bpm. #biking #cycling

I mentioned how I last rode an ebike in 2006 but that's not totally true...

Back in 2015 we built a tiny electric race car using a bicycle hub motor (and half a bike) and then we rebuilt it a year later...

So I wasn't lead on the building but I drove (rode?) it quite a bit.

Sigh, well I was feeling good about getting an ebike but I stopped by a local shop and the model I was looking at is pretty much sold out everywhere. They do have newer models ($more expensive$) and some other modes so I may need to do up that whole spreadsheet of features to compare things.

Holy Crap! I biked to work... I took the (borrowed) ebike and it took 24 minutes. (I had estimated 35-40.) My route was about 7 miles. (The bike said 7, my phone said 6.7.)

This drive usually takes about 15 minutes by car. I probably spent at least a few minutes waiting at stoplights at the busier streets but taking the Oak Leaf Trail was smooth as hell.

Bicycling in Pebble Beach is temporarily restricted Saturday and Sunday, August 16-17, 2025 due to Concours d'Elegance. Also, although not restricted Monday through Friday, August 11-15, Pebble Beach Company does not recommend biking inside Pebble Beach on those five dates as well.

Watch out for big trucks! Monterey County roads will see many more around August 8-17, hauling cars for “Car Week.” Our Summer Bike Buzz https://bikemonterey.org/bike-buzz-summer-2025-news-from-bicycling-monterey.html updates include a reminder about Cycling Savvy’s tips on “The 6 Things You Need to Know” to stay clear of a truck’s danger zones. https://cyclingsavvy.org/what-cyclists-need-to-know-about-trucks/

Today I rode the ebike to Capital Drive which is 5 miles towards work... It looks like it would be 3 miles from there to get to work, so 8 miles total, which is 2 more than I estimated.

But on the ebike it was a breeze. I tried to go pretty fast, and the route I took was a perfect biking route. The first 6.5 miles should be easy, though the last 1.5 might be a bit treacherous.

I'll try Thurs or Fri if I can.

Someone said there’s a huge difference between going 20mph and 28mph on a bike. I completely agree.
