E-Bikes
I mowed my lawns this morning, had a bit of a cool down and a brew, and then went riding. I rode with the #2 battery that just shut down last night. I rode three loops and then stayed in town riding my cool down loop repeatedly. I wanted to drain the battery but be within non assist distance from home. The battery behaved exactly as it normally does. I rode home and put the bike up. I had ridden 39 miles and had 27% battery remaining. The battery was reading 48.1v of the 52v capacity. Last night it was showing 20% at 43 miles. All things considered, I can't say if the bike or the battery had a problem. I couldn't replicate whatever went down yesterday.
I went out to ride again after dinner. I planned it to be a sort outing. The heat of the day had beat me up. My ride was a lot shorter than anticipated. My back tire was flat. I changed back into my work clothes and changed the flat tube for another. I found just a small wire in the tire. I pulled it out, double checked for anything in the tire or liner, put in another tube and remounted to the wheel. I came back in to put my riding clothes back on when I saw a washer on the floor. It had fallen off the wheel when I was working on it and I had failed to notice. I repeated the removal of the back wheel, put the necessary washer back onto the wheel, and remounted it. I rolled the bike back into the shed and locked the door. That's how short my evening ride was.
I was a hot and humid week day. There were no cyclists and only one lone guy walking on the Sidewalk. School busses were running everywhere around town. It must have been practice day for the new drivers. I think school starts next week or so. It seems to start earlier every year. I guess it has to start in the middle of summer to get all the days off they have nowadays.
