There is always a point where it takes some training to fix something. I am reaching the point where a replacement would likely be cheaper than a repair.

I took my empty mow trailer to Lowes and loaded up the border stones I needed. I got them in place and then did my mowing. That put me into the middle afternoon before I was able to go riding. I saw a few riders on the sidewalk this afternoon. It was a bit windy but it is Kansas. I came home when I was low on battery and ate dinner. I then went riding again. I logged 74 miles today. What wind there was earlier died down this evening and made for some perfect riding conditions. I rode upon a group of cyclists tonight. I followed them for a while until the dad noticed me and he stopped his crew. I stopped and shot the bull with the dad. He and his three sons, I'm guessing the youngest five and the oldest ten, were all riding e-bikes. They were all just out for a spin and nobody was pedaling. I proclaimed, e-bikes are a wonderful thing. The dad readily agreed. It was fun watching them all coasting together. At least they were doing something together! Later, I caught up and passed a young lady that had a small child in a carrier on the back of her e-bike. That's the second time I've see them out enjoying some bike time. She was pedaling but I'm sure she was using some assist. That's a neat use of the e-bike.

I had a full day and riding was just the icing on the cake. I mowed my lawns and then went South and mowed my cabin property. I gave it the deluxe mow that it gets each spring. Not only mowed but trimmed around all the trees and what is the high water bank. I've seen the river that high twice though the years but it's a rare deal. It's impossible to mow and I take the string trimmer to it each spring. I came home and grilled out some chicken. I went riding after dinner. It was very windy today so I didn't miss much. I logged 33 miles before dark.
I saw e-bikes all over town today while mowing. I saw an older lady riding a full size e-bike and I saw a young couple riding scooter type e-bikes. The rest I saw were males riding road bikes that have the battery in the down tube. I thought to myself, the number of e-bikes I'm seeing this year is at least triple what I was seeing last summer. I know the number will increase once school is out and on days that the wind isn't in the mid twenties miles per hour. When I was riding tonight, I met just one cyclist on a traditional road bike on the sidewalk South.
