This is Aaron’s graduation race… My nephew talked us into doing this race (his dad and Bindl uncle’s), and then he took a 2,000 mile bike ride to Niagara Falls without a video camera. So I got this idea to try out the Google Maps for documenting a trip. Click on the lines and images above for notes and highlights. 2008 race results at OnLineRaceResults.com. See a better quality video in later post - the one embedded in map above is only YouTube regular quality.

This is an on-line Stickcam interview with Dan Kaufman. Dan does live web casts from his bike while riding and covering bicycle activities. He’s a bike enthusiast, musician, and operates a bike company called Crankmychain. He uses Stickam for live casting of biking events, from his basement studio, and of leisure rides about town as he stops for an occasional song or two.

Testing the Cyclemotor on my bike. The one from first electric bike series where I couldn’t get the other kit on bike.

An interview with Jeff Radtke of Neodymics on his Cyclemotor - or electric bike adaptor/kit. Part of the Rural Roads with Roger series.

Rural Roads reviews the Cyclemotor by Neodymics… it’s an electric bike conversion kit by inventor Jeff Radtke, or a bicycle-to-moped upgrade (BMU™) as described on the Neodymics website (www.neodymics.com). It’s an intriguing “upgrade” since the entire kit is self contained, and makes it quick to install and remove. At first glance it looks odd, but become evident very quickly that it is very functional.
